The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) supplies the OnStar(R) button assembly with 10 volts via the keypad supply voltage circuit. Each of the buttons, when pressed, completes the circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM over the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned, the VCIM is able to identify which button has been activated. Conditions for Running the DTCs The ignition is ON. System voltage is between 9 - 16 volts. Conditions for Setting the DTCs B2476 04: The VCIM detects an open/high resistance on the keypad supply voltage circuit. B2482 and B2476 59: The VCIM detects a valid signal on the keypad signal circuit for more than 15 seconds. If one of the OnStar(R) buttons is held or stuck for 15 seconds or more, the VCIM will set these DTCs. Action Taken When the DTCs Set The OnStar(R) status LED turns red. No calls can be placed. The VCIM will ignore all inputs from the OnStar® button assembly. Conditions for Clearing the DTCs The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. Page 11184 3.

Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 8236 positive identification and location of individual parts: Valve Body Spring and Bore Plug Chart (Metric) Page 2623 12.

The modules that need real time communication are attached to the high speed GMLAN network. The body control module (BCM) is the gateway between the networks. The purpose of the gateway is to translate serial data messages between the GMLAN high speed buss and the GMLAN low speed buss. The gateway will interact with each network according to that network's transmission protocol. Refer to Body Control System Description and Operation for more information about the gateway. The 2.2L (L61) powertrain control module (PCM) on this vehicle, uses a class 2 serial data buss. The class 2 buss is only used for diagnostics and the service programming system (SPS). During normal vehicle operations, there is no communications over the class 2 serial data buss. Normal vehicle operational messaging for the PCM is sent over the PCMs GMLAN high speed serial data buss. The 3.5L (LX9) PCM does not use a class 2 serial data circuit. GMLAN HIGH SPEED CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the high speed GMLAN serial data circuit. The serial data is transmitted on two twisted wires that allow speed up to 500 Kb/s. The twisted pair is terminated with two 120 ohms resistors, one is internal to the powertrain control module (PCM) or engine control module (ECM) depending on regular production option (RPO) and the other is internal to the body control module (BCM). The BCM is considered the DLC termination point of the link and the engine management controller is the other end of the link. The resistors are used to reduce noise on 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. The idle level, which is approximately 2.5 volts, is considered recessive transmitted data and is interpreted as a logic 1. Driving the lines to their extremes, adds one volt to the high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) and subtracts one volt from the high speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) wire. This dominant state is interpreted as a logic 0. GMLAN network management supports selective start up and is based on virtual networks. A virtual network is a collection of signals started in response to a vehicle event. The starting of a virtual network signifies that a particular aspect of the vehicles functionality has been requested. A virtual network is supported by virtual devices, which represents a collection of signals owned by a single physical device. So, any physical device can have one or more virtual devices. The signal supervision is the process of determining whether an expected signal is being received or not. Fail softing is the ability to substitute a signal with a default value or a default algorithm, in the absence of a valid signal. Some messages are also interpreted as a heartbeat of a virtual device. If such a signal is lost, the application will set a no communication code against the respective virtual device. This code is mapped on the Tech 2 screen as a code against the physical device. NOTE: a loss of serial data DTC does not represent a failure of the module that the code is set in. GMLAN LOW SPEED CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit. The serial data is transmitted over a single wire to the appropriate control modules. 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. This protocol produces a simple pules train sent out over the GMLAN low speed serial data bus. When a module pulls the buss high, 5 volts, this creates a dominant logic state or 0 on the buss. When the buss is pulled low 0 volts, it is translated as a recessive logic state or 1. To wake the control modules connected to the GMLAN low speed serial data buss, a high voltage wake up pulse is sent out over the buss, the voltage level of the pules is +10 volts. Modules connected to the GMLAN low speed buss can be part of a virtual network as described in the previous paragraph. The modules on the GMLAN low speed serial data buss are connected to the buss in a parallel configuration. CLASS 2 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the class 2 serial data circuit. Class 2 serial data is transmitted on a single wire at an average of 10.4 Kbps. The bus is active at 7 volts nominal and inactive at ground potential. When the ignition switch is in RUN, and a scan tool is connected to the DLC, the 2.5L (L61) powertrain control module (PCM) will start communicating diagnostic information over the class 2 serial data circuit. The 3.5L (LX9) PCM does not use a class 2 serial data circuit. 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 GMLAN low speed communications terminal - Pin 2 Class 2 signal terminal 2.5L (L61) - Pin 4 Scan tool power ground terminal - Pin 5 Common signal ground terminal - Pin 6 High speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) terminal - Pin 14 High speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) terminal - Pin 16 Scan tool power, battery positive voltage terminal CLASS 2 SERIAL DATA USAGE The class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle is only used for the 2.2L (L61) powertrain control module (PCM) diagnostics and PCM service programming system (SPS) programming. The 3.5L (LX9) PCM does not use a class 2 serial data circuit. Service and Repair Cowl Moulding / Trim: Service and Repair Air Inlet Grille Panel Replacement Removal Procedure 1.

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.

Parts Information Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Disclaimer Page 13149 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5.

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.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 5643 Page 4408 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 4601 Page 10785 3.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

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

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question.

Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging. Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the serial data bus. The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R) system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand. The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request. OnStar(R) Button Assembly The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit. The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as follows: ^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer and end calls or initiate speech recognition. ^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to connect to the OnStar(R) call center. ^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed. The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit. When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed. The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will flash red during the call. If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the account status. Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly. Page 497 Important: The optic cable must not be bent with a radius less than 25 mm (1 in). 12.5.

This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982. Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door you are programming. The GDO is programmed by using the customer's hand-held transmitter(s). Turn the ignition OFF while programming the GDO transmitter. Follow these steps to program up to 3 channels: 1. If you have previously programmed a transmitter, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, hold down the 2 outside buttons on the GDO transmitter for approximately 20 seconds, until the light on the GDO transmitter begins to flash rapidly. Then release the buttons. This procedure erases any previous settings and initializes the memory for all 3 channels. 2. Decide which of the 3 channels you want to program to the transmitter you have. 3. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter against the front surface of the GDO (less than 1 inch) so you can still see the light. 4. Using both hands, press the hand-held transmitter button and the desired button on the GDO transmitter. Continue to hold both buttons through Step 5. 5. Hold down the buttons on both transmitters until you see the light on the GDO transmitter flash slowly and then rapidly. The rapid flashing, which could take up to 90 seconds, indicates that the GDO transmitter has been programmed. Release the buttons on both transmitters when the light starts to flash rapidly. IMPORTANT: The GDO is compatible with most, but not all, types and brands of transmitters. If the GDO light does not flash rapidly after 90 seconds, there may be a compatibility conflict with the transmitter used to program the GDO. Call HomeLink(TM) at 1-800-355-3515 in order to address this problem. TRAINING THE GDO FOR ROLLING CODE RECEIVERS This procedure is for training the customer's rolling code garage door openers to their GDO transmitter. The GDO must already be programmed to its hand-held transmitter. The training process below must be completed within 30 seconds or it must be repeated. 1. Locate the train button on the garage door opener receiver. Refer to the operator's manual for the garage door opener (or call HomeLink(TM) at 1-800-355-3515 for assistance). Follow instructions for the garage door opener in order to determine when the unit is in train mode. 2. Return to the GDO transmitter in the vehicle, and press the button that you want trained for rolling codes 3 times, for 1 second each time. If not successfully programmed, try 2-5 seconds each time. 3. Press the button used again in order to verify that the GDO transmitter has been programmed. You may use either the hand-held transmitter or the GDO to open the garage door. The GDO is compatible with most, but not all, types and brands of transmitters. If the GDO light does not flash rapidly after 90 seconds, there may be a compatibility conflict with the transmitter used to program the GDO. Call HomeLink(TM) at 1-800-355-3515 in order to address compatibility concerns. ERASING CHANNELS Page 7377 2. Install the CKP sensor in the engine block and attachment bolt.

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. Page 11436 Page 6719 Chevrolet Malibu, DTC P0442 or P0455 may be set by either a cracked EVAP canister or a fuel gauge that does not measure fuel level accurately. For EVAP canister concerns, refer to bulletin 05-06-04-004A. For fuel gauge concerns, refer to bulletin 04-08-49-025. If the fuel cap cannot be tightened or removed, proceed to the section below titled, Replacing Broken Fuel Cap. If DTC P0442 - Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Small Leak Detected is stored in the Engine Control Module (ECM), proceed to section titled DTC P0442. If DTC P0455 - Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Large Leak Detected is stored in the ECM, proceed to section titled DTC P0455. Refer to the appropriate Service Information (SI) for additional Diagnostic Assistance. Some vehicles may intermittently set a DTC of P0442 or P0455, leak in the evaporative emissions system. In addition to checking the system and performing the diagnostics as described in the Service Information for this DTC, the technician should be aware that some of the fuel caps used on GM vehicles may not seal adequately to the filler neck if pushed down when being tightened. This may occur more often when this cap is used on a vehicle with a steel fuel filler neck. The owner should be instructed not to apply a downward force to the fuel cap when tightening. Replacing Broken Fuel Cap Remove the fuel cap tether from the fuel filler pocket or fuel filler door. Remove the fuel cap from the fuel filler. If the fuel cap cannot be removed, remove the fuel cap ratcheting cover by releasing the four (4) tabs holding the cap cover to the lugged sealing base. Position the radiator hose removal tool or similar type tool between the black cover and white inside body, and pry the cover over the retaining tab by rotating the tool counter clockwise. Repeat, if necessary, on the 3 other locations around the cover. Remove the white fuel cap base from the filler pipe by rotating the fuel cap base counter clockwise. Install the new fuel filler cap and secure the tether to the fuel filler pocket or filler door. DTC P0455 - (Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Large Leak Detected) Diagnostic Aids: P0455 diagnostics is checking for a large leak in the EVAP system. Examples of conditions that may contribute to this code setting are: loose or broken fuel cap, disconnected or cracked EVAP lines, cracked charcoal canister, sticking purge or vent solenoids, inaccurate fuel gauge, etc. DTC P0442 - (Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Small Leak Detected) Diagnostic Aids: P0442 diagnostics is checking for a 0.5 mm (0.020 in) sized hole in the EVAP system. Examples of conditions which may cause this type leak could include: cracked EVAP lines, cracked charcoal canister, a cut or dirty fuel cap seal, debris on the purge or vent solenoid internal seals, loose fuel lines, etc. Refer to Fuel Cap Inspection for P0442.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 1270 Power Mirror Switch: Removal and Replacement Power Mirror Switch Replacement Removal Procedure 1. Remove the door trim panel. 2.

If the heat stake marks are not present, replace the camshaft cover with a new one. 2. If the heat stake marks are present, re-install the camshaft cover on the engine. Refer to Camshaft Cover Installation in the appropriate Service Information (SI) procedures. Intake Manifold 1. Remove the intake manifold from the cylinder head. Refer to Intake Manifold Removal in the appropriate Service Information (SI) procedures. 2. Attempt to insert the chuck end of a 2.0 mm (5/64 in) drill bit into the PCV orifice where shown. The orifice is slightly below the surface. 3. If the chuck end of the drill bit can be inserted, replace the intake manifold with a new one. 4. If the chuck end of the drill bit cannot be inserted, re-install the intake manifold to the cylinder head. Refer to Intake Manifold Installation in the appropriate Service Information (SI) procedures. 5. If the information in this bulletin did not correct the excessive oil consumption condition, refer to Oil Consumption Diagnosis in the appropriate Service Information (SI) procedures. Page 2195 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 122 Page 2693 Disclaimer Page 11803 Page 14099 16.

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 Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder - Dash Mounted Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Service and Repair Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder - Dash Mounted Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder Replacement Removal Procedure 1.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 5537 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-06-02-001 (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System). Important: 2004-05 Chevrolet Aveo (Pontiac Wave, Canada Only) does not use DEX-COOL(R). Refer to the flushing procedure explained later in this bulletin. The following information should be utilized when servicing aluminum heater core and/or radiators on repeat visits. A replacement may be necessary because erosion, corrosion, or insufficient inhibitor levels may cause damage to the heater core, radiator or water pump. A coolant check should be performed whenever a heater core, radiator, or water pump is replaced. The following procedures/ inspections should be done to verify proper coolant effectiveness. Caution: To avoid being burned, do not remove the radiator cap or surge tank cap while the engine is hot. The cooling system will release scalding fluid and steam under pressure if the radiator cap or surge tank cap is removed while the engine and radiator are still hot. Important: If the vehicle's coolant is low, drained out, or the customer has repeatedly added coolant or water to the system, then the system should be completely flushed using the procedure explained later in this bulletin. Technician Diagnosis ^ Verify coolant concentration. A 50% coolant/water solution ensures proper freeze and corrosion protection. Inhibitor levels cannot be easily measured in the field, but can be indirectly done by the measurement of coolant concentration. This must be done by using a Refractometer J 23688 (Fahrenheit scale) or J 26568 (centigrade scale), or equivalent, coolant tester. The Refractometer uses a minimal amount of coolant that can be taken from the coolant recovery reservoir, radiator or the engine block. Inexpensive gravity float testers (floating balls) will not completely analyze the coolant concentration fully and should not be used. The concentration levels should be between 50% and 65% coolant concentrate. This mixture will have a freeze point protection of -34 degrees Fahrenheit (-37 degrees Celsius). If the concentration is below 50%, the cooling system must be flushed. ^ Inspect the coolant flow restrictor if the vehicle is equipped with one. Refer to Service Information (SI) and/or the appropriate Service Manual for component location and condition for operation. ^ Verify that no electrolysis is present in the cooling system. This electrolysis test can be performed before or after the system has been repaired. Use a digital voltmeter set to 12 volts. Attach one test lead to the negative battery post and insert the other test lead into the radiator coolant, making sure the lead does not touch the filler neck or core. Any voltage reading over 0.3 volts indicates that stray current is finding its way into the coolant. Electrolysis is often an intermittent condition that occurs when a device or accessory that is mounted to the radiator is energized. This type of current could be caused from a poorly grounded cooling fan or some other accessory and can be verified by watching the volt meter and turning on and off various accessories or engage the starter motor. Before using one of the following flush procedures, the coolant recovery reservoir must be removed, drained, cleaned and reinstalled before refilling the system. Notice: ^ Using coolant other than DEX‐COOL(R) may cause premature engine, heater core or radiator corrosion. In addition, the engine coolant may require changing sooner, at 30,000 miles (50,000 km) or 24 months, whichever occurs first. Any repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Always use DEX‐COOL(R) (silicate free) coolant in your vehicle. ^ If you use an improper coolant mixture, your engine could overheat and be badly damaged. The repair cost would not be covered by your warranty. Too much water in the mixture can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts. Page 11930 Assistance for all GM fleet customers using GM STC products and services is provided on the Internet via www.gmcommontraining.com using the "Contact Us" button on the site and/or the GM Common Training Help Desk at 1-888-748-2687.

The drive belt is thin so that it can bend backwards and has several ribs to match the grooves in the pulleys. There also may be a V-belt style belt used to drive certain accessory drive components. The drive belts are made of different types of rubbers (chloroprene or EPDM) and have different layers or plys containing either fiber cloth or cords for reinforcement. Both sides of the drive belt may be used to drive the different accessory drive components. When the back side of the drive belt is used to drive a pulley, the pulley is smooth. The drive belt is pulled by the crankshaft balancer pulley across the accessory drive component pulleys. The spring loaded drive belt tensioner keeps constant tension on the drive belt to prevent the drive belt from slipping. The drive belt tensioner arm will move when loads are applied to the drive belt by the accessory drive components and the crankshaft. The drive belt system may have an idler pulley, which is used to add wrap to the adjacent pulleys. Some systems use an idler pulley in place of an accessory drive component when the vehicle is not equipped with the accessory. Page 7316 Crankshaft Position Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3.

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

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 Body - Creak/Groan When Opening/Closing Doors Front Door Hinge: All Technical Service Bulletins Body - Creak/Groan When Opening/Closing Doors File In Section: 08 - Body and Accessories Bulletin No.: 01-08-64-020C Date: October, 2004 TECHNICAL Subject: Creak Noise When Opening or Closing Doors (Apply Lubricant to Check Link) Models: 2001-2003 Chevrolet Malibu 2004-2005 Chevrolet Classic 2001-2004 Oldsmobile Alero 2001-2005 Pontiac Grand Am This bulletin is being revised to add the 2005 model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-08-64-020B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment on a creak or squeak noise when opening or closing one or more doors. Cause This condition may be caused by the door check link spring saddle. Correction Important: To prevent overspray from landing on the door glass, make sure all windows are rolled up before applying the lubricant to the check link. Slide the check link grommet back and spray GM Lubriplate(R) Lubricant, P/N 89021668 (in Canada, use P/N 89021674), or equivalent, on the check link saddle using a "straw" type nozzle extension. The nozzle extension should be inserted slightly into the opening above the check link arm and sprayed toward the outside of the door. If the nozzle is inserted too far into the door, it will go past the check link spring saddle and the lubricant will miss its target. Move the nozzle back and forth while spraying to distribute the lubricant. Open and shut the door until the noise is gone. Reinstall the check link grommet in the door.

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

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-01-010 (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System). Certain 2004-2008 General Motors products may be equipped with a new style of catalytic converter technically known as the close-coupled catalytic converter providing quick catalyst warm-up resulting in lower tail pipe emissions earlier in the vehicle operating cycle. If an engine breakdown or non-function were to occur (such as broken intake/exhaust valve or piston) debris may be deposited in the converter through engine exhaust ports. If the engine is non-functioning due to a severe overheat event damage to the ceramic "brick" internal to the catalytic converter may occur. This may result in ceramic debris being drawn into the engine through the cylinder head exhaust ports. If a replacement engine is installed in either of these instances the replacement engine may fail due to the debris being introduced into the combustion chambers when started. When replacing an engine for a breakdown or non-function an inspection of the catalytic converters and ALL transferred components (such as exhaust/ intake manifolds) should be performed. Any debris found should be removed. In cases of engine failure due to severe overheat dealers should also inspect each catalytic converter for signs of melting or cracking of the ceramic "brick". If damage is observed the converter should be replaced.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-49-016A (Section 08 - Body & Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment that the backlighting on the IPC does not illuminate in the daylight hours with headlamps manually turned on. They may further state that the backlighting does function at night, but not in the day time. Cause On these vehicles, backlighting for the IPC is not enabled unless the vehicle's lighting photocell determines that there is a nighttime ambient condition. Backlighting is not controlled through the use of the park lamp or headlamp switch. The conditions under which the photocell activates the backlighting may not satisfy each particular customer's personal expectations, or the customer may simply prefer to have the backlighting always illuminated on the IPC when headlamps are manually turned on. Correction Module reprogramming must be done using the Pass-Thru method. Select "Instrument Panel (Backlight Dimming Fix ONLY)" from the Supported Controllers list. For customers who wish to have the IPC backlighting illuminated, a new service calibration is now available that will activate the backlighting to full intensity during daytime hours with headlamps manually turned on. Reprogram the BCM using SPS. The new calibrations are currently available on TIS2WEB. Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Page 10411 Page 924 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 12573 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. 1-2 Shift Solenoid Valve Replacement Shift Solenoid: Service and Repair 1-2 Shift Solenoid Valve Replacement 1-2 Shift Solenoid Valve Replacement Removal Procedure Important: Retainer clips hold in each of the valve line-ups.

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

Depending on the vehicle and model year, perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification procedure or refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in SI. Page 11402 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown. Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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.

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 4402 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 3843 English Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development ENGLISH PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Thread Inserts THREAD INSERTS General purpose thread repair kits.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 9068 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 1243 Pedal Positioning Sensor: Service and Repair Brake Pedal Position Sensor Replacement BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-49-016A (Section 08 - Body & Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment that the backlighting on the IPC does not illuminate in the daylight hours with headlamps manually turned on. They may further state that the backlighting does function at night, but not in the day time. Cause On these vehicles, backlighting for the IPC is not enabled unless the vehicle's lighting photocell determines that there is a nighttime ambient condition. Backlighting is not controlled through the use of the park lamp or headlamp switch. The conditions under which the photocell activates the backlighting may not satisfy each particular customer's personal expectations, or the customer may simply prefer to have the backlighting always illuminated on the IPC when headlamps are manually turned on. Correction Module reprogramming must be done using the Pass-Thru method. Select "Instrument Panel (Backlight Dimming Fix ONLY)" from the Supported Controllers list. For customers who wish to have the IPC backlighting illuminated, a new service calibration is now available that will activate the backlighting to full intensity during daytime hours with headlamps manually turned on. Reprogram the BCM using SPS. The new calibrations are currently available on TIS2WEB. Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Page 10699 11. Install the AIR BAG (IGN) and AIR BAG (BATT) fuses into the BCM fuse center. 12. Install the BCM fuse center cover. 13. Use caution while reaching in and turn the ignition switch to the ON position.The AIR BAG indicator will flash then turn OFF. 14. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle if the AIR BAG warning indicator does not operate as described. Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information. Page 19 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Wheels - Chrome Wheel Staining/Pitting/Corrosion Wheels: All Technical Service Bulletins Wheels - Chrome Wheel Staining/Pitting/Corrosion INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 00-03-10-002F Date: April 21, 2011 Subject: Chemical Staining, Pitting, Corrosion and/or Spotted Appearance of Chromed Aluminum Wheels Models: 2012 and Prior GM Cars and Trucks Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years, suggest additional restorative products and add additional corrosion information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-03-10-002E (Section 03 - Suspension). Important You may give a copy of this bulletin to the customer. What is Chemical Staining of Chrome Wheels? Figure 1 Chemical staining in most cases results from acid based cleaners (refer to Figure 1 for an example). These stains are frequently milky, black, or greenish in appearance. They result from using cleaning solutions that contain acids on chrome wheels. Soap and water is usually sufficient to clean wheels. If the customer insists on using a wheel cleaner they should only use one that specifically states that it is safe for chromed wheels and does not contain anything in the following list. (Dealers should also survey any products they use during prep or normal cleaning of stock units for these chemicals.) - Ammonium Bifluoride (fluoride source for dissolution of chrome) - Hydrofluoric Acid (directly dissolves chrome) - Hydrochloric Acid (directly dissolves chrome) - Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonic Acid - Sulfamic Acid - Phosphoric Acid - Hydroxyacetic Acid Notice Many wheel cleaner instructions advise to take care to avoid contact with painted surfaces. Most customers think of painted surfaces as the fenders, quarter panels and other exterior sheet metal. Many vehicles have painted brake calipers. Acidic wheel cleaners may craze, crack, or discolor the paint on the brake calipers. Damage from wheel cleaners is not covered under the vehicle new car warranty. Soap and water applied with a soft brush is usually all that is required to clean the calipers. Whenever any wheel cleaner is used, it must be THOROUGHLY rinsed off of the wheel with clean, clear water. Special care must be taken to rinse under the hub cap, balance weights, wheel nuts, lug nut caps, between the wheel cladding and off the back side of the wheel. Wheels returned to the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) that exhibit damage from wheel cleaners most often have the damage around and under the wheel weight where the cleaner was incompletely flushed away.

These kits are available commercially. Repair Procedure Page 2345 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 3317 Important: DO NOT use an open end wrench on the hex on top of the oil filter cap. Use a 32 mm (1 1/4 inch) socket on the hex on the top of the oil filter cap, or an oil filter wrench on the outside diameter of the oil filter cap. ^ Tighten the oil filter cap until fully seated, DO NOT exceed 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). 4. Install the oil pan drain plug. ^ Tighten the oil pan drain plug to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). 5. Lower the vehicle. 6. Fill the engine with oil. Page 11771 these systems will then completely power OFF. OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows: ^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA ^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours ^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle communication platforms (VCPs)). Note During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike caused by the following: ^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system. ^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload. OnStar(R) System States of Readiness The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF. ^ High power ^ Low power ^ Sleep ^ Digital standby The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or when the system is performing a remote function. The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or RUN position, or with RAP enabled. The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions. If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby) based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again received. If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the following: ^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate ^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason. ^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded. Page 5903 Body Control Module: Scan Tool Testing and Procedures Scan Tool Data Definitions SCAN TOOL DATA DEFINITIONS Accessory Relay Command: The scan tool displays the state of the accessory relay command.

You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 7132 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 2334 3.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-03-10-012A (Section 03 - Suspension). Analysis of Returned Wheels Chrome wheels returned under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for pitting concerns have recently been evaluated. This condition is usually most severe in the vent (or window) area of the front wheels. This "pitting" may actually be brake dust that has been allowed to accumulate on the wheel. The longer this accumulation builds up, the more difficult it is to remove. Cleaning the Wheels In all cases, the returned wheels could be cleaned to their original condition using GM Vehicle Care Cleaner Wax, P/N 12377966 (in Canada, P/N 10952905). When using this product, you should confine your treatment to the areas of the wheel that show evidence of the brake dust build-up. This product is only for use on chromed steel or chromed aluminum wheels.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 5230 Page 3477 Fuel Pressure: Testing and Inspection Fuel System Diagnosis FUEL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The control module enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned ON. The control module will disable the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds unless the control module detects ignition reference pulses. The control module continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as ignition reference pulses are detected. The control module disables the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds if ignition reference pulses cease to be detected and the ignition remains ON. The fuel system is a returnless on-demand design. The fuel pressure regulator is a part of the fuel sender assembly, eliminating the need for a return pipe from the engine. A returnless fuel system reduces the internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the engine to the fuel tank. Reducing the internal temperature of the fuel tank results in lower evaporative emissions. The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel sender assembly inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel filter, contained in the fuel sender assembly, and the fuel feed pipe to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow than is needed by the fuel injection system. The fuel pump also supplies fuel to a venturi pump located on the bottom of the fuel sender assembly. The function of the venturi pump is to fill the fuel sender assembly reservoir. The fuel pressure regulator, a part of the fuel sender assembly, maintains the correct fuel pressure to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump and sender assembly contains a reverse flow check valve. The check valve and the fuel pressure regulator maintain fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long cracking times. TEST Page 14213 1.

Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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 Page 12345 ^ SP303 The following modules, components, and splice pack are connected to the star portion of the class 2 serial data circuit: ^ SP300 ^ Audio amplifier ^ Driver door module (DDM) ^ Driver door switch assembly (DDSA) ^ Memory seat module (MSM) ^ Left rear door module (LRDM) AND ^ SP303 ^ Antenna module ^ Front passenger door module (FPDM) ^ Rear integration module (RIM) ^ Right rear door module (RRDM) ^ Theft deterrent module (TDM) ^ Vehicle communication interface module (VCIM). Refer to Data Communication Schematics and Data Link Communications Description and Operation in SI. Part 2 Conditions for Running the DTC Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts. DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current. The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTC A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5 seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication. Action Taken When the DTC Sets The module uses a default value for the missing parameter. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. Diagnostic Aids When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or U1255 is set. Page 11605 Page 8240 Page 4787 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2.

The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) supplies the OnStar(R) button assembly with 10 volts via the keypad supply voltage circuit. Each of the buttons, when pressed, completes the circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM over the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned, the VCIM is able to identify which button has been activated. Conditions for Running the DTCs The ignition is ON. System voltage is between 9 - 16 volts. Conditions for Setting the DTCs B2476 04: The VCIM detects an open/high resistance on the keypad supply voltage circuit. B2482 and B2476 59: The VCIM detects a valid signal on the keypad signal circuit for more than 15 seconds. If one of the OnStar(R) buttons is held or stuck for 15 seconds or more, the VCIM will set these DTCs. Action Taken When the DTCs Set The OnStar(R) status LED turns red. No calls can be placed. The VCIM will ignore all inputs from the OnStar® button assembly. Conditions for Clearing the DTCs The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. Page 8699 Caution: Make sure brake pipes are correctly connected to brake pressure modulator valve.

This vehicle's PMM is the body control module (BCM). The PMM controls which power mode (Run, Accessory, Crank, Retained Accessory Power, or Off) is active. Serial Data Power Mode Master On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the power mode master (PMM). On this vehicle, the PMM is the body control module (BCM). The PMM receives 3 discrete ignition switch signals to differentiate which power mode will be sent over the Serial Data circuits. The 3-wire Ignition Switch table illustrates the state of these inputs in correspondence to the ignition switch position. Relay Controlled Power Mode The body control module (BCM) uses the discrete ignition switch inputs Off/Run/Crank, Accessory, and ignition 1, to distinguish the correct power mode. The ignition 1 circuit is also routed to the Run/Crank relay for relay controlled power feeds during the appropriate power mode. The BCM, after determining the desired power mode, will activate the appropriate relays for that power mode. Run/Crank Relay The run/crank relay control circuit is connected to a constant ground and is switched by the ignition 1 circuit or the BCM. The BCM, will in lieu of the ignition switch position, activate the Run/Crank relay during a remote start event. The Run/Crank relay supplies a power signal to the following circuits, when the a Run or Crank power mode is selected: Automatic transmission shift indicator - Automatic transmission (A/T) - Switched power feeds to the BCM - Electronic brake control module (EBCM) - Electronic ignition module (spark control) - Electronic power steering module (EPS) - Fuel injectors - Powertrain control module (PCM) - Park neutral position (PNP) switch Accessory (ACC) Relay The adaptive cruise control (ACC) relay is energized when the Run or accessory power mode has been selected. The relay uses a Hot At All Times B+ power source derived from the underhood electrical center. The ACC relay is also energized by the BCM to supply power during the retained accessory power (RAP) mode. The following devices are controlled by this relay: Inside rearview mirror - Heated seats - Power windows - Sunroof - Wiper washers switch Fail-Safe Operation Since the operation of the vehicle systems depends on the power mode, there is a fail-safe plan in place should the power mode master (PMM) fail to send a power mode message. The fail-safe plan covers those modules, using exclusively serial data control of power mode, as well as those modules with discrete ignition signal inputs. Serial Data Messages The modules that depend exclusively on serial data messages for power modes. stay in the state dictated by the last valid PMM message until they can check for the engine run flag status on the serial data circuits. If the PMM fails, the modules monitor the serial data circuit for the engine run flag Page 1927 Page 2949 10. Align the inscribed mark on the tire with the valve stem on the wheel. 11.

GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 4210 Page 8069 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 12107 Page 1093 Page 14002 Installation Procedure 1.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 9933 Page 2101 6. Turn the cylinder (9) so that the side with 3 tumbler spring wells faces up. 7.

In case of contact, take the following actions: ^ Eye contact-rinse thoroughly with water. ^ Skin contact-wash with soap and water. ^ If ingested-consult a physician immediately. Caution: Use only Delco Supreme II, GM P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT 3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed container. Do not use fluid from an open container that may be contaminated with water. Improper or contaminated fluid could result in damage to components, or loss of braking, with possible injury. Notice: When filling the master cylinder, use only Delco Supreme II, GM P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT 3 brake fluid. Do not use a container which has been used for petroleum based fluids, or a container which is wet with water. Petroleum based fluids will cause swelling and distortion of rubber parts in the hydraulic brake system, and water will mix with brake fluid, lowering the boiling point. Keep all fluid containers capped to prevent contamination. Notice: Brake fluid will damage electrical connections and painted surfaces. Use shop cloths, suitable containers, and fender covers to prevent brake fluid from contacting these areas. Always re-seal and wipe off brake fluid containers to prevent spills. Notice: Avoid spilling brake fluid on any of the vehicle's painted surfaces, wiring, cables or electrical connectors. Brake fluid will damage paint and electrical connections. If any fluid is spilled on the vehicle, immediately flush the area with water to minimize the potential for damage. Notice: Power steering fluid, engine oil, brake fluid, or any mineral based fluids cannot be mixed. If brake seals contact power steering fluid or steering seals contact brake fluid, seal damage will result. Important: ^ Do not reuse the brake fluid collected during the hydraulic brake system bleeding. ^ Always store brake fluid in a closed container. ^ Reseal brake fluid containers immediately after use. ^ Do not use brake fluid left in an open container. ^ Do not use brake fluid left in an improperly sealed container. ^ Do not use the following fluids in the hydraulic brake system: ^ Power steering fluid ^ Automatic transmission fluid ^ DOT 5 silicone hydraulic brake fluid Page 8569 1. Thickness Variation Pulsation is Caused by Lateral Run Out (LRO). LRO on a brake corner assembly is virtually undetectable unless measured (with a dial indicator after the brake service) and will not be detected as brake pulsation during an after brake service test drive. If the brake corner is assembled with excessive LRO (greater than 0.050 mm (0.002 in), thickness variation will develop on the brake rotor over time and miles. Excessive LRO will cause the brake pads to wear the brake rotors unevenly, which causes rotor thickness variation. Pulsation that is the result of excessive Lateral Run Out usually develops in 4,800-16,000 km (3,000-10,000 mi). The more excessive the LRO, the faster the pulsation will develop. LRO can also be induced when uneven torque is applied to wheel nuts (lug nuts). Improper wheel tightening after tire rotation, spare tire usage, brake inspection, etc. can be the cause of brake pulsation. Again, it usually takes 4,800-16,000 km (3,000-10,000 mi) AFTER the service event for the condition to develop. The customer does not usually make the connection between the service event and the awareness of the pulsation. The proper usage of torque wrenches and/or torque sticks (torque limiting sockets) will greatly reduce or eliminate the pulsation conditions after wheel service events. The improper use of impact wrenches on wheel nuts greatly increases the likelihood of pulsation after wheel service. The following are examples of pulsation conditions and reimbursement recommendations: - If the customer noticed the condition between 4,800-16,000 km (3,000-10,000 mi) and it gradually got worse, normally the repair would be covered. The customer may tolerate the condition until it becomes very apparent. - If a GM dealer performed a prior brake service, consider paying for the repair and then strongly reinforce proper brake lathe maintenance. - If the customer had the brake service done outside of a GM dealership, normally GM would not offer any assistance. - If a customer indicated they had wheel service, ask who performed the service. Then; - If a GM dealer performed the service, consider paying for the repair and then strongly reinforce the use of torque sticks at the dealer. Two common size torque sticks cover 90% of all GM products. Each technician needs to use torque sticks properly every time the wheel nuts are tightened. - If the customer had the wheel service done outside of a GM dealership, normally GM would not offer any assistance. 2. Thickness Variation Pulsation Caused by Brake Rotor Corrosion - Rotor corrosion is another form of thickness variation, which can cause a pulsation concern and can be addressed as follows: - Cosmetic Corrosion: In most instances rotor corrosion is cosmetic and refinishing the rotor is unnecessary. - Corrosion - Pulsation Caused by Thickness Variation (Lot Rot / Low Miles - 0-321 km (0-200 mi): At times more extensive corrosion can cause pulsation due to thickness variation. This usually happens when the vehicle is parked for long periods of time in humid type conditions and the braking surface area under the pads corrodes at a different rate compared to the rest of the braking surface area. Cleaning up of braking surfaces (burnishing) can be accomplished by 10 - 15 moderate stops from 56- 64 km/h (35 - 40 mph) with cooling time between stops. If multiple moderate braking stops do not correct this condition, follow the "Brake Rotor Clean-Up Procedure" below. - Corrosion - Pulsation Caused by Thickness Variation (without rotor flaking / higher mileage 3,200-8,000 km (2,000-5,000 mi): In some cases, more extensive corrosion that is not cleaned up by the brake pad over time and miles can cause the same type of pulsation complaint due to thickness variation. In these cases, the rotor surface is usually darker instead of shiny and a brake pad foot print can be seen against the darker surface. This darker surface is usually due to build-up, on the rotor material surface, caused by a combination of corrosion, pad material and heat. To correct this condition, follow the "Brake Rotor Clean-up Procedure" below. - Corrosion - Pulsation Caused by Thickness Variation (with rotor flaking / higher mileage - 8,000 + km (5,000 + miles) : At times, more extensive corrosion over time and miles can cause pulsation due to thickness variation (flaking). This flaking is usually a build up, mostly on the rotor material surface, caused by a combination of corrosion, pad material and heat. When rotor measurements are taken, the low areas are usually close to the original rotor thickness (new rotor) measurement and the high areas usually measure more than the original rotor thickness (new rotor) measurement (depending on mileage and normal wear). To correct this condition, follow the "Brake Rotor Clean-up Procedure" described below. Important In some flaking instances, cleaning-up this type of corrosion may require more rotor material to be removed then desired. Customer consideration should be taken in these situations and handled on a case by case basis, depending on the amount/percentage of rotor life remaining and the vehicle's warranty time and miles. Brake Rotor Clean-Up Procedure Page 4349 Page 4879 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 6248 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown. Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp.

Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types of circuit breakers are used. 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.

Repeat this procedure for the other locking tab. 4. Once the front 2 locks are unlocked, lift the front of the dress cover and pull it forward. Page 792 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Verify that circuit is complete and working satisfactorily. 10. Perform system check. Page 1745 2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece. The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such. 3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover removal procedures may vary. 6. Use fingers to squeeze the 2 locking legs of the cover. Page 5839 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 4328 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 8597 16. Lower the vehicle. 17. Check the rear alignment. Page 808 Page 11901 2.

Note During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike caused by the following: ^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system. ^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload. OnStar(R) System States of Readiness The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF. ^ High power ^ Low power ^ Sleep ^ Digital standby The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or when the system is performing a remote function. The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or RUN position, or with RAP enabled. The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions. If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby) based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again received. If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the following: ^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate ^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason. ^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded. Page 5296 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 7429 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 10826 Page 3987 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 4194 Steps 8 - 14 Page 12151 4.2.

The SIR system has been divided into Disabling and Enabling Zones. When performing service on or near SIR components or SIR wiring, it may be necessary to disable the SIR components in that zone. It may be necessary to disable more than one zone depending on the location of other SIR components and the area being serviced, refer to SIR Zone Identification Views. Refer to the illustration, to identify the specific zone or zones in which service will be performed. After identifying the zone or zones, proceed to the disabling and enabling procedures for that particular zone or zones. Page 1030 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 5316 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 4371 Locations Pedal Positioning Sensor: Locations Brake Pedal Position Sensor Page 7607 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 12304 For vehicles repaired under warranty use, the table.

This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2.

While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 9816 Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair SIR Disabling and Enabling Zone 3 SIR DISABLING AND ENABLING ZONE 3 DISABLING PROCEDURE 1.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 4807 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 5005 Fuel Pressure: Testing and Inspection Fuel System Diagnosis FUEL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The control module enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned ON. The control module will disable the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds unless the control module detects ignition reference pulses. The control module continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as ignition reference pulses are detected. The control module disables the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds if ignition reference pulses cease to be detected and the ignition remains ON. The fuel system is a returnless on-demand design. The fuel pressure regulator is a part of the fuel sender assembly, eliminating the need for a return pipe from the engine. A returnless fuel system reduces the internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the engine to the fuel tank. Reducing the internal temperature of the fuel tank results in lower evaporative emissions. The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel sender assembly inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel filter, contained in the fuel sender assembly, and the fuel feed pipe to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow than is needed by the fuel injection system. The fuel pump also supplies fuel to a venturi pump located on the bottom of the fuel sender assembly. The function of the venturi pump is to fill the fuel sender assembly reservoir. The fuel pressure regulator, a part of the fuel sender assembly, maintains the correct fuel pressure to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump and sender assembly contains a reverse flow check valve. The check valve and the fuel pressure regulator maintain fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long cracking times. TEST Page 496 12.2.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-05-22-009B (Section 05 - Brakes). Condition Some customers may comment that intermittently the brake lights do not function correctly. Other symptoms may include extended pedal travel required to shift out of PARK, cruise control does not function correctly, and DTC C0131, C0161 and/or C0277 may be set. Cause The most likely cause of this condition is high resistance due to terminal fretting corrosion in the body control module (BCM) C2 or X2 connector (specifically pins 18, 31 and 59). Correction DO NOT replace the BCM for this condition. Disconnecting the C2 or X2 connector, adding dielectric lubricant and reconnecting the connector per the procedure below will correct the high resistance condition due to terminal fretting corrosion. 1. Remove the right side front floor console side trim panel to access to the Body Control Module (BCM). 2. Locate the C2 or X2 connector on the BCM. 3. Unlatch the connector and disconnect the connector from the BCM. 4. Apply dielectric lubricant (clear gel), GM P/N 12377900 (in Canada, use P/N 10953529) or equivalent, on all the connector pins (apply with a one-inch nylon bristle brush). This will treat the pins against fretting corrosion. 5. Reconnect the connector back on the BCM and re-latch. Wipe away any excess lubricant. 6. Reinstall the right side front floor console side trim panel. 7. Using the Tech 2(R), check that the BPPS ratio is equal to BPPS learned home when the brake pedal is not depressed. - If they are equal, the brake lamps should be operating correctly and no further steps are necessary. - If they are not equal, perform the Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration procedure in SI to complete the repair. 8.

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.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-08-64-020B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment on a creak or squeak noise when opening or closing one or more doors. Cause This condition may be caused by the door check link spring saddle. Correction Important: To prevent overspray from landing on the door glass, make sure all windows are rolled up before applying the lubricant to the check link. Slide the check link grommet back and spray GM Lubriplate(R) Lubricant, P/N 89021668 (in Canada, use P/N 89021674), or equivalent, on the check link saddle using a "straw" type nozzle extension. The nozzle extension should be inserted slightly into the opening above the check link arm and sprayed toward the outside of the door. If the nozzle is inserted too far into the door, it will go past the check link spring saddle and the lubricant will miss its target. Move the nozzle back and forth while spraying to distribute the lubricant. Open and shut the door until the noise is gone. Reinstall the check link grommet in the door.

Tyco/AMP Connectors (CM 42-Way) TYCO/AMP CONNECTORS (CM 42-WAY) TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1. Locate the connector position assurance (CPA) on the connector body and pull the CPA out. The CPA is on the wire harness side of connector. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 5601 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 2366 Assistance for all GM fleet customers using GM STC products and services is provided on the Internet via www.gmcommontraining.com using the "Contact Us" button on the site and/or the GM Common Training Help Desk at 1-888-748-2687.

Warranty Information Page 8374 Shift Effort Shift effort will vary among different style transmissions and synchronizer designs. Usually the more heavy duty the transmission, the higher the shift effort because of the increased mass of the components. Shift effort can also be higher in cold weather because the fluid will be thicker. Medium duty transmissions will not shift as quickly as a Corvette transmission. To reduce shift effort, do not attempt to rush the shift - allow the synchronizers to work as designed. Shifting harder will only increase the chance of rushing past the synchronizer leading to grinding while shifting. Non-Synchronized Gears Some light duty truck transmissions in 1st gear (creeper-gear) and reverse gears in various transmissions, along with all gears in some medium duty transmissions, may be non-synchronized. This means there is not a mechanism to match input and output shaft speeds to allow for a smooth shift. This function is left up to the driver. This can be noticed if a shift into 1st or reverse is attempted while the vehicle is rolling or before the input shaft stops rotating leading to a gear grind. The grinding can be reduced by coming to a complete stop and pausing for a moment before shifting into the 1st or reverse gear. Some slight grinding can be expected. In medium duty non-synchronized transmissions, the driver must match input shaft (engine) speed to output shaft (driveshaft) speed with every shift. This can be accomplished by double clutching, or by using other methods. If the driver is not able to perform this function properly, there will be gear grinding with each improperly completed shift. Driver training may be required to correct this condition. Clutch brakes are used in medium duty non-synchronized transmissions to allow a shift into gear at a stop. The clutch brake is used to stop the input shaft from spinning, allowing a shift into gear at a stop without grinding. The clutch brake is activated by pressing the clutch pedal all the way to the floor. When the clutch brake is used, it is possible to have a blocked shift with the vehicle stationary. If this occurs, engage the clutch slightly to rotate the input gear to allow the shift. The clutch brake is intended to only be used while at a stop. Care must be taken to not activate the clutch brake while shifting between gears. This could lead to excessive grinding or a blocked or missed shift. Skip Shift Currently, the Cadillac CTS-V, Pontiac GTO, Chevrolet Corvette and Camaro SS (other models may follow) equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission have a feature referred to as a "skip-shift." This feature only allows a shift from 1st to 4th gear when the indicator lamp is illuminated on the dash. Dealers cannot disable this feature as it was established to help meet fuel economy standards. The conditions for this feature are: engine coolant at normal operating temperature, vehicle speed of 24-31 km/h (15-19 mph), 21% or less throttle being used (refer to Service Information or the Owner Manual for more details.)

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.

A review of warranty repair orders and parts returned to GM for analysis suggests that EVAP canisters are being damaged when the vehicle is being put up on a hoist for service. Incorrect placement of the hoist pads may cause a crack/leak in the EVAP canister plastic and eventually set one or both of the following DTCs: - DTC P0442 - small EVAP leak detected - DTC P0455 - large EVAP leak detected To avoid this situation, particularly when using the type of hoist where the arms swing in and the pick up pads swivel, be sure of the placement of the pick up pads. If the pick up pads are not positioned correctly to the underbody pick up areas, this type of damage may occur.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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 Page 8686 32.

Do not use hand tools or tire irons alone in order to remove the tire from the wheel. Damage to the tire beads or the wheel rim could result. Notice: Do not scratch or damage the clear coating on aluminum wheels with the tire changing equipment. Scratching the clear coating could cause the aluminum wheel to corrode and the clear coating to peel from the wheel. Notice: 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. Deflate the tire completely. Important: Rim-clamp European-type tire changers are recommended. 2. Use the tire changer in order to remove the tire from the wheel. 3. Use a wire brush or coarse steel wool in order to remove any rubber, light rust or corrosion from the wheel bead seats. Notice: 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. 4. Apply an approved Lubricant to the tire bead and the wheel rim. 5. Use the tire changer in order to install the tire to the wheel. Caution: To avoid serious personal injury, do not stand over tire when inflating. The bead may break when the bead snaps over the safety hump. Do not exceed 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure when inflating any tire if beads are not seated. If 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure will not seat the beads, deflate, relubricate the beads and reinflate. Overinflation may cause the bead to break and cause serious personal injury. 6. Inflate the tire to the proper air pressure. 7. 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. Locations Right Front of the Engine Compartment Page 7450 Conversion - English/Metric Part 2 Diagnostic Work Sheets DIAGNOSTIC WORK SHEETS The GM Diagnostic Worksheet has been designed to improve communications between the service customer and the technician.

Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 12663 Page 2042 3.

General Information 1. The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear, or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have a no power/no communication condition. 2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com. 3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle. Note: If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module. 4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original analog production or digital upgrade. 5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required for a new module replacement. Do not discard. 6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. Specifications Brake Bleeding: Specifications Brake Caliper Bleeder Valve-Front ....................................................................................................................................................... 11 Nm (97 inch lbs.)

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. Page 12374 Page 6928 1.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in: Service Engine Soon (SES) light on Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s) Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur. When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the concern. The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty. If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs. Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not considered to be warrantable repair items. Page 1121 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 8238 Page 1830 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 2375 Page 4331 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 13353 Steps 13-17 Diagram Information and Instructions Crankshaft Position Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions Passenger Car Zoning PASSENGER CAR ZONING All grounds, in-line connectors, pass-through grommets, and splices have identifying numbers that correspond to where they are located in the vehicle.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 3304 - 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.

Route the deployment harness out of the driver side of the vehicle. 34. Disconnect the left/driver roof rail module yellow harness connector (2). 35. Cut the harness connector out of the vehicle, leaving at least 16 cm (6 in) of wire at the connector. 36. Strip 13 mm (0.5 in) of insulation from each of the connector wire leads. Page 5297 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 10002 Second Design - Black Painted (DO NOT Lube) Hydraulic Assist Power Steering First Design - Bare Steel Tube (Lube OK) Second Design - Black Painted (DO NOT Lube) In the unlikely event that the source of the noise is identified as a second design shaft with black painted tube, it must be replaced.

This new primer comes in several different colors from five different suppliers. This change affects the cleaning process of the painting operation. The new process is as follows. 1. Wash with soap and water. 2. Clean with a 50% mix of isopropyl alcohol and water (or a waterborne cleaner). Check with your paint supplier for product recommendations. 3. Scuff sand per your paint suppliers recommendations. Note: The use of a solvent-type cleaner will soften, or begin to dissolve the primer. Base coats do not have any affect on this primer. 4. Reclean with a 50% mix of isopropyl alcohol and water (or a waterborne cleaner). All fascias, with the exception of the Corvette, Camaro, and Cadillac XLR, are made of TPO. You may find other TPO parts with this primer. If the technician has a question as to the type of plastic they are painting, inspect the back of the part for the plastic symbol (TPO). Disclaimer Page 4984 Page 7193 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 5462 English Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development ENGLISH PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Thread Inserts THREAD INSERTS General purpose thread repair kits.

The SIS is not part of the deployment loop, but instead provides an input to the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The SDM contains a microprocessor that performs calculations using the measured accelerations and compares these calculations to a value stored in memory. When the generated calculations exceed the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the deployment loops deploying the side and the roof rail air bags. Page 8626 3.

Injector Cleaning Procedure Notice GM UPPER ENGINE AND FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER is the only injector cleaning agent recommended. DO NOT USE OTHER CLEANING AGENTS AS THEY MAY CONTAIN METHANOL, WHICH CAN DAMAGE FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS. Under NO circumstances should the GM Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner be added to the vehicle fuel tank. Do not exceed the recommended cleaning solution concentration. Testing has demonstrated that exceeding the recommended cleaning solution concentration does not improve the effectiveness of this procedure. Important Vehicles with less than 160 km (100 mi) on the odometer should not have the injectors cleaned. These vehicles should have any out of specification injectors replaced. 1. For 4, 5 and 6 cylinder engines, empty two of the 30 ml (1 oz) reservoirs of the GM Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner container into the J 35800-A - Injector Cleaning Tank then add 420 ml (14 oz) of regular unleaded gasoline. If you are using any other brand of cleaning tank, you will need a total of 60 ml (2 oz) mixed with 420 ml (14 oz) of regular unleaded gasoline. 2. For 8 cylinder engines, empty two of the 30 ml (1 oz) reservoirs of the GM Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner container into the J 35800-A Injector Cleaning Tank then add 420 ml (14 oz) of regular unleaded gasoline. If you are using any other brand of cleaning tank, you will need a total of 60 ml (2 oz) of Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner mixed with 420 ml (14 oz) of regular unleaded gasoline. This procedure will need to be repeated for a second time for an 8 cylinder engine (8 cylinder engines receive 960 ml total fluid 120 ml (4 oz) of Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner and 840 ml (28 oz) of gasoline. 3. Be sure to follow all additional instructions provided with the tool. 4. Electrically disable the vehicle fuel pump by either removing the fuel pump fuse or the fuel pump relay and disconnecting the oil pressure switch connector, if equipped. Page 12790 A current DTC clears when the condition for setting the DTC is no longer present. A history DTC clears after 50 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 8395 5. Remove the transaxle range switch bolts and remove the switch. Installation Procedure (Old Switch) 1. Make sure the transaxle manual shaft is in the Neutral position. 2. Align the flats on the transaxle shift shaft with the flats on the transaxle range switch and install the switch. 3. Loosely install the transaxle range switch bolts. 4. Insert the J 41545 as shown and rotate the switch until the tool drops onto position. Notice: Tighten the transaxle range switch bolts. Page 4734 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 10748 9. Cut two 6.1 m (20 ft) deployment wires from a 0.8 mm (18 gage) or thicker multi-strand wire. Use these wires to fabricate the driver deployment harness. 10. Strip 13 mm (0.5 in) of insulation from both ends of the wires cut in the previous step. 11. Twist together one end from each of the wires in order to short the wires. Deployment wires shall remain shorted, and not connected to a power source until you are ready to deploy the inflator module. 12. Twist together two connector wire leads (the high circuits from both stages of the steering wheel module) to one sets of deployment wires. Refer to SIR Connector End Views in order to determine the correct circuits. 13. Inspect that the 3 wire connection is secure. 14. Bend flat the twisted connection. 15. Secure and insulate the 3 wire connection to deployment harness using electrical tape. 16. Twist together two connector wire leads (the low circuits from both stages of the steering wheel module) to one sets of deployment wires. Refer to SIR Connector End Views in order to determine the correct circuits. Page 8397 1. Make sure the transaxle manual shaft is in the Neutral position. 2.

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

The control module energizes the high-impedance, 12 ohms, injector solenoid (4) to open a normally closed ball valve (1). This allows fuel to flow into the top of the injector, past the ball valve, and through a director plate (3) at the injector outlet. The director plate has machined holes that control the fuel flow, generating a spray of finely atomized fuel at the injector tip (2). Fuel from the injector tip is directed at the intake valve, causing the fuel to become further atomized and vaporized before entering the combustion chamber. This fine atomization improves fuel economy and emissions. The fuel pressure regulator compensates for engine load by increasing fuel pressure as the engine vacuum drops. Page 8458 5.

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 11384 Alarm Module: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 3801 Radiator Cooling Fan Motor Relay: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual.

Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 6269 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 7527 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 1 Page 7345 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 9512 Multiple Junction Connector: Diagrams C300 - C399 C300 Body Harness to Drivers Seat Harness Page 2513 Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure FUEL PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE CAUTION: Refer to Battery Disconnect Caution in Service Precautions. 1.

Attach the Wheel Alignment Repair Order Questionnaire below along with the print-out of "Before" and "After" wheel alignment measurements to the Repair Order and retain for use by GM. Wheel Alignment Equipment and Process Wheel alignments must be performed with a quality machine that will give accurate results when performing checks. "External Reference" (image-based camera technology) is preferred. Please refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-00-89-029B: General Motors Dealership Critical Equipment Requirements and Recommendations. Requirements: - Computerized four wheel alignment system. - Computer capable of printing before and after alignment reports. - Computer capable of time and date stamp printout. - Racking system must have jacking capability - Racking system must be capable of level to 1.6 mm (1/16 in) - Appropriate wheel stops and safety certification - Built-in turn plates and slip plates - Wheel clamps capable of attaching to 20" or larger wheels - Racking capable of accepting any GM passenger car or light duty truck - Operator properly trained and ASE-certified (U.S. only) in wheel alignment Recommendations: Racking should have front and rear jacking capability. Equipment Maintenance and Calibration: Alignment machines must be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information. Most manufacturers recommend the following: - Alignment machines with "internal reference" sensors should be checked (and calibrated, if necessary) every six months. - Alignment machines with "external reference" (image-based camera technology) should be checked (and calibrated, if necessary) once a year. - Racks must be kept level to within 1.6 mm (1/16 in). - If any instrument that is part of the alignment machine is dropped or damaged in some way, check the calibration immediately. Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended service/calibration schedule. Wheel Alignment Process When performing wheel alignment measurement and/or adjustment, the following steps should be taken: Preliminary Steps: 1. Verify that the vehicle has a full tank of fuel (compensate as necessary). 2. Inspect the wheels and the tires for damage. 3. Inspect the tires for the proper inflation and irregular tire wear. 4. Inspect the wheel bearings for excessive play. 5. Inspect all suspension and steering parts for looseness, wear, or damage. 6. Inspect the steering wheel for excessive drag or poor return due to stiff or rusted linkage or suspension components. 7. Inspect the vehicle trim height. 8. Compensate for frame angle on targeted vehicles (refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI). Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide range of alignment angles. However, if the wheel alignment angles are not within the range of specifications, adjust the wheel alignment to the specifications. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications in SI. Give consideration to excess loads, such as tool boxes, sample cases, etc. Follow the wheel alignment equipment manufacturer's instructions. Measure/Adjust: Important Prior to making any adjustments to wheel alignment on a vehicle, technicians must verify that the wheel alignment specifications loaded into their wheel alignment machine are up-to-date by comparing these to the wheel alignment specifications for the appropriate model and model year in SI. Using incorrect and/or outdated specifications may result in unnecessary adjustments, irregular and/or premature tire wear and repeat customer concerns Page 3321 Oil Pan: Service and Repair Oil Pan Replacement Removal Procedure 1.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 4853 Page 8987 3.

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.

M04-05, 4D: Removing the OnStar® control modules and securing the wiring: Page 12773 2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules. Part 1 OnStar(R) Description and Operation This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components: ^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) ^ OnStar(R) button assembly ^ Microphone ^ Cellular antenna ^ Navigation antenna Note This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system. Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging. Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the serial data bus. The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R) system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand. The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request. OnStar(R) Button Assembly The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit. The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as follows: ^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer and end calls or initiate speech recognition. ^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to connect to the OnStar(R) call center. ^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed. The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit. When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed. The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will flash red during the call. If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the account status. Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly. Page 6091 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 2114 Page 10830 Inflatable Restraint Sensing And Diagnostic Module (SDM) (With RPO Code AK5) Part 2 Page 12429 10. Disconnect and remove the OnStar(R) jumper harness. Note: You will need to remove the short GPS cable from this jumper harness. 11. Untape the cell antenna coax from the body harness in the trunk. This will be necessary to provide adequate length to connect to the new VCIM. 12. Fasten three retainer clips (1) from the kit to the new bracket that is included in the kit, and position the VCIM to the bracket (2). 13. Install the three bolts from the kit. Tighten the bolts to 10 Nm (89 lb in). 14. Connect the new OnStar(R) jumper harness supplied in the kit to the VCIM (two white connectors on module). 15. Connect small GPS coax cable jumper harness supplied in the kit (end with blue plastic housing) to VCIM GPS connector. 16. Position the VCIM / bracket assembly to the studs. 17. Install the bracket nuts saved from the Removal Procedure above to the VCIM / bracket assembly mounting studs. Tighten the nuts to 4 Nm (35 lb in). 18. Connect the new OnStar(R) jumper harness to the body wiring harness (C410 connector). 19. Connect small coax cable jumper from VCIM to the OnStar(R) Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) antenna coaxial cable at the connector previously left in the vehicle (short jumper removed from old harness in step 5.10). 20. Connect the cellular coaxial cable previously left in vehicle to the OnStar(R) VCIM. 21. Verify that all harnesses are properly secured in vehicle. 6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. 1. Connect the Tech2(R) to the vehicle. Page 1592 Page 6463 Page 13743 3. Install the door trim fasteners. Tighten the fasteners to 8 N.m (70 lb in). 4.

REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 6019 Page 6002 Listed are Registered Trademarks ((R)) or Non-Registered Trademarks ((TM)) which may appear in this service data.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 7245 Page 1111 2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece. The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such. 3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose piece. 5.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 12658 1.

The rear tires will not cause lead. Torque Steer Description 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 is when the vehicle wants to lead or pull in the direction the driver previously turned the vehicle. Additionally, after turning in the opposite direction, the vehicle will want to lead or pull in that direction. Wander Description Wander is the undesired drifting or deviation of a vehicle to either side from a straight path with hand pressure on the steering wheel. Wander is a symptom of the vehicle's sensitivity to external disturbances, such as road crown and crosswind, and accentuated by poor on-center steering feel. Scrub Radius Description Ideally, the scrub radius is as small as possible. Normally, the SAI angle and the centerline of the tire and the wheel intersect below the road surface, causing a positive scrub radius. With struts, the SAI angle is much larger than the long arm/short arm type of suspension. This allows the SAI angle to intersect the camber angle above the road surface, forming a negative scrub radius. The smaller the scrub radius, the better the directional stability. Installing aftermarket wheels that have additional offset will dramatically increase the scrub radius. The newly installed wheels may cause the centerline of the tires to move further away from the spindle. This will increase the scrub radius. A large amount of scrub radius can cause severe shimmy after hitting a bump. Four-wheel drive vehicles with large tires use a steering damper to compensate for an increased scrub radius. Scrub radius is not directly measurable by the conventional methods. Scrub radius is projected geometrically by engineers during the design phase of the suspension. Page 7032 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 2119 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 817 Campaign - Unwanted Repeat Calls to OnStar(R) Technical Service Bulletin # 10037 Date: 100420 Campaign - Unwanted Repeat Calls to OnStar(R) CUSTOMER SATISFACTION Bulletin No.: 10037 Date: April 20, 2010 Subject: 10037 - Unwanted Repeat Calls to OnStar(R) Models: 2003 Buick LeSabre 2004-2006 Buick Rendezvous 2005 Buick LeSabre, Terraza 2005-2006 Buick LaCrosse/Allure 2006-2008 Buick Lucerne 2008 Buick LaCrosse/Allure 2008-2009 Buick Enclave 2003 Cadillac CTS 2004 Cadillac Escalade 2004-2005 Cadillac CTS-V, Deville 2005 Cadillac Escalade ESV, SRX 2005-2006 Cadillac STS 2005-2008 Cadillac CTS 2006-2008 Cadillac DTS 2007 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade EXT 2007-2008 Cadillac Escalade ESV 2008 Cadillac SRX, STS 2002 Chevrolet Impala 2003-2008 Chevrolet Suburban 2003-2009 Chevrolet Silverado 2004-2008 Chevrolet Impala 2005 Chevrolet Colorado, Corvette, Malibu 2005-2006 Chevrolet Uplander 2005-2008 Chevrolet Avalanche, Tahoe, TrailBlazer 2006 Chevrolet HHR, Monte Carlo 2006-2008 Chevrolet Equinox 2007-2008 Chevrolet Corvette 2008 Chevrolet HHR 2008-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt, Colorado, Malibu, Uplander 2003 GMC Envoy XL, Sierra, Yukon XL 2004-2008 GMC Yukon 2005-2009 GMC Sierra 2005-2008 GMC Yukon XL 2006-2008 GMC Envoy 2007 GMC Canyon 2007-2009 GMC Acadia 2006 HUMMER H2 2006-2008 HUMMER H3 2008 HUMMER H2 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette 2005 Montana SV6 2005-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix 2006 Pontiac G6, Vibe 2007 Pontiac Montana SV6 2007-2008 Pontiac Solstice 2008 Pontiac G6, Torrent 2008-2009 Pontiac G5, G8 2009 Pontiac G3, Montana SV6 2005-2007 Saturn ION 2006-2009Saturn VUE 2007-2008 Saturn AURA, OUTLOOK, SKY Equipped with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1) Page 1947 Mass Air Flow (MAF)/Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Page 6139 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 9645 Figure 1: Full Tread View - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear on the Shoulder/Adjacent/Center Ribs Figure 2: Tire Shoulder View Example 1 - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear on the Shoulder 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 Page 13400 6.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 7454 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 3162 Engine Block Heater: Service and Repair Coolant Heater Replacement Coolant Heater Replacement (L61) Removal Procedure 1.

Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker: This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is removed. Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker: This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2. Circuit Protection - Fuses CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES Page 3419 17.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 6285 Page 4122 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Body - Door Latches Freezes in Extreme Cold Rear Door Latch: Customer Interest Body - Door Latches Freezes in Extreme Cold Bulletin No.: 05-08-64-002B Date: April 03, 2006 TECHNICAL Subject: Door Latch Freezing in Cold Temperatures (Apply Super Lube) Models: 2005-2007 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2003-2006 HUMMER H2 2006 HUMMER H3 Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years.

GM Super Lube(R) has been found to be an ideal solution to resolve latch freezing. Correction 1. Verify that the striker properly engages the latch and that no obstructions are preventing the door from closing. Important: The latch and its backing plate have been removed on the above illustration to show the location for the lube. Page 4403 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 16 Accessory Delay Module: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 2747 2.

Install the CPA to the steering wheel module coil connector. Page 1811 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 6319 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 9420 Fuse: Locations Fuse Block - Rear Location View Page 8992 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 3675 4. Gently pull the cable and the terminal (2) out of the back of the connector. 5. Re-form the locking device if you are going to reuse the terminal (1). 6. To repair the terminal, refer to Terminal Repair. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. Slip the cable seal away from the terminal. 2. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 3. Slip a new cable seal onto the wire. 4. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 5. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 6. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. 7. Slide the cable seal toward the terminal. 8. Crimp the cable seal and the insulation. 9. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply grease to the connector. REINSTALLING TERMINAL 1. In order to reuse a terminal or lead assembly. Refer to Wiring Repairs . 2. Ensure that the cable seal is kept on the terminal side of the splice. 3.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 13423 6.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 1128 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Page 11635 9. Erase the diagnostic trouble codes. 10.

This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern.

Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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 Page 1867 5.

Connect the transaxle range switch electrical connectors. 9. Install the shift control cable to transaxle range switch lever and verify proper operation. 10. Install the shift control cable to transaxle range switch lever and verify proper operation. Installation Procedure (New Switch) Page 1498 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

Exposure may irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Work in a well ventilated area. In order to remove R-134a from the A/C system, use service equipment that is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J 2210 (R-134a recycling equipment). If an accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before continuing service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers. - For personal protection, goggles and gloves should be worn and a clean cloth wrapped around fittings, valves, and connections when doing work that includes opening the refrigerant system. If R-134a comes in contact with any part of the body severe frostbite and personal injury can result. The exposed area should be flushed immediately with cold water and prompt medical help should be obtained. NOTE: R-134a is the only approved refrigerant for use in this vehicle. The use of any other refrigerant may result in poor system performance or component failure. - To avoid system damage use only R-134a dedicated tools when servicing the A/C system. - Use only Polyalkylene Glycol Synthetic Refrigerant Oil (PAG) for internal circulation through the R-134a A/C system and only 525 viscosity mineral oil on fitting threads and O-rings. If lubricants other than those specified are used, compressor failure and/or fitting seizure may result. - R-12 refrigerant and R-134a refrigerant must never be mixed, even in the smallest of amounts, as they are incompatible with each other. If the refrigerants are mixed, compressor failure is likely to occur. Refer to the manufacturer instructions included with the service equipment before servicing. The J 43600 is a complete air conditioning service center for R-134a. The ACR 2000 recovers, recycles, evacuates and recharges A/C refrigerant quickly, accurately and automatically. The unit has a display screen that contains the function controls and displays prompts that will lead the technician through the recover, recycle, evacuate and recharge operations. R-134a is recovered into and charged out of an internal storage vessel. The ACR 2000 automatically replenishes this vessel from an external source tank in order to maintain a constant 5.45-6.82 kg (12-15 lbs) of A/C refrigerant. The ACR 2000 has a built in A/C refrigerant identifier that will test for contamination, prior to recovery and will notify the technician if there are foreign gases present in the A/C system. If foreign gases are present, the ACR 2000 will not recover the refrigerant from the A/C system. The ACR 2000 also features automatic air purge, single pass recycling and an automatic oil drain. Refer to the J 43600 ACR 2000 manual for operation and setup instruction. Always recharge the A/C System with the proper amount of R-134a. Refer to Refrigerant System Capacities for the correct amount. Page 8592 5.

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

Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with it, the DTC will only be reported once. The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them: Page 9291 For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the appropriate/closest labor operation depending upon the module/component connection that the dielectric lubricant was applied to refer to the table above.

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

Installation Procedure Page 11943 Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Description and Operation GARAGE DOOR OPENER DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The garage door opener is located in the overhead console. The valet switch provides battery voltage to the garage door opener. If battery voltage is lost due to a condition such as a dead battery, the garage door opener unit relies on the non-serviceable internal power backup supply. The unit is programmed using the customer's hand-held transmitters for the garage doors, electric entrance gates, or lighting and security systems. The garage door opener is rolling code capable. Rolling code is a system that allows the code that the customer's receiver receives from the garage door opener to change every time the garage door opener is used within operating range of the receiver. When the receiver and the garage door opener are initially programmed together, a code is established and a new code is created for every new transmission. The software in the receiver recognizes the garage door opener and accepts the new code. The garage door opener is compatible with most, but not all types and brands of transmitters. If a problem should occur with a compatibility conflict with a transmitter, call HomeLink(TM) at 1-800-355-3515. The garage door opener is a transmitter operating between 288-399 MHz. The power and range of the transmitter is limited to comply with laws governing the generation of radio frequency interference (RFI). The transmitter is programmed by the user to accept the signal generated by the user's transmitters, refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup and programming. The garage door opener has 3 buttons that may be programmed for individual transmitter/receiver combinations to control up to 3 garage door openers, security gates, and lighting systems. Each button represents a transmitter code section of the transmitter, which operates separately from any other button, and may be considered a separate transmitter. Operation consists of simply pressing a button to activate the corresponding transmitter. Battery voltage is provided to the garage door opener from the IGN SEN fuse in the instrument panel (I/P) fuse block. The garage door opener is grounded through G400. Inadvertent power is supplied from the body control module (BCM). Page 1633 Mass Air Flow (MAF)/Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Page 14058 5.

Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging. Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the serial data bus. The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R) system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand. The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request. OnStar(R) Button Assembly The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit. The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as follows: ^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer and end calls or initiate speech recognition. ^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to connect to the OnStar(R) call center. ^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed. The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit. When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed. The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will flash red during the call. If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the account status. Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly. Page 615 Page 11068 5. Install the RH door trim panel (2). 6.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Page 36 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 8107 1. Determine the size, the pitch, and the depth of the damaged thread. If necessary, adjust the stop collars on the cutting tool and tap to the required depth. CAUTION: Refer to Safety Glasses Caution in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Refer to the thread repair kit manufacturer's instructions regarding the size of the drill and tap to use. Avoid any buildup of chips. Back out the tap every few turns and remove the chips. 2. Drill out the damaged threads. Clean out any chips. 3. Lubricate the tap with light engine oil. Tap the hole. Clean the threads. 4. Thread the thread insert onto the mandrel of the installer. Engage the tang of the insert onto the end of the mandrel. 5. Lubricate the insert with light engine oil, except when installing in aluminum and install the insert. IMPORTANT: The insert should be flush to one turn below the surface. 6. If the tang of the insert does not break off when backing out the installer, break the tang off with a drift.

This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2.

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. Page 12160 2. Skip to the next step if the vehicle to be upgraded is not shown above. 3.

SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 13063 1.

If the engine run flag serial data is True, indicating that the engine is running, the modules fail-safe to RUN. In this state, the modules and their subsystems can support all operator requirements. If the engine run flag serial data is False, indicating that the engine is not running, the modules fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state, the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle. Discrete Ignition Signals Those modules that have discrete ignition signal inputs, also remain in the state dictated by the last valid PMM message received on the serial data circuits. They then check the state of their discrete ignition input to determine the current valid state. If the discrete ignition input is active, battery positive voltage, the modules will fail-safe to the RUN power mode. If the discrete ignition input is not active, open or 0 volts, the modules will fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state, the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle. BCM Wake-Up/Sleep States The body control module (BCM) is able to control or perform all of the BCM functions in the wake-up state. The BCM enters the sleep state when active control or monitoring of system functions has stopped, and the BCM has become idle again. The BCM must detect certain wake-up inputs before entering the wake-up state. The BCM monitors for these inputs during the sleep state, where the BCM is able to detect switch transitions that cause the BCM to wake-up when activated or deactivated. Multiple switch inputs are needed in order to sense both the insertion of the ignition key and the power mode requested. The BCM will enter a wake-up state, if any of the following wake-up inputs are detected: Activity on the serial data line - Detection of a battery disconnect and reconnect condition - Headlamps are ON. - Ignition is turned ON. - Key-in-ignition switch - Park lamps are ON. - RFA message The BCM will enter a sleep state when all of the following conditions exist: The ignition switch is OFF. - No activity exists on the serial data line. - No outputs are commanded. - No delay timers are actively counting. - No wake-up inputs are present. If all these conditions are met, the BCM will enter a low power or sleep condition. This condition indicates that the BCM, which is the power mode master (PMM) of the vehicle, has sent an OFF or OFF-ASLEEP message to the other systems on the serial data line. Page 13903 Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Service and Repair LATCH SWITCH REPLACEMENT - LIFTGATE REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

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

Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 1964 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 4946 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals.

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 1828 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 7526 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 6188 Page 10351 Wheel Nut Torque Sequence Page 7240 Page 6444 Page 10743 1. Install the inflatable restraint I/P module. 2. Install new bolts to the inflatable restraint I/P module. NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Use new bolts on the restraint module. Tighten the bolts to 10 N.m (89 lb in). 3. Install the wire harness connector to the inflatable restraint I/P module. 4. Install the I/P trim pad. 5. Enable the SIR system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling Zone 5 in Restraint Systems. 6. Deploy the old module before disposal. If the module was replaced under warranty, fully deploy and dispose of the module after the required retention period. Refer to Pretensioner Handling and Scrapping. Inflator Module Handling and Scrapping INFLATOR MODULE HANDLING AND SCRAPPING LIVE (UNDEPLOYED) INFLATOR MODULE CAUTION: Refer to SIR Inflator Module Handling and Storage Caution in Service Precautions. Use caution when handling or storing a live (undeployed) inflator module. An inflator module deployment produces a rapid generation of gas. This may cause the inflator module, or an object in front of the inflator module, to project through the air in the event of an unlikely deployment. DUAL STAGE INFLATOR MODULE Dual stage inflator modules have two deployment stages. If stage 1 was used to deploy a dual stage inflator module, stage 2 may still be active. Therefore, a deployed dual stage inflator module must be treated as an active module. If disposal of a deployed or undeployed dual stage module is required both deployment loops must be energized to deploy the air bag. SCRAPPING PROCEDURE During the course of a vehicles useful life, you may need to dispose of a live (undeployed) inflator module. Do not dispose of a live (undeployed) inflator module through normal disposal channels until the inflator module has been deployed. The following information covers the proper procedures for the disposing of a live (undeployed) inflator module. Do not deploy the inflator module in the following situations: After replacement of an inflator module under warranty. The inflator module may need to be returned undeployed to the manufacturer. - 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. Page 6515 Page 11387 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 5236 Service and Repair Steering Mounted Controls Amplifier: Service and Repair Steering Wheel Control Switch Assembly Replacement Removal Procedure Important: Release the steering wheel control wire harness from the retainers on the steering wheel shroud to provide slack in the harness. 1.

In case of contact, take the following actions: ^ Eye contact-rinse thoroughly with water. ^ Skin contact-wash with soap and water. ^ If ingested-consult a physician immediately. Caution: Use only Delco Supreme II, GM P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT 3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed container. Do not use fluid from an open container that may be contaminated with water. Improper or contaminated fluid could result in damage to components, or loss of braking, with possible injury. Notice: When filling the master cylinder, use only Delco Supreme II, GM P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT 3 brake fluid. Do not use a container which has been used for petroleum based fluids, or a container which is wet with water. Petroleum based fluids will cause swelling and distortion of rubber parts in the hydraulic brake system, and water will mix with brake fluid, lowering the boiling point. Keep all fluid containers capped to prevent contamination. Notice: Brake fluid will damage electrical connections and painted surfaces. Use shop cloths, suitable containers, and fender covers to prevent brake fluid from contacting these areas. Always re-seal and wipe off brake fluid containers to prevent spills. Notice: Avoid spilling brake fluid on any of the vehicle's painted surfaces, wiring, cables or electrical connectors. Brake fluid will damage paint and electrical connections. If any fluid is spilled on the vehicle, immediately flush the area with water to minimize the potential for damage. Notice: Power steering fluid, engine oil, brake fluid, or any mineral based fluids cannot be mixed. If brake seals contact power steering fluid or steering seals contact brake fluid, seal damage will result. Important: ^ Do not reuse the brake fluid collected during the hydraulic brake system bleeding. ^ Always store brake fluid in a closed container. ^ Reseal brake fluid containers immediately after use. ^ Do not use brake fluid left in an open container. ^ Do not use brake fluid left in an improperly sealed container. ^ Do not use the following fluids in the hydraulic brake system: ^ Power steering fluid ^ Automatic transmission fluid ^ DOT 5 silicone hydraulic brake fluid Page 3625 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 2967 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. †*We believe this source and their products to be reliable.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 10312 service operation. A simple distraction or time constraint that rushes the job may result in personal injury if the greatest of care is not exercised. Make it a habit to double check your work and to always side with caution when installing wheels. Disclaimer Page 1062 Page 8808 1.

The customer may describe this concern as a single click noise when they turn the key as it the engine is trying to start. The ignition key can be cycled to off and then cycled to start and the vehicle will start. There may not be any DTC's set during this condition. Cause During the cranking process, electrical noise in the system is enough to sometimes signal the PCM that the engine is running and the starter relay is disengaged. When the key is cycled OFF it will reset the PCM that the engine is not running and will allow the vehicle to crank. Correction Before reprogramming the PCM, verify the customer concern. Follow published diagnostics in SI. If no trouble is found, reprogram the PCM. A revised engine calibration has been developed to address this issue. Reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. This new service calibration is available on TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). As always, make sure your Tech 2(R) is updated with the latest software version. Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-00-90-002I (Section 00 - General Information). Important: ^ Adjustment of tire pressure for a customer with a Low Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) light on and no codes in the TPM system is NOT a warrantable repair. Claims to simply adjust the tire pressure will be rejected. ^ ALL tires (including the spare tire) MUST be set to the recommended inflation pressure stated on the vehicle's tire placard (on driver's door) during the PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION (PDI). Recommended inflation pressure is not the pressure printed on tire sidewall. ^ Tires may be over-inflated from the assembly plant due to the mounting process. ^ Generally a 5.6°C (10°F) temperature change will result in (is equivalent to) a 6.9 kPa (1 psi) tire pressure change. ^ 2008-2009 HUMMER H2 Only - The H2 comes standard with Light Truck "D" Load Range tires with a recommended cold inflation pressure of 289 kPa (42 psi). These tires will alert the driver to a low pressure situation at roughly 262 kPa (38 psi) due to a requirement in FMVSS 138 which specifies a Minimum Activation Pressure for each tire type. This creates a relatively narrow window of "usable" pressure values and the warning will be more sensitive to outside temperature changes during the colder months. As with other cold temperature/tire pressure issues, there is nothing wrong with the system itself. If a vehicle is brought in with this concern, check for tire damage and set all tires to the Recommended Cold Inflation Pressure shown on the vehicle placard. Accurate tire pressures ensure the safe handling and appropriate ride characteristics of GM cars and trucks. It is critical that the tire pressure be adjusted to the specifications on the vehicle¡C■s tire placard during PDI. Ride, handling and road noise concerns may be caused by improperly adjusted tire pressure. The first step in the diagnosis of these concerns is to verify that the tires are inflated to the correct pressures. The recommended tire inflation pressure is listed on the vehicle¡C■s tire placard. The tire placard is located on the driver¡C■s side front or rear door edge, center pillar, or the rear compartment lid. Tip ^ Generally a 5.6°C (10°F) temperature increase will result in (is equivalent to) a 6.9 kPa (1 psi) tire pressure increase. ^ The definition of a "cold" tire is one that has been sitting for at least 3 hours, or driven no more than 1.6 km (1 mi). ^ On extremely cold days, if the vehicle has been indoors, it may be necessary to compensate for the low external temperature by adding additional air to the tire during PDI. ^ During cold weather, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator light (a yellow horseshoe with an exclamation point) may illuminate. If this indicator turns off after the tires warm up (reach operating temperature), the tire pressure should be reset to placard pressure at the cold temperature. ^ The TPM system will work correctly with nitrogen in tires. ^ The TPM system is compatible with the GM Vehicle Care Tire Sealant but may not be with other commercially available sealants. Important: ^ Do not use the tire pressure indicated on the tire itself as a guide. Page 323 Parts Information Page 9612 Disclaimer Engine, A/T - Shift/Driveability Concerns/MIL ON Air Filter Element: Customer Interest Engine, A/T - Shift/Driveability Concerns/MIL ON Bulletin No.: 04-07-30-013B Date: February 01, 2007 INFORMATION Subject: Automatic Transmission Shift, Engine Driveability Concerns or Service Engine Soon (SES) Light On as a Result of the Use of an Excessively/Over-Oiled Aftermarket, Reusable Air Filter Models: 2007 and Prior GM Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2007 and Prior Saturn Models 2003-2007 HUMMER H2 2006-2007 HUMMER H3 2005-2007 Saab 9-7X Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in: Service Engine Soon (SES) light on Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s) Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur. When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the concern. The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty. If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs. Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not considered to be warrantable repair items. Page 4667 Listed are Registered Trademarks ((R)) or Non-Registered Trademarks ((TM)) which may appear in this service data.

Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.

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.

The vehicle must be upgraded to reactivate the account. The customer will hear a demo message stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services. ^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed. Note For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation. Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription. OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure, the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS. The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID (MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers. The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure, or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data. During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing. Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device identification, call routing and connection. They are: ^ A mobile identification number (MIN) ^ A mobile directory number (MDN) Note The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device. Diagnostic Information Symptoms - Cellular Communication The following steps must be completed before using the symptom table. 1. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle, before using the Symptom Tables in order to verify that the following are true: ^ There are no DTCs set. ^ The control modules can communicate via the serial data link. 2. Review the system operation in order to familiarize yourself with the system functions. Refer to Radio/Audio System Description and Operation in SI. Diagnostic Starting Point - Displays and Gages Begin the displays and gages system diagnosis with Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle or the audible warning system diagnosis with Diagnostic System Page 8750 7. Wipe off any excessive grease on the intermediate shaft to avoid damage from drips on the carpet. 8. Install the instrument panel insulator panel - left side. 9. Verify that the noise is no longer present. Condition 2 There may be interference between the clamp and the steering gear input shaft. The clamp is beveled and if forced down on the input shaft too hard, it may cause a loose fit with the intermediate shaft to input shaft joint. Correction 2 To correct this condition, perform the following steps: 1. Remove the intermediate shaft pinch bolt at the steering gear end. 2. Install a new bolt, GM P/N 07845238, but do not tighten the bolt at this time. 3. Pry the clamp up using a pry bar to position the bolt into the upper part of the groove as shown above. This will position the clamp off the bevel. 4. While keeping the clamp in the upper position, tighten the bolt. Tighten Tighten the bolt to 49 Nm (36 lb ft). 5. Verify that the clunk noise is no longer present. Condition 3 Important This condition ONLY applies to 2004-2007 Chevrolet Malibu/Maxx and 2005-2007 Pontiac G6. Some customers may comment on a knocking or rattling type noise from the front of the vehicle when driven at low speeds and over bumps. The noise only occurs when the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position and sounds like the noise is in the left suspension of the vehicle or directly in front of the driver. Correction 3 1. Ensure the noise is not caused by Condition # 1. 2. Determine the source of the noise. Install the chassis ears at the following locations: - sway bar link - one side at a time - upper strut mount - one side at a time - steering gear near the pinion area - base of the steering column housing - radiator surge tank 3. If the noise is coming from the upper strut mount or sway bar link, replace as necessary and retest. 4. For 2004-2006 Chevrolet and Pontiac model year vehicles, the noise may be coming from the radiator surge tank area. (The 2007 model year vehicles use a different style radiator surge tank - refer to Step 9.) 5. If the noise is coming from the radiator surge tank, release the two retaining tabs holding the radiator surge tank and reposition the tank away from the attaching bracket and isolate with closed cell foam. 6. Cut three pieces of closed cell foam, P/N P46515 (or equivalent), into 25 mm (1 in) by 102 mm (4 in) pieces. 7. Cut two pieces of closed cell foam into 25 mm (1 in) by 6 mm (1/4 in) pieces. Page 5832 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 3114 8. Ensure that the EXH triangle on the exhaust camshaft sprocket is aligned with the matching colored link (3). 9. Remove the timing chain tensioner. 10. Remove the fixed timing chain guide access plug. Page 2452 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.

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-03-10-006B (Section 03 - Suspension). Condition Some customers may comment on a tire that slowly loses air pressure over a period of days or weeks. Cause Abrasive elements in the environment may intrude between the tire and wheel at the bead seat. There is always some relative motion between the tire and wheel (when the vehicle is driven) and this motion may cause the abrasive particles to wear the wheel and tire materials. As the wear continues, there may also be intrusion at the tire/wheel interface by corrosive media from the environment. Eventually a path for air develops and a 'slow' leak may ensue. This corrosion may appear on the inboard or outboard bead seating surface of the wheel. This corrosion will not be visible until the tire is dismounted from the wheel. Notice This bulletin specifically addresses issues related to wheel bead seat corrosion that may result in an air leak. For issues related to porosity of the wheel casting that may result in an air leak, please refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-006F - Low Tire Pressure, Leaking Cast Aluminum Wheels (Repair with Adhesive Sealant) Correction In most cases, this type of air loss can be corrected by following the procedure below. Important DO NOT replace a wheel for slow air loss unless you have evaluated and/or tried to repair the wheel with the procedure below. Notice The repair is no longer advised or applicable for chromed aluminum wheels. 1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly for diagnosis. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in SI. 2. After a water dunk tank leak test, if you determine the source of the air leak to be around the bead seat of the wheel, dismount the tire to examine the bead seat. Shown below is a typical area of bead seat corrosion.Typical Location of Bead Seat Corrosion Page 9189 Note The rivet stud and surrounding panel area MUST BE properly refinished PRIOR to the installation of the electrical ground wire terminal and conductive nut to maintain a secure, stable and corrosion-free electrical ground. 11. Refinish the repair area using an anti-corrosion primer. Refer to Anti-Corrosion Treatment and Repair in SI. 12. Allow the refinished repair area to cure sufficiently before removing the protective material applied to the rivet stud threads. 13. Remove the painters tape or equivalent from the rivet stud threads. 14. Using GM approved residue-free solvent or equivalent, thoroughly clean the rivet stud threads to remove any adhesive and allow to dry. 15. 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. 16. Carefully remove ANY corrosion or contamination that may be present on the electrical ground wire terminal. 17. Install the electrical ground wire terminal to the M6 conductive rivet stud. 18. Select a M6 conductive nut. Refer to the Parts Information section of this bulletin. 19. Install the M6 conductive nut to the rivet stud and: Tighten Tighten to 8 Nm (71 lb in) 20.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5.

Remove the key from the ignition switch. Page 5426 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Drive Belt Chirping Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Chirping Drive Belt Chirping Diagnosis Diagnostic Aids The symptom may be intermittent due to moisture on the drive belt or the pulleys. It may be necessary to spray a small amount of water on the drive belt 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. A loose or improper installation of a body component, a suspension component, or other items of the vehicle may cause the chirping noise. Test Description Page 5315 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 12965 Vehicles Built with Upgradeable OnStar(R) System Analog Modules Note: Page 13387 Front Bumper Cover / Fascia: Service and Repair Fascia Support Replacement - Front Bumper Upper Fascia Support Replacement - Front Bumper Upper Removal Procedure 1.

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

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-64-002A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment on a door latch freezing due to ice accumulation in cold temperatures. Cause Water from a car wash or off the road may have entered the latch and frozen, causing the detent to move slowly. GM Super Lube(R) has been found to be an ideal solution to resolve latch freezing. Correction 1. Verify that the striker properly engages the latch and that no obstructions are preventing the door from closing. Important: The latch and its backing plate have been removed on the above illustration to show the location for the lube. 2. Allow the latch to completely thaw and apply compressed air for two seconds to the latch to force out any moisture. Refer to the above illustration (slashed area) for the location. Spray GM Super Lube(R) on BOTH sides of the latch detent lever for approximately two to three seconds. Refer to the above illustration (slashed area) for the lube location. Repeat for all door latches. Operate the door latch several times to spread the lubricant Page 13200 Page 6144 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 12888 Aluminum Wheel Porosity Repair Wheels: Service and Repair Aluminum Wheel Porosity Repair Aluminum Wheel Porosity Repair 1.

Tighten Tighten the screws to 2.5 N.m (22 lb in). 4. Install the I/P center trim panel. IMPORTANT: Do not adjust any controls on the HVAC control module while the HVAC control module is calibrating. If interrupted improper HVAC performance will result. Page 6662 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 11968 Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) C3 Page 9435 Body Control Module(BCM) - Top View Page 6063 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5.

Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 3116 16.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 622 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.

Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 861 Body Control Module: Removal and Replacement BODY CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 2.

See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning Page 6486 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to the 3-digit identification number is set. Page 5006 Steps 1 - 6 Page 6984 5.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-08-64-020B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment on a creak or squeak noise when opening or closing one or more doors. Cause This condition may be caused by the door check link spring saddle. Correction Important: To prevent overspray from landing on the door glass, make sure all windows are rolled up before applying the lubricant to the check link. Slide the check link grommet back and spray GM Lubriplate(R) Lubricant, P/N 89021668 (in Canada, use P/N 89021674), or equivalent, on the check link saddle using a "straw" type nozzle extension. The nozzle extension should be inserted slightly into the opening above the check link arm and sprayed toward the outside of the door. If the nozzle is inserted too far into the door, it will go past the check link spring saddle and the lubricant will miss its target. Move the nozzle back and forth while spraying to distribute the lubricant. Open and shut the door until the noise is gone. Reinstall the check link grommet in the door.

This coolant is orange in color and has a service interval of 5 years or 240,000 km (150,000 mi). However, when used on vehicles built prior to the introduction of DEX-COOL(R), maintenance intervals will remain the same as specified in the Owner's Manual. ^ If available, use the approved cooling system flush and fill machine (available through the GM Dealer Equipment Program) following the manufacturer's operating instructions. ^ If approved cooling system flush and fill machine is not available, drain the coolant and dispose of properly following the draining procedures in the appropriate Service Manual. Refill the system using clear, drinkable water and run the vehicle until the thermostat opens. Repeat and run the vehicle three (3) times to totally remove the old coolant or until the drained coolant is almost clear. Once the system is completely flushed, refill the cooling system to a 50%-60% concentration with DEX‐COOL(R), P/N 12346290 (in Canada, use P/N 10953464), GM specification 6277M, following the refill procedures in the appropriate Service Manual. If a Service Manual is not available, fill half the capacity of the system with 100% DEX-COOL(R), P/N 12346290 (in Canada, use P/N 10953464), GM specification 6277M. Then slowly add clear, drinkable water (preferably distilled) to the system until the level of the coolant mixture has reached the base of the radiator neck. Wait two (2) minutes and reverify the coolant level. If necessary, add clean water to restore the coolant to the appropriate level. Once the system is refilled, reverify the coolant concentration using a Refractometer J 23688 (Fahrenheit scale) or J 26568 (centigrade scale) coolant tester, or equivalent. The concentration levels should be between 50% and 65%. Flushing Procedures using Conventional Silicated (Green Colored) Coolant Important: 2004-2005 Chevrolet Aveo (Pontiac Wave, Canada Only) does not use DEX‐COOL(R). The Aveo and Wave are filled with conventional, silicated engine coolant that is blue in color. Silicated coolants are typically green in color and are required to be drained, flushed and refilled every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The Aveo and Wave are to be serviced with conventional, silicated coolant. Use P/N 12378560 (1 gal) (in Canada, use P/N 88862159 (1 L). Refer to the Owner's Manual or Service Information (SI) for further information on OEM coolant. Important: Do not mix the OEM orange colored DEX-COOL(R) coolant with green colored coolant when adding coolant to the system or when servicing the vehicle's cooling system. Mixing the orange and green colored coolants will produce a brown coolant which may be a customer dissatisfier and will not extend the service interval to that of DEX-COOL(R). Conventional silicated coolants offered by GM Service and Parts Operations are green in color. ^ If available, use the approved cooling system flush and fill machine (available through the GM Dealer Equipment Program) following the manufacturer's operating instructions. ^ If approved cooling systems flush and fill machine is not available, drain coolant and dispose of properly following the draining procedures in appropriate Service Manual. Refill the system using clear, drinkable water and run vehicle until thermostat opens. Repeat and run vehicle three (3) times to totally remove old coolant or until drained coolant is almost clear. Once the system is completely flushed, refill the cooling system to a 50%-60% concentration with a good quality ethylene glycol base engine coolant, P/N 12378560, 1 gal (in Canada, use P/N 88862159 1 L), conforming to GM specification 1825M, or recycled coolant conforming to GM specification 1825M, following the refill procedures in the appropriate Service Manual. If a Service Manual is not available, fill half the capacity of the system with 100% good quality ethylene glycol base (green colored) engine coolant, P/N 12378560 1 gal., (in Canada, use P/N 88862159 1 L) conforming to GM specification 1825M. Then slowly add clear, drinkable water (preferably distilled) to system until the level of the coolant mixture has reached the base of the radiator neck. Wait two (2) minutes and recheck coolant level. If necessary, add clean water to restore coolant to the appropriate level. Once the system is refilled, recheck the coolant concentration using a Refractometer J 23688 (Fahrenheit scale) or J 26568 (centigrade scale) coolant tester, or equivalent. Concentration levels should be between 50% and 65%. Parts Information Warranty Information Page 3712 Page 8007 10. Remove the oil level control valve. 11.

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. Page 9540 C600 Body Harness to Right Front Door Harness Part 1 Page 10744 - If the vehicle is involved in a campaign affecting the inflator modules. Follow the instructions in the campaign service bulletin for proper SIR handling procedures. Deployment Outside Vehicle (Steering Wheel Module, I/P Module, and Roof Rail Module) DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE VEHICLE (STEERING WHEEL MODULE, I/P MODULE, AND ROOF RAIL MODULE) Deploy the inflator module outside of the vehicle when the vehicle will be returned to service, for seat belt pretensioner deployment outside the vehicle refer to Pretensioner Handling and Scrapping. Situations that require deployment outside of the vehicle include the following: - Using the SIR diagnostics, determine that the inflator module is malfunctioning. - The inflator module is cosmetically damaged, scratched or ripped. - The inflator module pigtail (if equipped) is damaged. - The inflator module connector is damaged. - The inflator module connector terminals are damaged. Deployment and disposal of a malfunctioning inflator module is subject to any required retention period. CAUTION: Refer to SIR Inflator Module Disposal Caution in Service Precautions. Tools Required J 38826 SIR Deployment Harness - J 39401-B SIR Deployment Fixture - J 38826-25 Roof rail module adapter - J 38826-75 Steering wheel module adapter (dual stage air bags) - J 38826-80 I/P module adapter (dual stage air bags) 1. Turn OFF the ignition. 2. Remove the ignition key. 3. Put on safety glasses. 4. Remove the inflator module. 5. Place the inflator module with the vinyl trim cover facing up and away from the surface on a work bench. 6. Clear a space on the ground about 1.85 m (6 ft) in diameter for deployment of the inflator module. If possible, use a paved, outdoor location free of activity. Otherwise, use a space free of activity on the shop floor. Make sure you have sufficient ventilation. 7. Make sure no loose or flammable objects are in the area. 8. When deploying the steering wheel module, place the steering wheel module in the center of the space. IMPORTANT: Dual stage deployments are only used in steering wheel and I/P inflator modules. If stage 1 was used to deploy a dual stage inflator module, stage 2 may still be active. If disposal of a deployed or undeployed dual stage module is required both deployment loops must be energized to deploy the air bag. Page 2072 Metric Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development METRIC PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Page 4881 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 12754 For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Disclaimer Page 6367 Page 8885 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3. Use the proper pick or removal tool (1) in order to release the terminal. Page 9376 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 13941 3. Lower the vehicle. Page 5575 Steps 9-13 The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. A partial loss or intermittent loss of communication in the class 2 serial data circuit uses a different procedure than a total loss of communication of the class 2 serial data circuit. 10. If there are no current DTCs that begin with the letter "U", the communication concern has been repaired. 11. The communication concern may have prevented diagnosis of the customer complaint. Scan Tool Does Not Communicate With High Speed GMLAN Device SCAN TOOL DOES NOT COMMUNICATE WITH HIGH SPEED GMLAN DEVICE Modules connected to the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits monitor for serial data communications on the high speed GMLAN network during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module detects a bus-off condition a DTC U0001 or U2100 will be set. These DTCs can be retrieved as history only. Diagnostic Aids The high speed GMLAN serial data buss uses two 120 ohms terminating resistors that are in parallel with the high speed GMLAN (+) and (-) circuits. One of the resistors is connected at the data link connector (DLC) end of the link and the other is at the engine management module, engine control module (ECM) or powertrain control module (PCM), end of the link. The DLC terminating resistor resides internally in the BCM. When testing for a short between high speed GMLAN (+) and (-) with the engine management module removed, a reading off 120 ohms is normal. However, to completely analyze the buss the body control module (BCM) should be temporally removed when testing for shorts between the high speed GMLAN (+) and (-) while also making sure that all modules and the scan tool are disconnected from the buss. A normal reading across the high speed GMLAN buss with the terminating resistor at the DLC remove and all module and scan tool disconnected is infinite ohms. Make certain to reconnect the BCM after testing, it is necessary for proper vehicle powermoding. The engine will not start when there is a total malfunction of the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits while the engine is not running. The following conditions may cause a total loss of high speed GMLAN data communication: A short between high speed GMLAN (+) and high speed GMLAN (-) circuits - Any of the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits shorted to ground or voltage - A module internal malfunction that causes a short to voltage or ground on the high speed GMLAN circuits Test Description Page 113 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 6831 Page 454 The module uses a default value for the missing parameter. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. Diagnostic Aids When multiple Loss of Communication DTCs are set concurrently, the cause is likely to be 2 opens in the ring portion of the class 2 serial data circuit. Use the Control Modules and Devices ‐ Description and Identification Number table in order to determine which modules are not communicating. Use the class 2 serial data circuit schematic in order to determine the location of the opens. Test Description Diagrams Page 4092 Prep the vehicle for PCM / ECM replacement.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 1006 Page 3236 The numbers below refer to the step number on the diagnostic table. 2. The noise may not be engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If the engine is not making the noise do not proceed further with this table. 3. The noise may be an internal engine noise. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine for a brief period will verify the noise is related to the drive belt. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed. 4. Inspect all drive belt pulleys for pilling. Pilling is the small balls or pills or it 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 misalign pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across 2 or 3 pulleys. If a misalign pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley. 10. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer was installed. 12. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is used to drive the pulley. 14. Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged or there is not excessive pilling will only be a temporary repair. Page 9083 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Locations Right Front of the Engine Compartment Page 11314 Service and Repair Trunk / Liftgate Lock Cylinder: Service and Repair Lock Cylinder Replacement - Rear Compartment Lid Removal Procedure 1.

Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Note During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike caused by the following: ^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system. ^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload. OnStar(R) System States of Readiness The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF. ^ High power ^ Low power ^ Sleep ^ Digital standby The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or when the system is performing a remote function. The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or RUN position, or with RAP enabled. The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions. If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby) based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again received. If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the following: ^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate ^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason. ^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded. Page 8918 PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening.

In two cases, these fuses have not provided protection for the wiring system of the vehicles they were customer installed in. Upon testing the 15 amp version, it was found that the fuse still would not "open" when shorted directly across the battery terminals. How to Identify These Fuses Packed in a 120 piece set, the fuse has a translucent, hard plastic, blue body with the amperage stamped into the top. There are no white painted numbers on the fuse to indicate amperage. There are no identifying marks on the fuse to tell who is making it. The fuses are known to be distributed by Harbor Freight Tools but there may be other marketers, and packaging of this style of fuse. It would be prudent to replace these fuses if found in a customers vehicle. Likewise, if wiring overheating is found you should check the fuse panel for the presence of this style of fuse. All GM dealers should use genuine GM fuses on the vehicles they service. You should also encourage the use of GM fuses to your customers to assure they are getting the required electrical system protection. GM has no knowledge of any concerns with other aftermarket fuses. If additional information becomes available, this bulletin will be updated. Disclaimer Page 1022 3.

Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 4718 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 5532 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 6877 Page 640 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 8506 2.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 11132 Disclaimer Page 4336 Conversion - English/Metric Part 1 Page 8535 3.

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. Page 12981 ^ I/O check Any faults detected during the initialization self-test shall generate a DTC. All nodes also continuously perform a self-test while in an active state. DTCs and their associated telltales will set as a result of unprogrammed or unlearned information. DTCs, which are defined for system configuration (e.g. Vehicle Option Content not programmed) do not support the history status bit (set =0). Warning indicator bit is also set, when applicable, while this DTC is present. Action Taken When the DTCs Sets The module suspends all message transmission. The module uses default values for all parameters received on the serial data circuits. The module inhibits the setting of all other communication DTCs. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction. Circuit/System Verification Refer to Data Link References to determine which serial data system is used for a specific module. The DTCs cannot be retrieved with a current status. Diagnosis is accomplished using the following symptom procedures: Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device in SI. OR Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Low Speed GMLAN Device in SI.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 7121 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown. Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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.

Registered and Non - Registered Trademarks REGISTERED AND NON-REGISTERED TRADEMARKS Page 55 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 1843 A/T - 4T65E Fluid Leaking From A/T Vent Channel Plate: Customer Interest A/T - 4T65E Fluid Leaking From A/T Vent TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 01-07-30-032E Date: September 29, 2008 Subject: Transmission Oil Leaking From Transmission Vent (Replace Transmission Case Cover (Channel Plate) Gasket) Models: 1997-2009 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) with Hydra-Matic 4T65-E Automatic Transmission (RPOs MN3, MN7, M15, M76) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008 and 2009 model years.

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. - Blower Control Module - Body Control Module (BCM) - Communication Interface Module (CIM) - Cooling Fan Control Module - Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) - Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module (EBTCM) - Electronic Suspension Control (ESC) Module - Engine Control Module (ECM) - Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Control Module Page 9378 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 5519 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 9683 Alignment: Specifications Wheel Alignment Specifications The content of this article reflects the changes identified in TSB 05-03-07-005. Wheel Alignment Specifications Page 7480 Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation IGNITION CONTROL MODULE (ICM) AND IGNITION COILS The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies a signal on each of the ignition control (IC) timing control circuits to the ignition control module (ICM). The ICM fires the correct ignition coil at the correct time based on the signals. The ICM detects if cylinder 1 or cylinder 3 is on the compression stroke by sensing the secondary voltage and polarity of each side of the ignition coil. The ICM detects this voltage with sensing circuitry integrated into each ignition coil. The higher voltage is on the compressing cylinder. This is called compression sense ignition. The ICM provides a synthesized cam signal to the PCM based on these inputs. The PCM uses the cam signal to synchronize fuel injection. This system consists of the following circuits: - An ignition voltage circuit - A ground circuit - A camshaft position (CMP) sensor signal circuit - An IC timing control circuit for cylinders #1 and #4 - An IC timing control B circuit for cylinders #2 and #3 Page 7198 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip.

Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices, interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call) by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail. These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations. The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern. When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail, verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed (i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device. Disclaimer Page 9990 Page 2884 1.

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

If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 6833 Fuel Injector: Connector Views Fuel Injector 1 Page 3709 English Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development ENGLISH PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Thread Inserts THREAD INSERTS General purpose thread repair kits.

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 3728 Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Service and Repair ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1. Turn the ignition OFF. 2. Disconnect the ECT sensor harness connector. IMPORTANT: Engine coolant must be drained below the level of the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor. 3. Remove the ECT (1). INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 1. Apply the thread sealant GM P/N 21485227, LOCTITE 242(R) Threadlocker or equivalent to the sensor threads. IMPORTANT: Tap out the sensor mounting hole in the engine head to remove any thread sealant residue. Clean any sealant residue from the old sensor and apply the RTV sealant to threads if old the sensor is going to be reused. 2. Install the ECT sensor (1). NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Tighten the ECT sensor to 20 N.m (15 lb ft). 3. Connect the ECT sensor harness connector. Push in the connector until a click is heard, then pull back to confirm a positive engagement. 4. Fill the engine coolant to the proper level. Page 8565 When using the On-Car lathe on vehicles equipped with limited slip (or posi-trac) rear system, it is critical that the rear drive shaft is disconnected/disengaged prior to operation of the On-Car lathe. Remember to mark and re-index the drive shaft correctly on re-assembly to prevent creating driveline vibration. Whenever the lathe drive motor is being switched on, the operator MUST keep their body out of the wheel well area until the machine has reached its normal operating RPM. 2. Refinish the existing rotor on an approved, well-maintained lathe to guarantee smooth, flat and parallel surfaces. Important When raising the vehicle on the lift, be sure to have it at a good working height (waist high is average) to accommodate mounting the On-Car lathe. Optimally, the center piston on the lathe trolley will be mid-travel. If the lathe trolley center piston is completely compressed (bottoming out) or inversely fully extended and hanging off the vehicle hub, this could affect the calibration time of the lathe. 3. Select the correct adapter for the vehicle you're working on and mount it to the hub with the vehicle lug nuts. Hand tighten 34-41 Nm (25-30 lb ft) the nuts using equal torque. DO NOT use impact wrenches, excessive torque will damage the adapter. Important Ensure the adapter sits flush on the rotor hat surface. Be sure to remove any rust, rotor retaining clips, etc. that may preclude the adapter from sitting flat on the mounting surface. 4. Connect the lathe to the adapter, turn on the lathe and activate the computer to compensate for run-out in the hub. 5. Once the computer indicates the compensation process was successful, on the outboard area of the rotor, position the cutting tools one eighth of an inch into the brake pad area of the rotor. Feed the cutting tools into the rotor until they cut the rotor to new metal, a full 360 degrees. Zero each dial and back off a full turn. 6. Move the cutting bits to the middle of the rotor and do the same procedure. If zero is passed during the process, reset zero. Back off a full turn. 7. Position the cutting bits one eighth of an inch inside the inboard (closest to the hub) edge of the brake pad contact area. Do the same procedure. If zero is passed during the process, reset zero. 8. Back off a full turn and position the cutting bits all the way inboard in preparation to refinish the full rotor surface. Advance both tool cutters to the zero setting plus just enough to clean up the entire rotor surface. 9. After completing the refinish, sand both sides of the rotor for approximately one minute per side using a sanding block and 130-150 grit sandpaper to obtain a non-directional finish. 10. Dismount the lathe, but leave the lathe adapter attached to the vehicle. 6. Once the rotor has been properly machined, wash the rotor with soap and water (use a mild dish washing soap) or wipe it clean with GM approved brake cleaner, P/N 88862650 (Canadian P/N 88901247). Important Thoroughly cleaning the rotor will prevent the possible transfer of finite metal dust left as a by-product of machining to the pad material during the seating process, thus reducing the opportunity for squeaks or other noises to occur. 7. ***Record the REFINISHED rotor thickness measurement on the repair order hard copy. Refer to the "Repair Order Documentation - Rotor Refinish" section of this bulletin. 8. Setting up to measure for Lateral Run Out (LRO): Important Measuring for Lateral Run Out (LRO) (steps 8 - 15) is no longer required however, these steps are being left in the overall procedure as a good check to be performed in the case of a repeat pulsation complaint. If you are not checking for LRO, go to step 16. Bench-Type Lathe 1. Ensure that the mating surfaces of the rotor hat section and the hub mating surface are clean and free of debris. 2. Mount the new, original or refinished rotor onto the vehicle hub. Important Always hold the rotor on the bottom half so any debris that may be dislodged from the vents will fall out instead of falling into the mounting area. Any movement or jarring from the rotor falling over on the studs can release rust from the vents on the rotor. 3. Tilt the top of the rotor in towards the vehicle so you can see the studs and ease the rotor onto the studs. Page 13608 Front Door Window Glass Weatherstrip: Service and Repair Door Window Sealing Strip Front Side Door Window Belt Inner Sealing Strip Replacement Sealing Strip Replacement - Front Door Window Belt Inner Removal Procedure 1.

Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the fuel injectors. The control module controls each fuel injector by grounding the control circuit via a solid state device called a driver. A fuel injector coil winding resistance that is too high or too low will affect engine driveability. A fuel injector control circuit DTC may not set, but a misfire may be apparent. The fuel injector coil windings are affected by temperature. The resistance of the fuel injector coil windings will increase as the temperature of the fuel injector increases. DIAGNOSTIC AIDS - Monitoring the misfire current counters, or misfire graph, may help to isolate the fuel injector that is causing the condition. - Operating the vehicle over a wide temperature range may help isolate the fuel injector that is causing the condition. - Perform the fuel injector coil test within the conditions of the customer's concern. A fuel injector condition may only be apparent at a certain temperature, or under certain conditions. TEST Steps 1 - 7 Page 2660 Disclaimer Page 996 Steps 21 - 29 Page 5712 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 4250 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 8146 Shift Solenoid: Service and Repair 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valve Replacement 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valve Replacement Removal Procedure Important: Retainer clips hold in each of the valve line-ups.

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

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

Program Overview Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008. Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007 issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website. Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect. Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC). Page 10913 Page 1427 Cargo Lamp Switch (Extended Sedan) Page 10805 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Page 13901 Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Diagrams Liftgate Release Switch - Exterior (Extended Sedan) Page 11898 3.

Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors: ^ Tire construction Variability in the tire construction may produce lead/pull. The rear tires will not cause lead/pull. ^ Wheel alignment ^ Brake Drag ^ Unbalanced steering gear Visual/Physical Inspection ^ Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of any of the suspension sub-systems. ^ Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom. ^ Inspect for proper tire size and inflation pressure. ^ Inspect for abnormal tire wear. Vehicle Leads/Pulls Alignment Diagnosis and Repair Front cross-caster and front cross-camber are the only wheel alignment parameters that influence lead or pull. If the vehicle leads/pulls to the left after performing the steps listed in SI Document ID, and the front wheel alignment parameters are found to be in specification, adjust the front left and/or right camber to achieve a cross-camber of -0.50° to -0.75°. Refer to Front Camber Adjustment, SI Document. The cross-camber is the difference between the left side camber and the right side camber (cross-camber = LH camber-RH camber). Positive cross-camber may cause the vehicle to pull to the left. For example: If the vehicle pulls to the left, adjust the cross-camber more negative and vice-versa. Steering Position and Torque Sensor Calibration Important: ONLY perform the steering position sensor and torque sensor recalibration procedure after the tires, suspension and alignment specifications have been inspected and/or corrected and the vehicle still exhibits a lead or pull condition. Failure to do so may result in additional customer lead and or pull concerns. Page 4482 3.

Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 1351 Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Service and Repair ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Significant additional mass can affect trim height and wheel alignment of the vehicle and may necessitate a customer pay wheel alignment when placed semi-permanently in the vehicle (Upfitter instructions are to realign the vehicle after placement of these types of items. (This typically applies to trucks and incomplete vehicles that can be upfit with equipment such as the above.) Customer Concerns, "Normal Operation" Conditions and "Mileage Policy" Possible Concerns The following are typical conditions that may require wheel alignment warranty service: 1. Lead/Pull: defined as "at a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, the amount of effort required at the steering wheel to maintain the vehicle's straight heading." Important Please evaluate for the condition with hands-on the steering wheel. Follow the "Vehicle Leads/Pulls" diagnostic tree located in SI to determine the cause of a lead/pull concern. Lead/Pull concerns can be due to road crown or road slope, tires, wheel alignment or even in rare circumstances a steering gear issue. Lead/pull concerns due to road crown are considered "Normal Operation" and are NOT a warrantable condition -- the customer should be advised that this is "Normal Operation." Important Some customers may comment on a "Lead/Pull" when they hold the steering wheel in a level condition. If so, this is more likely a "steering wheel angle" concern because the customer is "steering" the vehicle to obtain a "level" steering wheel. 2. Steering wheel angle to the left or right (counter-clockwise or clockwise, respectively): Defined as the steering wheel angle (clocking) deviation from "level" while maintaining a straight heading on a typical straight road. 3. Irregular or Premature tire wear: Slight to very slight "feathering" or "edge" wear on the shoulders of tires is NOT considered unusual and should even out with a tire rotation; if the customer is concerned about a "feathering" condition of the tires, the customer could be advised to rotate the tires earlier than the next scheduled mileage/maintenance interval (but no later than the next interval). Be sure to understand the customer's driving habits as this will also heavily influence the tire wear performance; tire wear from aggressive or abusive driving habits is NOT a warrantable condition. Important Slight or mild feathering, cupping, edge or heel/toe wear of tire tread shoulders is "normal" and can show up very early in a tire/vehicle service mileage; in fact, some new tires can show evidence of feathering from the factory. These issues do NOT affect the overall performance and tread life of the tire. Dealer personnel should always check the customer's maintenance records to ensure that tire inflation pressure is being maintained to placard and that the tires are being rotated (modified-X pattern) at the proper mileage intervals. Wheel alignments are NOT to be performed for the types of "Normal" Tire Feathering shown in Figures 1-4 below. Page 1752 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 8267 2. Once the valve is removed, inspect for any scratching or scoring. 3. If any scratching or scoring is found, then the fingernail test will need to be performed. Important: It has been found that in most cases that the scratches are not severe enough to catch your fingernail. 4. Using your fingernail, move over any scratches to see if your nail will catch on the scratch or score. - If your nail catches in the scratches, the valve will need to be replaced. - If your nail does not catch in the scratches, continue with the next step. 6. Important: Clean the valve body with the machined side down so debris may escape. 7. Clean the valve and bore using brake cleaner. 8. Blow off with shop air. 9. To verify free movement of the valve, dip the valve into clean ATF and install the valve back into the appropriate bore. The valve should move freely. If the valve moves freely, in most cases the valve body will function properly when reinstalled. 10.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 10354 Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. 1.

Install the brake rotor, and install the brake caliper and bracket as an assembly. 5. Install the tire and wheel assembly. 6. Lower the vehicle. Page 12655 PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening. ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 12569 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 2790 Left Rear Of Passenger Compartment Rear (Extended Sedan) Page 3612 2.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 6437 Page 5321 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 9594 Tighten Tighten to 8 Nm (71 lb in). 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 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.

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. 4. Drill a 10 mm (0.40 in) diameter hole through the panel. Page 11268 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1.

Wipe off any excessive grease on the intermediate shaft to avoid damage from drips on the carpet. 8. Install the instrument panel insulator panel - left side. 9. Verify that the noise is no longer present. Condition 2 There may be interference between the clamp and the steering gear input shaft. The clamp is beveled and if forced down on the input shaft too hard, it may cause a loose fit with the intermediate shaft to input shaft joint. Correction 2 To correct this condition, perform the following steps: 1. Remove the intermediate shaft pinch bolt at the steering gear end. 2. Install a new bolt, GM P/N 07845238, but do not tighten the bolt at this time. 3. Pry the clamp up using a pry bar to position the bolt into the upper part of the groove as shown above. This will position the clamp off the bevel. 4. While keeping the clamp in the upper position, tighten the bolt. Tighten Tighten the bolt to 49 Nm (36 lb ft). 5. Verify that the clunk noise is no longer present. Condition 3 Important This condition ONLY applies to 2004-2007 Chevrolet Malibu/Maxx and 2005-2007 Pontiac G6. Some customers may comment on a knocking or rattling type noise from the front of the vehicle when driven at low speeds and over bumps. The noise only occurs when the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position and sounds like the noise is in the left suspension of the vehicle or directly in front of the driver. Correction 3 1. Ensure the noise is not caused by Condition # 1. 2. Determine the source of the noise. Install the chassis ears at the following locations: - sway bar link - one side at a time - upper strut mount - one side at a time - steering gear near the pinion area - base of the steering column housing - radiator surge tank 3. If the noise is coming from the upper strut mount or sway bar link, replace as necessary and retest. 4. For 2004-2006 Chevrolet and Pontiac model year vehicles, the noise may be coming from the radiator surge tank area. (The 2007 model year vehicles use a different style radiator surge tank - refer to Step 9.) 5.

The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 10902 PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening. ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 13208 Note: The vehicles shown must not be towed backwards or transmission damage may occur. Towing Procedure Note: Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to the transmission. Important: The towing speed as stated in the Owner's Manual should not exceed 104 km/h (65 mph) for 1995-2005 vehicles. In order to properly dinghy tow the vehicle, follow these steps: 1. Firmly set the parking brake. 2. Open the fuse panel and pull the fuse(s) indicated in the Owner's Manual section detailing towing your vehicle. This prevents the instrument panel (IP) and/or electronic PRNDL indicator from draining the battery. 3. Securely attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle. 4. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position, which is one position forward of LOCK. Unlocking the steering column allows for proper movement of the front wheels and tires during towing. For 1997-1999 Cutlass, 1997-2003 Malibu, 2004-2006 Chevrolet Classic and 1999-2004 Alero/Grand Am models, turn the ignition switch to the accessory (ACC) position, which is one position forward of OFF.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-05-22-009B (Section 05 - Brakes). Condition Some customers may comment that intermittently the brake lights do not function correctly. Other symptoms may include extended pedal travel required to shift out of PARK, cruise control does not function correctly, and DTC C0131, C0161 and/or C0277 may be set. Cause The most likely cause of this condition is high resistance due to terminal fretting corrosion in the body control module (BCM) C2 or X2 connector (specifically pins 18, 31 and 59). Correction DO NOT replace the BCM for this condition. Disconnecting the C2 or X2 connector, adding dielectric lubricant and reconnecting the connector per the procedure below will correct the high resistance condition due to terminal fretting corrosion. 1. Remove the right side front floor console side trim panel to access to the Body Control Module (BCM). 2. Locate the C2 or X2 connector on the BCM. 3. Unlatch the connector and disconnect the connector from the BCM. 4. Apply dielectric lubricant (clear gel), GM P/N 12377900 (in Canada, use P/N 10953529) or equivalent, on all the connector pins (apply with a one-inch nylon bristle brush). This will treat the pins against fretting corrosion. 5. Reconnect the connector back on the BCM and re-latch. Wipe away any excess lubricant. 6. Reinstall the right side front floor console side trim panel. 7. Using the Tech 2(R), check that the BPPS ratio is equal to BPPS learned home when the brake pedal is not depressed. - If they are equal, the brake lamps should be operating correctly and no further steps are necessary. - If they are not equal, perform the Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration procedure in SI to complete the repair. 8. Verify proper operation of the brake lights. If incorrect, refer to SI and perform normal diagnostics. Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage Engine Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 04-06-04-054B Date: November 18, 2010 Subject: Info - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket) Models: 2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update to the new U.S. Fixed Operation Manager (FOM) and Canada Warranty Manager (WM) names. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System). The recent rise and expansion of companies selling non-GM parts and accessories has made it necessary to issue this reminder to dealers regarding GM's policy on the use and installation of these aftermarket components. When a dealer is performing a repair under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, they are required to use only genuine GM or GM-approved parts and accessories. This applies to all warranty repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. Parts and accessories advertised as being "the same" as parts manufactured by GM, but not sold through GM, do not qualify for use in warranty repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. During a warranty repair, if a GM original equipment part is not available through GM Customer Care and Aftersales (GM CC&A;), ACDelco(R) distributors, other GM dealers or approved sources, the dealer is to obtain comparable, non-GM parts and clearly indicate, in detail, on the repair order the circumstances surrounding why non-GM parts were used. The dealer must give customers written notice, prior to the sale or service, that such parts or accessories are not marketed or warranted by General Motors. It should also be noted that dealers modifying new vehicles and installing equipment, parts and accessories obtained from sources not authorized by GM are responsible for complying with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Certain non-approved parts or assemblies, installed by the dealer or its agent not authorized by GM, may result in a change to the vehicle's design characteristics and may affect the vehicle's ability to conform to federal law. Dealers must fully understand that non-GM approved parts may not have been validated, tested or certified for use. This puts the dealer at risk for potential liability in the event of a part or vehicle failure. If a GM part failure occurs as the result of the installation or use of a non-GM approved part, the warranty will not be honored. A good example of non-authorized modification of vehicles is the result of an ever increasing supply of aftermarket devices available to the customer, which claim to increase the horsepower and torque of the Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines. These include the addition of, but are not limited to one or more of the following modifications: - Propane injection - Nitrous oxide injection - Additional modules (black boxes) that connect to the vehicle wiring systems - Revised engine calibrations downloaded for the engine control module - Calibration modules which connect to the vehicle diagnostic connector - Modification to the engine turbocharger waste gate Although the installation of these devices, or modification of vehicle components, can increase engine horsepower and torque, they may also negatively affect the engine emissions, reliability and/or durability. In addition, other powertrain components, such as transmissions, universal joints, drive shafts, and front/rear axle components, can be stressed beyond design safety limits by the installation of these devices. General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that, when installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. It is because of these unknown stresses, and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is subsequently removed. Refer to the latest version of Bulletin 09-06-04-026 (V8 Gas Engines) or 06-06-01-007 (Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines) for more information on dealer requirements for calibration verification. These same policies apply as they relate to the use of non-GM accessories. Damage or failure from the use or installation of a non-GM accessory will not be covered under warranty. Failure resulting from the alteration or modification of the vehicle, including the cutting, welding or disconnecting of the vehicle's original equipment parts and components will void the warranty. Additionally, dealers will NOT be reimbursed or compensated by GM in the event of any legal inquiry at either the local, state or federal level that Page 9481 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. Page 7829 Disclaimer Page 5982 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown. Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 9671 Frame Angle Measurement (Express / Savana Only) ........ Page 5535 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 2650 Contamination Mixing conventional green coolant with DEX-COOL(R) will degrade the service interval from 5 yrs./150,000 miles (240,000 km) to 2 yrs./30,000 miles (50,000 km) if left in the contaminated condition. If contamination occurs, the cooling system must be flushed twice immediately and re-filled with a 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL(R) and clean water in order to preserve the enhanced properties and extended service interval of DEX-COOL(R). After 5 years/150,000 miles (240,000 km) After 5 yrs/150,000 miles (240,000 km), the coolant should be changed, preferably using a coolant exchanger. If the vehicle was originally equipped with DEX-COOL(R) and has not had problems with contamination from non-DEX-COOL(R) coolants, then the service interval remains the same, and the coolant does not need to be changed for another 5 yrs/150,000 miles (240,000 km) Equipment (Coolant Exchangers) The preferred method of performing coolant replacement is to use a coolant exchanger. A coolant exchanger can replace virtually all of the old coolant with new coolant. Coolant exchangers can be used to perform coolant replacement without spillage, and facilitate easy waste collection. They can also be used to lower the coolant level in a vehicle to allow for less messy servicing of cooling system components. It is recommended that you use a coolant exchanger with a vacuum feature facilitates removing trapped air from the cooling system. This is a substantial time savings over repeatedly thermo cycling the vehicle and topping-off the radiator. The vacuum feature also allows venting of a hot system to relieve system pressure. Approved coolant exchangers are available through the GMDE (General Motors Dealer Equipment) program. For refilling a cooling system that has been partially or fully drained for repairs other than coolant replacement, the Vac-N-Fill Coolant Refill Tool (GE-47716) is recommended to facilitate removal of trapped air from the cooling system during refill. Disclaimer Page 7915 10. Remove the oil level control valve. 11. Remove the oil filter and oil filter O-ring seal. The seal may stay in case when filter is removed. Important: Do not score or damage the transaxle case when removing the filter neck seal. 12. Using a chisel, indent the top of the filter neck seal to relax the press fit. 13. Remove the filter neck seal from the transaxle case and discard. 14. Remove all traces of the old gasket material. 15. Clean the transaxle case and oil pan gasket surfaces with solvent, and allow to air dry. Installation Procedure Page 7319 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 13021 Important: The optic cable must not be bent with a radius less than 25 mm (1 in). 12.5.

Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 6671 Conversion - English/Metric Part 1 Page 6688 Page 1859 Diagrams Page 440 Inflatable Restraint Passenger Presence System (PPS) Module Inflatable Restraint Passenger Presence System (PPS) Module Page 9064 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 9985 Page 2548 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 the drive belt is causing the rumbling noise. Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the similarity in the description. Remove only one drive belt at a time if the vehicle has multiple drive belts. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed. 4. Inspecting the drive belt is to ensure that it is not causing a the noise. Small cracks across the ribs of the drive belt will not cause the noise. Belt separation is identified by the plys of the belt separating and may be seen at the edge of the belt our felt as a lump in the belt. 5. Small amounts of pilling is normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe the drive belt does not have a smooth surface for proper operation. Drive Belt Squeal Drive Belt Squeal Diagnosis Diagnostic Aids A loose or improper installation of a body component, a suspension component, or other items of the vehicle may cause the squeal noise. If the noise is intermittent, verify the accessory drive components by varying their loads making sure they are operated to their maximum capacity. An overcharged A/C system, power steering system with a pinched hose or wrong fluid, or a generator failing are suggested items to inspect. Page 7898 All 2006 and future model transmissions that use DEXRON(R)-VI are to be serviced ONLY with DEXRON(R)-VI fluid. DEXRON(R)-VI is an improvement over DEXRON(R)-III in the following areas: * These ATF change intervals remain the same as DEXRON(R)-III for the time being. 2006-2008 Transmission Fill and Cooler Flushing Some new applications of the 6L80 six speed transmission will require the use of the J 45096 Flushing and Flow Tester to accomplish transmission fluid fill. The clean oil reservoir of the machine should be purged of DEXRON(R)-III and filled with DEXRON(R)-VI.

Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

Registered and Non - Registered Trademarks REGISTERED AND NON-REGISTERED TRADEMARKS Page 12634 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 7266 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 6266 Page 13874 Trunk / Liftgate Latch: Service and Repair Latch Replacement - Rear Compartment Lid Latch Replacement - Rear Compartment Lid Removal Procedure 1.

The state of this switch is checked by the BCM during a remote vehicle start request and the component must function properly in order for the vehicle to commence a remote start event. During the infancy of this option (RPO AP3/AP8) parts return analysis showed a significantly shorter than expected component life for the Hood Latch Switch shared across many different GM vehicles. The switches currently being factory installed, and sent as service replacement parts, are vastly improved in design and suitably robust. Most hood latch switches currently returned under warranty are analyzed and determined to have no trouble found (NTF). It is understandable and desirable that technicians gain familiarity with the vehicles they service on a daily basis, however it is required that technicians follow Strategy Based Diagnostics before replacing this switch. Important: The ONLY way to repair or replace a hood latch switch is to replace the LATCH ASSEMBLY. The switch CANNOT be serviced separately from the latch and is NOT AVAILABLE from GMSPO. Any effort to remove the switch from the latch will permanently damage the switch and void the warranty coverage of that part. Important: The hood switch provides status of the hood to the BCM for RVS purposes. The switch is integrated into the hood latch assembly. The hood ajar switch provides two separate inputs to the BCM. These separate inputs allow the BCM to actively monitor for a hood ajar switch fault. RVS System Operation The remote vehicle start (RVS) function allows engine starting while not in the vehicle. It also allows the vehicle HVAC system and other vehicle systems to enable providing a comfortable vehicle upon entry. RVS functions have an operating range of up to 59 m (195 ft) depending on conditions. The RVS sequence begins by pressing and releasing the lock button and then pressing and holding the RVS buttons on the keyless entry transmitter. The turn signal lamps will illuminate to indicate the vehicle has received the remote start request. Each time an RVS is performed the vehicle doors are locked; however they may then be unlocked/locked with the transmitter or vehicle key at any time. Once activated the engine is allowed to run for 10 minutes. The RVS time may be extended by an additional 10 minutes by again pressing and releasing the lock button and then pressing and holding the RVS buttons on the transmitter. This feature is called an RVS continue and allows a maximum of 20 minutes of engine running. If the RVS continue is performed at 7 minutes into the initial 10 minute time-out a total of 17 minutes of engine running would occur. The RVS event may be suspended at any time by pressing only the RVS button on the transmitter or by entering the vehicle and turning ON the hazard lamps. RVS System Description Remote vehicle start (RVS) begins as a Radio Frequency (RF) message received by the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) from a keyless entry transmitter. The RVS request is sent by the RCDLR to the body control module (BCM) via serial data line. The BCM monitors system conditions such as content theft deterrent (CTD) closures ajar status and body DTCs to determine if an RVS event will occur. If conditions are determined to be acceptable the RVS message is sent to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM monitors system conditions such as engine control parameters and vehicle theft deterrent (VTD) to determine if engine starting will be allowed. If conditions are acceptable the ECM will initiate engine starting.

Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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 Page 6804 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Front Impact Sensor: Service and Repair Front INFLATABLE RESTRAINT FRONT END SENSOR REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 5939 Customer Notification -- For Export Letters will be sent to known owners of record located within areas covered by the US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. For owners outside these areas, dealers should notify customers using the sample letter. In order to ensure full protection under the emission warranty, and the right to participate in future recalls, the customer notification letter recommends that customers have their vehicles serviced as soon as possible. It also advises that failure to do so could legally be determined to be lack of proper maintenance. The vehicle may fail a state or local emission inspection test if the recall work is not completed. 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 shown 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. * * *THE FOLLOWING 2 PARAGRAPHS ARE NOT FOR CANADA OR EXPORT* * * When a California emissions recall is completed by a GM dealer, the dealer must provide the vehicle owner a "Proof Of Correction Certificate" which the owner may need to present to the California Department Of Motor Vehicles (DMV) when renewing their vehicle registration.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 2537 The numbers below refer to the step number on the diagnostic table. 2. The noise may not be engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If the engine is not making the noise do not proceed further with this table. 3. The noise may be an internal engine noise. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine for a brief period will verify the noise is related to the drive belt. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed. 4. Inspect all drive belt pulleys for pilling. Pilling is the small balls or pills or it 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 misalign pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across 2 or 3 pulleys. If a misalign pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley. 10. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer was installed. 12. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is used to drive the pulley. 14. Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged or there is not excessive pilling will only be a temporary repair. Page 13583 Front Door Panel: Service and Repair Panel Replacement Trim Panel Replacement - Side Front Door Trim Panel Replacement - Side Front Door Removal Procedure 1.

The customer will hear a demo message stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services. ^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed. Note For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation. Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription. OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure, the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS. The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID (MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers. The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure, or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data. During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing. Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device identification, call routing and connection. They are: ^ A mobile identification number (MIN) ^ A mobile directory number (MDN) Note The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device. Diagnostic Information Symptoms - Cellular Communication The following steps must be completed before using the symptom table. 1. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle, before using the Symptom Tables in order to verify that the following are true: ^ There are no DTCs set. ^ The control modules can communicate via the serial data link. 2. Review the system operation in order to familiarize yourself with the system functions. Refer to Radio/Audio System Description and Operation in SI.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 9167 Page 11815 4.1.

M03: Replace the optic cable on the right-hand side Page 4577 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. A/C - New PAG Oil Refrigerant Oil: Technical Service Bulletins A/C - New PAG Oil Bulletin No.: 02-01-39-004B Date: November 16, 2005 INFORMATION Subject: New PAG Oil Released Models: 2006 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2003-2006 HUMMER H2 2006 HUMMER H3 2005-2006 Saab 9-7X Built With R-134a Refrigeration System All Air Conditioning Compressor Types (Excluding R4 and A6 Type Compressors) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to change the PAG oil part number used for R4 and A6 compressors with R-134a refrigerant systems.

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. Caution: Refer to Brake Dust Caution in Service Precautions. Burnishing the brake pads and brake rotors is necessary in order to ensure that the braking surfaces are properly prepared after service has been performed on the disc brake system. This procedure should be performed whenever the disc brake rotors have been refinished or replaced, and/or whenever the disc brake pads have been replaced. 1. Select a smooth road with little or no traffic. 2. Accelerate the vehicle to 48 km/h (30 mph). Important: Use care to avoid overheating the brakes while performing this step. 3. Using moderate to firm pressure, apply the brakes to bring the vehicle to a stop. Do not allow the brakes to lock. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until approximately 20 stops have been completed. Allow sufficient cooling periods between stops in order to properly burnish the brake pads and rotors. Page 6022 Powertrain Control Module (PCM) C1 Part 3 Page 6154 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 12646 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 1 Page 10865 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 6161 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 5524 4. Gently pull the cable and the terminal (2) out of the back of the connector. 5. Re-form the locking device if you are going to reuse the terminal (1). 6.

Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into the front of the connector body. 5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal (1) out the front of the connector body (3). Page 6781 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 805 Conversion - English/Metric Part 1 Page 12078 ^ Audio amplifier ^ Driver door module (DDM) ^ Driver door switch assembly (DDSA) ^ Front passenger door module (FPDM) ^ Left rear door module (LRDM) ^ Memory seat module (MSM) ^ Radio antenna module (listed as remote function actuation in scan tool display) ^ Rear integration module (RIM) ^ Right rear door module (RRDM) ^ Theft deterrent module (TDM) ^ TV antenna module ^ Vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) The star has 4 splice packs: ^ SP200 located in the left side of the instrument panel, near the steering column , taped to the instrument panel harness ^ SP201 located in the center of the instrument panel, near the radio ^ SP300 located in the left side middle of the passenger compartment, taped to the body harness, near the carpet seam ^ SP303 located in the right rear of the passenger compartment, taped to the body harness, approximately 24 cm (9.5 in) from the fuse block - right rear.

Due to the tie down during shipping, the vehicle's suspension requires some time to reach normal operating position. For this reason, new vehicles are generally NOT to be aligned until they have accumulated at least 800 km (500 mi). A field product report should accompany any claim within this mileage range. - 801-12,000 km (501-7,500 mi): - If a vehicle came from the factory with incorrect alignment settings, any resulting off-angle steering wheel, lead/pull characteristics or the rare occurrence of excessive tire wear would be apparent early in the life of the vehicle. The following policy applies: - Vehicles 100% Factory Set/Measured for Caster/Camber/Toe - Escalade/ESV/EXT, Tahoe/Suburban, Yukon/XL/Denali, Silverado/Sierra, Express/Savana, Corvette and Colorado/Canyon: E2000/E2020 Claims: Call Center Authorization Required - All Vehicles NOT 100% Factory Set/Measured for Caster/Camber/Toe as noted above: E2000/E2020 Claims: Dealer Service Manager Authorization Required - 12,001 km and beyond (7,501 miles and beyond): During this period, customers are responsible for the wheel alignment expense or dealers may provide on a case-by case basis a one-time customer enthusiasm claim up to 16,000 km (10,000 mi). In the event that a defective component required the use of the subject labor operations, the identified defective component labor operation will include the appropriate labor time for a wheel alignment as an add condition to the component repair. Important Only one wheel alignment labor operation claim (E2000 or E2020) may be used per VIN. Warranty Documentation Requirements When a wheel alignment service has been deemed necessary, the following items will need to be clearly documented on/with the repair order: - Customer concern in detail - What corrected the customer concern? - If a wheel alignment is performed: - Consult SI for proper specifications. - Document the "Before" AND "After" wheel alignment measurements/settings. - Completed "Wheel Alignment Repair Order Questionnaire" (form attached to this bulletin) 1. Document the customer concern in as much detail as possible on the repair order and in the warranty administration system. Preferred examples: - Steering wheel is off angle in the counterclockwise direction by approximately x degrees or clocking position. - Vehicle lead/pulls to the right at approximately x-y mph. Vehicle will climb the road crown. Severe, Moderate or Slight. - RF and LF tires are wearing on the outside shoulders with severe feathering. Important In the event of a lead/pull or steering wheel angle concern, please note the direction of lead/pull (left or right) or direction of steering wheel angle (clockwise or counterclockwise) on the repair order and within the warranty claim verbatim. Important In the event of a tire wear concern, please note the position on the vehicle and where the wear is occurring on the tire; i.e., the RF tire is wearing on the inside shoulder. 2. Document the technician's findings on cause and correction of the issue. Examples: - Reset LF toe from 0.45 degrees to 0.10 degrees and RF toe from -0.25 degrees to 0.10 degrees to correct the steering wheel angle from 5 degrees counterclockwise to 0 degrees. - Reset LF camber from 0.25 degrees to -0.05 degrees to correct the cross-camber condition of +0.30 degrees to 0.00 degrees on the vehicle. - Front Sum toe was found to be 0.50 degrees, reset to 0.20 degrees. 3. Print-out the "Before" and "After" wheel alignment measurements/settings and attach them to the Repair Order or if print-out capability is not Page 7105 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1.

Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 2355 This service data uses various symbols in order to describe different service operations. Page 11141 Seat Belt Retractor: Service and Repair Center Rear (Extended Sedan) SEAT BELT RETRACTOR REPLACEMENT - CENTER REAR (EXTENDED SEDAN) REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 5717 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve.

Installation Procedure Page 12787 Action Taken When the DTCs Sets The module suspends all message transmission. The module uses default values for all parameters received on the serial data circuits. The module inhibits the setting of all other communication DTCs. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction. Circuit/System Verification Refer to Data Link References to determine which serial data system is used for a specific module. This DTC cannot be retrieved with a current status. Diagnosis is accomplished using the following symptom procedures: Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device in SI. OR Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Low Speed GMLAN Device in SI. DTC U0140 - U0184 Circuit Description Modules connected to the GMLAN serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. In addition to this, Node Alive messages are transmitted by each module on the GMLAN serial data circuit. When the module detects one of the following conditions on the GMLAN serial data circuit, a DTC will set. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. In addition to this, Node Alive messages are transmitted by each module on the GMLAN serial data circuit. Conditions for Setting the DTCs Diagnostic algorithms are designed so that a single point failure within a particular node shall result in a single DTC/FTB combination being set. Any recognized faults shall generate one DTC. Recognized faults may include but are not limited to the following: ^ Open or shorted condition on an I/O Circuit outside of normal operation of that circuit. ^ Erratic signal of a circuit, outside of normal operation, which can be readily and repeatedly recognized as erratic. ^ A condition, outside of normal operation, which causes a customer perception of a performance problem. ^ A condition whether hardware or data link error, which causes a device to operate in a default or fail soft mode. ^ A condition which changes or limits system performance. ^ Network supervision/signal supervision errors. ^ ECU Internal errors. ^ Criteria determined by legislation. An initialization or shutdown self-test shall be performed and may include but is not limited to the following: ^ RAM check ^ ROM/EEPROM/Flash check Page 5041 4. Connect the EI module harness connector. Push in until a click is heard and pull back to confirm a positive engagement. Page 897 Page 10776 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Wheels/Tires - Refinishing Aluminum Wheels Wheels: All Technical Service Bulletins Wheels/Tires - Refinishing Aluminum Wheels INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 99-08-51-007E Date: March 17, 2011 Subject: Refinishing Aluminum Wheels Models: 2012 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add additional model years.

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 Page 4022 Vehicle - Recreational (Dinghy) Towing Information Towing Information: Technical Service Bulletins Vehicle - Recreational (Dinghy) Towing Information Bulletin No.: 00-00-89-008F Date: July 28, 2006 INFORMATION Subject: Recreational (Dinghy) Towing Page 354 Disclaimer Page 11171 Page 10624 3.

If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 11142 1. Install the seat belt retractor to the vehicle. 2. Install the seat belt retractor anchor to the seat frame. 3. Install the upper seat belt anchor to the seat frame. 4.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 2500 Disclaimer Page 12071 Vehicles Built with Upgradeable OnStar(R) System Analog Modules Note: Page 9060 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 7428 7. Pressing the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) tool in the release cavity of the terminal you are removing, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used. TERMINAL REPAIR PROCEDURE Use the appropriate terminal and crimper in the J-38125 in order to replace the terminal. Weather Pack Connectors WEATHER PACK CONNECTORS The following is the proper procedure for the repair of Weather Pack(R) Connectors. 1. Separate the connector halves (1). 2. Open the secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the connector (1). 3. Grasp the wire and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the wire in this position. 4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder (1). 5. Gently pull on the wire to remove the terminal through the back of the connector (2). IMPORTANT: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector. 6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary. 7. Reform the lock tang (2) and reset terminal in connector body. 8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves. 9. Verify that circuit is complete and working satisfactorily. 10. Perform system check. Page 6432 1. Determine the size, the pitch, and the depth of the damaged thread. If necessary, adjust the stop collars on the cutting tool and tap to the required depth. CAUTION: Refer to Safety Glasses Caution in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Refer to the thread repair kit manufacturer's instructions regarding the size of the drill and tap to use. Avoid any buildup of chips. Back out the tap every few turns and remove the chips. 2. Drill out the damaged threads. Clean out any chips. 3. Lubricate the tap with light engine oil. Tap the hole. Clean the threads. 4. Thread the thread insert onto the mandrel of the installer. Engage the tang of the insert onto the end of the mandrel. 5.

Correction Page 3840 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 12975 Page 14197 3.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Page 6491 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 3679 3. Use a small flat-bladed tool to gently pry off the dress cover by inserting the tool under the cover opposite the harness side and prying up. 4. Remove the cover. 5. Using a small flat-bladed tool, push on the side of the nose piece retainer while pushing the nose piece forward with your thumb. This will release the terminal position assurance (TPA). 6.

The position of the float arm indicates the fuel level. The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor which changes resistance in correspondence with the position of the float arm. The control module sends the fuel level information via the Class 2 circuit to the instrument panel cluster (IPC). This information is used for the IPC fuel gage and the low fuel warning indicator, if applicable. The control module also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics. Page 4569 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated.

Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 13525 12.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). OnStar(R) - Re-establishing OnStar(R) Communications Emergency Contact Module: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Re-establishing OnStar(R) Communications Bulletin No.: 00-08-46-004C Date: January 17, 2008 INFORMATION Subject: Re-establishing Communications with OnStar(R) Center After Battery Disconnect Models: 2000-2008 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn and Saab) with Digital OnStar(R) (RPO UE1) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-08-46-004B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). When servicing any of the above models and a battery cable is disconnected or power to the OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) is interrupted for any reason the following procedure must be performed to verify proper Global Positioning System (GPS) function. Never swap OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Modules (VCIM) from other vehicles. Transfer of OnStar(R) modules from other vehicles should not be done. Each OnStar(R) module has a unique identification number. The VCIM has a specific Station Identification (STID). This identification number is used by the National Cellular Telephone Network and OnStar(R) systems and is stored in General Motors Vehicle History files by VIN. After completing ALL repairs to the vehicle you must perform the following procedure: Move the vehicle into an open area of the service lot. Sit in the vehicle with the engine running and the radio turned on for five minutes. Press the OnStar(R) button in the vehicle. When the OnStar(R) advisor answers ask the advisor to verify the current location of the vehicle. If the vehicle location is different than the location the OnStar(R) advisor gives contact GM Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the diagnosis of a failed VCIM and, if appropriate, order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out within 24 hours, and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part, you will avoid a non-return core charge. Disclaimer Page 11286 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 12639 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 12637 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed.

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 Page 14034 2. Remove the console rear trim plate. 3.

A module with a class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during the current ignition cycle will have a Loss of Communication DTC set by other modules that depend on information from that failed module. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC indicating the module that cannot communicate. Diagnostic Order When more than one Loss of Communication DTC is set in either one module or in several modules, diagnose the DTCs in the following order: 1. Current DTCs before history DTCs unless told otherwise in the diagnostic table. 2. The DTC which is reported the most times. 3. From the lowest number DTC to the highest number DTC. Conditions for Running the DTC The following DTCs do not have a current status: ^ B1327 ^ B1328 ^ U1300 ^ U1301 ^ U1305 AND ^ The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTC A node alive message has not been received from a module with a learned identification number within the last 5 seconds. Action Taken When the DTC Sets Page 377 Test Description DTC U1001 and U1254 Circuit/System Description Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to the 3-digit identification number is set. Page 10459 Page 6263 This service data uses various symbols in order to describe different service operations. Page 4566 7.

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5.

Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 4479 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2.

Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 3141 8.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. A/T - DTC's P0741/P0751/P0752/P0756/P0757/P1811 Valve Body: All Technical Service Bulletins A/T - DTC's P0741/P0751/P0752/P0756/P0757/P1811 Bulletin No.: 07-07-30-025 Date: October 01, 2007 INFORMATION Subject: Information On 4T40-E (MN4) and 4T45-E (MN5) Front Wheel Drive Automatic Transmission Valve Body Reconditioning, DTC P0741, P0742, P0751, P0752, P0756, P0757, P1811, Harsh Shifts, Slips, No Drive, No Reverse Models: 1997-2005 Chevrolet Cavalier 1997-2007 Chevrolet Malibu 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx, HHR 1997-1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero 1997-2005 Pontiac Sunfire 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am 2005-2006 Pontiac Pursuit (Canada Only) 2005-2007 Pontiac G6 2007 Pontiac GS 2000-2005 Saturn L-Series 2005-2007 Saturn ION, VUE 2007 Saturn Aura with Hydra-Matic(R) 4T40-E (RPO MN4) and 4T45-E (RPO MN5) Automatic Transmission The following new service information outlined in this bulletin will aid technicians in providing easy to follow valve body reconditioning instructions and new illustrations to simplify reassembly of the valve body. The service bulletin will also provide additional service information documents that are related to the 4L6x transmission family.

Inspection Procedure Using the exploded views in this bulletin, inspect each bore for freedom of valve(s) movement and evidence of debris. Pay particular attention to those valves related to the customer's concern. Verify movement of the valves in their normal installed position. Valves may become restricted during removal or installation. This is normal due to small tolerances between the valves and bores. If a valve is restricted and cannot be corrected by cleaning valve and bore, then replace valve body. Describe restricted valve on repair order. Be sure all solenoids are installed with the electrical connectors facing the non-machined (cast) side of the valve body; otherwise, the solenoids will bind against the transmission case as the valve body bolts are tightened and damage may occur. Disassembly/Reassembly If a valve is restricted by a metal burr from machining that bore, remove valve and burr, then inspect movement in the valve's normal position. If no other debris or restrictions are found, then reassemble valve body and install in the transmission. If the valve body has been contaminated with debris from another transmission component failure, then disassemble all bores for complete cleaning of all valve body components. If possible keep individual bore parts separated for ease of reassembly. Use the following illustrations in this bulletin for a Page 3448 21. Remove the adjustable balance shaft chain guide. 22.

This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.

Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 13873 Installation Procedure 1.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 8277 5.

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.

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.

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 829 Body Control Module(BCM) C1 Part 3 Page 7514 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown.

Inspect the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir. 2. If the brake fluid level is midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable level, then no brake fluid needs to be removed from the reservoir before proceeding. If the brake fluid level is higher than midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable level, then remove brake fluid to the midway point before proceeding. 3. Raise and support the vehicle. 4. Remove the tire and wheel. 5. Using a C-clamp installed to the center of the outer brake pad and the back of the caliper, slowly compress the caliper piston into its bore just enough to remove the caliper from the mounting bracket. Notice: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from its mount and the hydraulic flexible brake hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak. 6. To loosen the brake caliper pin bolts, hold the brake caliper guide pin with a wrench. 7. Remove the lower brake caliper pin bolt. 8. Pivot the brake caliper upward and support with mechanics wire as shown. 9. Remove the brake pads (2) from the disc brake caliper bracket. 10.

Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 187 Page 6167 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 490 Important: The optic cable must not be bent with a radius less than 25 mm (1 in). 6.12.

Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 11425 Metric Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development METRIC PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Page 4353 Page 8877 Page 7645 Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection SPARK PLUG INSPECTION SPARK PLUG USAGE - Ensure that the correct spark plug is installed. An incorrect spark plug causes driveability conditions. Refer to Ignition System Specifications for the correct spark plug. - 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 - Inspect the terminal post (1) for damage. Inspect for a bent or broken terminal post (1). - Test for a loose terminal post (1) by twisting and pulling the post. The terminal post (1) should NOT move. - Inspect the insulator (2) for flashover or carbon tracking, 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. - Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack instead of the electrodes (3, 4). Page 14010 lock cylinder in the latch assembly. This retainer tumbler is not moved by the key.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 6846 Fuel Injector: Testing and Inspection Fuel Injector Circuit Diagnosis FUEL INJECTOR CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The control module enables the appropriate fuel injector pulse for each cylinder.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 11217 Assistance for all GM fleet customers using GM STC products and services is provided on the Internet via www.gmcommontraining.com using the "Contact Us" button on the site and/or the GM Common Training Help Desk at 1-888-748-2687.

SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2.

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 9383 This service data uses various symbols in order to describe different service operations. Page 6252 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 9646 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.

Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2.

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

Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 7474 Tighten the knock sensor-to-engine block bolt to 25 N.m (18 lb ft). 4. Connect the negative battery cable. Tighten the battery terminal bolts to 17 N.m (13 lb ft). 5. Reset the clock and preset radio stations. OnStar(R) - Number Incorrect/Incorrectly Assigned Emergency Contact Module: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Number Incorrect/Incorrectly Assigned INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 05-08-46-004C Date: December 23, 2010 Subject: OnStar(R) Phone Number Concerns (Phone Number Incorrect/Assigned to Another Vehicle/Phone) That Occur During Diagnosis of OnStar(R) System Models: 2000-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks Equipped with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years up to 2011.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 11713 Conditions for Running the DTC Ignition is in RUN or ACC position System voltage is between 9.5 - 15.5 volts.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 1758 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 4645 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 7614 This service data uses various symbols in order to describe different service operations. Page 9164 Fuse Block - Underhood C2 Page 7327 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. Tyco/AMP Connectors (CM 42-Way) TYCO/AMP CONNECTORS (CM 42-WAY) TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1. Locate the connector position assurance (CPA) on the connector body and pull the CPA out. The CPA is on the wire harness side of connector. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 7267 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip.

TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is a new class of gasoline with enhanced detergency and no metallic additives. It meets new, voluntary deposit control standards developed by six automotive companies that exceed the detergent recommendations of Canadian standards and does not contain metallic additives, which can damage vehicle emission control components. Where Can TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline Be Purchased? The TOP TIER program began in the U.S. and Canada on May 3, 2004. Some fuel marketers have already joined and introduced TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline. This is a voluntary program and not all fuel marketers will offer this product. Once fuel marketers make public announcements, they will appear on a list of brands that meet the TOP TIER standards. Who developed TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards? TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards were developed by six automotive companies: BMW, General Motors, Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and Audi. Why was TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline developed? TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline was developed to increase the level of detergent additive in gasoline. In the U.S., government regulations require that all gasoline sold in the U.S. contain a detergent additive. However, the requirement is minimal and in many cases, is not sufficient to keep engines clean. In Canada, gasoline standards recommend adherence to U.S. detergency requirements but do not require it. In fact, many brands of gasoline in Canada do not contain any detergent additive. In order to meet TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards, a higher level of detergent is needed than what is required or recommended, and no metallic additives are allowed. Also, TOP TIER was developed to give fuel marketers the opportunity to differentiate their product. Why did the six automotive companies join together to develop TOP TIER? All six corporations recognized the benefits to both the vehicle and the consumer. Also, joining together emphasized that low detergency and the intentional addition of metallic additives is an issue of concern to several automotive companies. What are the benefits of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline? TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline will help keep engines cleaner than gasoline containing the "Lowest Additive Concentration" recommended by Canadian standards. Clean engines help provide optimal fuel economy and engine performance, and also provide reduced emissions. Also, the use of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline will help reduce deposit related concerns. Who should use TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline? All vehicles will benefit from using TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline over gasoline containing the "Lowest Additive Concentration" recommended by Canadian standards. Those vehicles that have experienced deposit related concerns may especially benefit from use of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline. More information on TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline can be found at this website, http://www.toptiergas.com/. Page 11076 20.

The BCM monitors the ignition switch position, battery condition and passenger compartment doors status to determine whether RAP should be initiated. The modules then support the operation of the systems under their control as required by their RAP power mode operation. RAP will end when one of the following conditions is met: The BCM receives an input indicating the opening of any compartment door. - The BCM internal timer for the RAP expires after approximately 10 minutes. - The BCM detects a decrease in battery capacity below a prescribed limit. - The Radio uses an exclusive RAP message that can not be circumvented by any door but the drives door. The BCM then sends a serial data power mode message ending the RAP function. The radio is the only module that is controlled by the serial data circuits. RELAY CONTROL OF RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER (RAP) The body control module (BCM) keeps the accessory relay energized during all power modes, except Off-Awake and Crank. The devices powered by the accessory relay during the retained accessory power (RAP) power mode are the sunroof and windows. Page 9836 2.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors.

This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern.

Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker: This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is removed. Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker: This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2. Circuit Protection - Fuses CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES Page 13378 10.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 663 English Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development ENGLISH PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Thread Inserts THREAD INSERTS General purpose thread repair kits.

Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 5705 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Micro .64 Connectors MICRO.64 CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro 64 connectors. 1. Locate the lever lock on the wire dress cover. While depressing the lock, pull the lever over and past the lock. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component. 3. Locate the dress cover locking tabs at the front of the connector. Using a small flat-blade tool push down on one of the locking tabs and pull the cover up until the dress cover releases. Repeat this procedure for the other locking tab. 4. Once the front 2 locks are unlocked, lift the front of the dress cover and pull it forward. Page 2208 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 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.

Registered and Non - Registered Trademarks REGISTERED AND NON-REGISTERED TRADEMARKS Description and Operation Fuel Supply Line: Description and Operation FUEL FEED PIPES The fuel feed pipe carries fuel from the fuel tank to the fuel injection system. The fuel pipe consists of 3 sections: The rear fuel pipe is located from the top of the fuel tank to the chassis fuel pipe. The rear fuel pipe is constructed of nylon. - The chassis fuel pipe is located under the vehicle and connects the rear fuel pipe to the engine compartment fuel pipe. The chassis fuel pipe is constructed of galvanized aluminum. - The engine compartment fuel pipe connects the chassis fuel feed pipe to the fuel rail. The engine compartment fuel pipe is constructed of steel. NYLON FUEL PIPES CAUTION: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury observe the following items: Replace all nylon fuel pipes that are nicked, scratched or damaged during installation, do not attempt to repair the sections of the nylon fuel pipes - Do not hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips when installing new fuel pipes. Damage to the nylon pipes may result in a fuel leak. - Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet towel before using a torch near them. Also, never expose the vehicle to temperatures higher than 15°C (239°F) for more than one hour, or more than 90°C (194°F) for any extended period. - Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends before connecting fuel pipe fittings. This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. (During normal operation, the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated.) Nylon pipes are constructed to withstand maximum fuel system pressure, exposure to fuel additives, and changes in temperature. There are 2 sizes of nylon pipes used: 9.53 mm (3/8 in) ID for the fuel feed - 12.7 mm (1/2 in) ID for the vent Heat resistant rubber hose or corrugated plastic conduit protect the sections of the pipes that are exposed to chafing, high temperature, or vibration. Nylon fuel pipes are somewhat flexible and can be formed around gradual turns under the vehicle. However, if nylon fuel pipes are forced into sharp bends, the pipes kink and restrict the fuel flow. Also, once exposed to fuel, nylon pipes may become stiffer and are more likely to kink if bent too far. Take special care when working on a vehicle with nylon fuel pipes. Page 6894 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

Wheel Alignment Specifications Page 5330 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 2785 Application Table Location View Page 9931 Page 7099 Page 1586 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 1 Page 95 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 565 For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the appropriate/closest labor operation depending upon the module/component connection that the dielectric lubricant was applied to refer to the table above. Disclaimer Page 7432 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 6482 2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 2189 Page 13146 Steering Mounted Controls Transmitter: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 5404 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.

Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 797 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 12251 Page 6075 7. Pressing the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) tool in the release cavity of the terminal you are removing, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector.

TERMINAL REPAIR PROCEDURE Use the appropriate terminal and crimper in the J-38125 in order to replace the terminal. Weather Pack Connectors WEATHER PACK CONNECTORS The following is the proper procedure for the repair of Weather Pack(R) Connectors. 1. Separate the connector halves (1). 2. Open the secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the connector (1). 3. Grasp the wire and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the wire in this position. 4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder (1). 5. Gently pull on the wire to remove the terminal through the back of the connector (2). IMPORTANT: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector. 6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary. 7. Reform the lock tang (2) and reset terminal in connector body. 8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves. 9. Verify that circuit is complete and working satisfactorily. 10. Perform system check. Page 1856 Page 5671 Steps 14 - 15 The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table. 4. This step tests for a short to voltage on the MIL control circuit. With the fuse removed there should be no voltage on the MIL control circuit. Page 2549 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 belt and operating the engine for a brief period will verify the squeal noise is the drive belt or an accessory drive component. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed. 4. This test is to verify that an accessory drive component does not have a seized bearing. With the belt remove test the bearings in the accessory drive components for turning smoothly. Also test the accessory drive components with the engine operating by varying the load on the components to verify that the components operate properly. 5. This test is to verify that the drive belt tensioner operates properly. If the drive belt tensioner is not operating properly, proper belt tension may not be achieved to keep the drive belt from slipping which could cause a squeal noise. 6. This test is to verify that the drive belt is not too long, which would prevent the drive belt tensioner from working properly. Also if an incorrect length drive belt was installed, it may not be routed properly and may be turning an accessory drive component in the wrong direction. 7. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for Page 3890 16. Connect the electrical connector to coolant temperature sensor. 17.

SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2.

This helps prevent moisture from Diagrams Page 6885 Fuel Pump Relay: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 7609 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 11582 ^ Audio amplifier ^ Driver door module (DDM) ^ Driver door switch assembly (DDSA) ^ Front passenger door module (FPDM) ^ Left rear door module (LRDM) ^ Memory seat module (MSM) ^ Radio antenna module (listed as remote function actuation in scan tool display) ^ Rear integration module (RIM) ^ Right rear door module (RRDM) ^ Theft deterrent module (TDM) ^ TV antenna module ^ Vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) The star has 4 splice packs: ^ SP200 located in the left side of the instrument panel, near the steering column , taped to the instrument panel harness ^ SP201 located in the center of the instrument panel, near the radio ^ SP300 located in the left side middle of the passenger compartment, taped to the body harness, near the carpet seam ^ SP303 located in the right rear of the passenger compartment, taped to the body harness, approximately 24 cm (9.5 in) from the fuse block - right rear.

Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) supplies the OnStar(R) button assembly with 10 volts via the keypad supply voltage circuit. Each of the buttons, when pressed, completes the circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM over the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned, the VCIM is able to identify which button has been activated. Conditions for Running the DTCs The ignition is ON. System voltage is between 9 - 16 volts. Conditions for Setting the DTCs B2476 04: The VCIM detects an open/high resistance on the keypad supply voltage circuit. B2482 and B2476 59: The VCIM detects a valid signal on the keypad signal circuit for more than 15 seconds. If one of the OnStar(R) buttons is held or stuck for 15 seconds or more, the VCIM will set these DTCs. Action Taken When the DTCs Set The OnStar(R) status LED turns red. No calls can be placed. The VCIM will ignore all inputs from the OnStar® button assembly. Conditions for Clearing the DTCs The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. Page 6068 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

An excessively wide electrode gap can prevent correct spark plug operation. - Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Insufficient torque can prevent correct spark plug operation. An over torqued spark plug, causes the insulator (2) to crack. - Inspect for signs of tracking that occurred near the insulator tip instead of the center electrode (4). - Inspect for a broken or worn side electrode (3). - Inspect for a broken, worn, or loose center electrode (4) by shaking the spark plug. A rattling sound indicates internal damage. - A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark intensity. - Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the gap. - Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4) If equipped. - Inspect for excessive fouling. - Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during installation. SPARK PLUG VISUAL INSPECTION - Normal operation-Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are normal combustion by-products from fuels with additives. - Carbon Fouled-Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions: Rich fuel mixtures Leaking fuel injectors - Excessive fuel pressure - Restricted air filter element - Incorrect combustion - Reduced ignition system voltage output Weak 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. Page 12729 8.2. Remove the console (A) together with the OnStar(R) control modules. 8.3.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 4498 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes.

You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 7596 2.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-02-32-007F (Section 02 - Steering). Condition 1 Some customers may comment on a clunk noise heard and felt in the steering wheel while driving at slow speeds and turning. The clunk noise may appear to be directly in front of the driver. Hitting a bump while turning can produce the clunk noise. Sometimes the noise may be duplicated when the vehicle is sitting still and the steering wheel is turned 90 degrees in either direction before initially centering the steering wheel. Cause 1 The clunk noise may be caused by a slip/stick condition between the inner and outer components of the intermediate shaft. Important Revised design intermediate shafts went into production in the 2009 model year and are the only design currently available through GMSPO since approximately September 2008. Since any model year vehicle could have had a second design shaft installed, it is critical to identify it before proceeding. The revised design intermediate shafts will NOT tolerate any type of lubricant per the following instructions. Adding lube to the second design shafts will cause a clunk noise in a very short period of time. Use the following pictures to identify which design of shaft you are servicing. Electric Assist Power Steering First Design - Bare Steel Tube (Lube OK) Page 557 For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the appropriate/closest labor operation depending upon the module/component connection that the dielectric lubricant was applied to refer to the table above. Disclaimer Page 6015 Page 10777 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Front Suspension Stabilizer Bushing: Service and Repair Front Suspension Stabilizer Shaft Insulator Replacement Removal Procedure 1.

Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire.

This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 7142 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 2086 Page 2814 1.

If replacing a master or valet key, program the key transponder to the vehicle. Refer to Programming Theft Deterrent System Components. LOCK CYLINDER TUMBLER OPERATION Each of the 4 cut depths on the key has corresponding tumblers sometimes referred to as plates or wafers. The tumbler depth number is stamped on the tumblers for identification. The I/P storage compartment lock cylinder also require a retainer tumbler. The retainer tumbler is not moved by the key, its function is to retain the I/P storage compartment lock cylinder in the lock assembly. ASSEMBLING AND CODING IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER The ignition lock cylinder uses 7 of the 10 cut positions, 1 through 7. The tumbler positions are staggered from side to side, 4 on one side and 3 on the other. Page 4142 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 9213 C208 I/P Harness to Body Harness C214 Body Harness to Console Harness (Without RPO Code UK6,U32) Page 12075 ^ An OnStar(R) Call Center button press WILL NOT connect the vehicle with OnStar(R).

Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription. OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure, the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS. The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID (MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers. The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure, or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data. During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing. Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device identification, call routing and connection. They are: ^ A mobile identification number (MIN) ^ A mobile directory number (MDN) Note The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device. Diagnostic Information Symptoms - Cellular Communication The following steps must be completed before using the symptom table. 1. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle, before using the Symptom Tables in order to verify that the following are true: ^ There are no DTCs set. ^ The control modules can communicate via the serial data link. 2. Review the system operation in order to familiarize yourself with the system functions. Refer to Radio/Audio System Description and Operation in SI.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 5569 Diagram Information and Instructions Oxygen Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions Passenger Car Zoning PASSENGER CAR ZONING All grounds, in-line connectors, pass-through grommets, and splices have identifying numbers that correspond to where they are located in the vehicle.

Inspect the brake caliper for brake fluid leaks while performing the hydraulic brake system bleeding procedure after the caliper has been installed to the vehicle. If the brake caliper leaks brake fluid from the FRONT of the caliper past the piston dust boot seal, replace the caliper piston assembly. The piston integral adjustment mechanism contains a non-serviceable seal which may be allowing brake fluid to leak past it through a bleed hole near the end of the caliper piston. Page 6192 Page 13340 Body Control System Diagram 4 Page 1010 Page 11284 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 6066 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 12244 Circuit/System Testing Component Testing Page 11910 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 5299 4. Gently pull the cable and the terminal (2) out of the back of the connector. 5. Re-form the locking device if you are going to reuse the terminal (1). 6. To repair the terminal, refer to Terminal Repair. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. Slip the cable seal away from the terminal. 2. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 3. Slip a new cable seal onto the wire. 4. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 5. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 6. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. 7. Slide the cable seal toward the terminal. 8. Crimp the cable seal and the insulation. 9. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply grease to the connector. REINSTALLING TERMINAL 1. In order to reuse a terminal or lead assembly. Refer to Wiring Repairs . 2. Ensure that the cable seal is kept on the terminal side of the splice. 3. Insert the lead from the back until it catches. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Pull to Seat Connectors PULL TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should be replaced. Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors: 1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into the front of the connector body. 5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal (1) out the front of the connector body (3). Page 8995 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 2762 Fuse: Locations Fuse Block - Rear Location View Page 1583 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 789 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown. Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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 Page 6910 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip.

Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 959 PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening. ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 99-01-39-004B (Section 01 - HVAC). Condition Some customers may comment about musty odors emitted from the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system at vehicle start-up in hot, humid conditions. Cause This condition may be caused by condensate build-up on the evaporator core, which does not evaporate by itself in high humidity conditions. The odor may be the result of microbial growth on the evaporator core. When the blower motor fan is turned on, the microbial growth may release an unpleasant musty odor into the passenger compartment. There are several other possible sources of a musty odor in a vehicle. A common source is a water leak into the interior of the vehicle or foreign material in the HVAC air distribution system. Follow the procedures in SI for identifying and correcting water leaks and air inlet inspection. The procedure contained in this bulletin is only applicable if the odor source has been determined to be microbial growth on the evaporator core inside the HVAC module. Correction Many vehicles currently incorporate an afterblow function within the HVAC control module software. The afterblow feature, when enabled, employs the HVAC blower fan to dry the evaporator after vehicle shut down and this function will inhibit microbial growth. Technicians are to confirm that the customer concern is evaporator core odor and that the vehicle has the imbedded afterblow feature, as defined in the SI document for that specific vehicle model, model year and specific HVAC option. Refer to SI for enabling the afterblow function. Vehicles being delivered in areas prone to high humidity conditions may benefit from having the afterblow enabled calibration installed prior to any customer comment. Important If the vehicle is not factory equipped with the imbedded afterblow enable feature, it may be added with the Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module Kit (P/N 12497910 or AC Delco 15-5876). Important When installing the Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module, you MUST use the included electrical splice connectors to ensure a proper splice. Complete detailed installation instructions and self testing procedures are supplied with the kit. If necessary, the Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module may be installed underhood if it is protected from extreme heat and water splash areas. To immediately remove the evaporator core odor on all suspect vehicles, it is necessary to eliminate the microbial growth and prevent its re-occurrence. To accomplish this, perform the following procedure: Vehicle and Applicator Tool Preparation 1. The evaporator core must be dry. This may be accomplished by disabling the compressor and running the blower fan on the recirc heat setting for an extended period of time. Note Compressor engagement will cause the evaporator core to remain wet and will prevent full adherence of the Coiling Coil Coating to the evaporator core surfaces. 2. Verify that the air conditioning drain hose is not clogged and place a drain pan beneath the vehicle. Page 6521 Page 10778 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 5467 Page 2968 *This product is currently available from 3M.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-06-01-026B (Section 06 - Engine). When replacing an engine due to internal damage, extreme care should be taken when transferring the intake manifold to the new Goodwrench service engine long block. Internal damage may result in the potential discharge of internal engine component debris in the intake manifold via broken pistons and/or bent, broken, or missing intake valves. After removing the intake manifold from the engine, the technician should carefully inspect all of the cylinder head intake ports to see if the valve heads are still present and not bent. Usually when the valve heads are missing or sufficiently bent, internal engine component debris will be present to varying degrees in the intake port of the cylinder head. If this debris is present in any of the cylinder head intake ports, the intake manifold should be replaced. This replacement is required due to the complex inlet runner and plenum configuration of most of the intake manifolds, making thorough and complete component cleaning difficult and nearly impossible to verify complete removal of debris. Re-installation of an intake manifold removed from an engine with deposits of internal engine component debris may result in the ingestion of any remaining debris into the new Goodwrench service engine. This may cause damage or potential failure of the new service engine. Disclaimer Page 993 Steps 1 - 7 Page 11067 10. Remove the garnish molding from the upper lock pillar. 11.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 4130 3.

Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 7434 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

Install the thermostat cartridge into the thermostat housing while aligning the cartridge tangs up with the thermostat housing bolt holes. This will assure the inner sleeve can be completely installed. 2. Align and insert the inner sleeve notch into the thermostat housing. If the inner sleeve notch is not properly positioned, the sleeve will not completely seat into the housing. 3. Install a new thermostat housing cover seal into the recess groove. Page 3088 30. If the timing chain tensioner is not in the compressed state, perform the following steps: 30.1. Remove the piston assembly from the body of the timing chain tensioner by pulling it out. 30.2. Install the J 45027-2 (2) into a vise. 30.3. Install the notch end of the piston assembly into the J 45027-2 (2). 30.4. Using the J 45027-1 (1), turn the ratchet cylinder into the piston. 31. Inspect the bore of the tensioner body for dirt, debris, and damage. If any damage appears, replace the tensioner. Clean dirt or debris out with a lint free cloth. 32. Install the compressed piston assembly back into the timing chain tensioner body until it stops at the bottom of the bore. Do not compress the piston assembly against the bottom of the bore. If the piston assembly is compressed against the bottom of the bore, it will activate the tensioner, which will then need to be reset again. 33. At this point the tensioner should measure approximately 72 mm (2.83 in) (a) from end to end. If the tensioner does not read 72 mm (2.83 in) (a) from end to end repeat steps 30.1 and 30.4. Page 6395 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM 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.

The table explains the numbering system. Electrical Symbols Page 13290 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 5871 Page 5412 Locations Right Front of the Engine Compartment Page 5434 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 3699 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Specifications Crankshaft: Specifications Crankshaft Connecting Rod Journal Diameter ........................................................................................................................ 49.000-49.014 mm (1.9291-1.9297 inch) Crankshaft End Play .................................................................................................................................................. 0.050-0.380 mm (0.0012-0.0150 inch) Crankshaft Main Bearing Clearance ......................................................................................................................... 0.031-0.067 mm (0.0012-0.0026 inch) Crankshaft Main Journal Diameter ....................................................................................................................... 55.994-56.008 mm (2.2045-2.2050 inch) Page 12158 ^ Pay the dealer the regular retail price (no discounts are available) for one of the following 1-year, non-refundable OnStar(R) Analog-to-Digital Transition (ADT) Service Subscription Plans: ^ 1-year Safe & Sound Subscription: $199 ($289 in Canada) ^ 1-year Directions & Connections Subscription: $399 ($579 in Canada) ^ Pay the dealer the applicable state and local sales taxes on the subscription: ^ U.S. Dealers: Taxes only apply in these states: CT, DC, FL, HI, ND, NJ, NM, NY, SC, SD, TX, and WV ^ Canadian Dealers: All applicable taxes ^ Pay the dealer a one-time charge of $15 for the upgrade: ^ U.S. Dealers: Do not collect taxes on the $15 ^ Canadian Dealers: Collect all applicable taxes on the $15 Note: Dealers should NOT remit OnStar(R) ADT-related taxes to their taxing authority as OnStar(R) is responsible for tax remittance.

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. 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. 3. The installation of a drive belt that is two wide or two narrow will cause wear on the drive belt. The drive belt ribs should match all of the grooves on all of the pulleys. 4. This inspection is to verify the drive belt 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. Page 6099 Page 14173 7.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 11919 This service data uses various symbols in order to describe different service operations. Page 11178 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 977 Powertrain Control Module (PCM) C1 Part 3 Page 13399 Front Bumper Reinforcement: Service and Repair Impact Bar Replacement - Front Bumper Impact Bar Replacement - Front Bumper Removal Procedure Caution: Refer to Approved Equipment for Collision Repair Caution in Service Precautions. 1.

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 Page 12788 ^ I/O check Any faults detected during the initialization self-test shall generate a DTC. All nodes also continuously perform a self-test while in an active state. DTCs and their associated telltales will set as a result of unprogrammed or unlearned information. DTCs, which are defined for system configuration (e.g. Vehicle Option Content not programmed) do not support the history status bit (set =0). Warning indicator bit is also set, when applicable, while this DTC is present. Action Taken When the DTCs Sets The module suspends all message transmission. The module uses default values for all parameters received on the serial data circuits. The module inhibits the setting of all other communication DTCs. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction. Circuit/System Verification Refer to Data Link References to determine which serial data system is used for a specific module. The DTCs cannot be retrieved with a current status. Diagnosis is accomplished using the following symptom procedures: Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device in SI.

This can cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is moving, causing loss of control and possibly personal injury. Important: Wheel nuts, studs, and mounting surfaces must be clean and dry. 1. Remove any corrosion or foreign material from the wheel and the hub mounting surfaces. 2. Clean the threads on the wheel studs and wheel nuts. 3. Install the tire and wheel assembly. Align the locating mark of the wheel to the hub. 4. Install the wheel nuts. Notice: A torque wrench or J 39544 must be used to ensure that wheel nuts are tightened to specification. Never use lubricants or penetrating fluids on wheel stud, nuts, or mounting surfaces, as this can raise the actual torque on the nut without a corresponding torque reading on the torque wrench. Wheel nuts, studs, and mounting surfaces must be clean and dry. Failure to follow these instructions could result in wheel, nut, and/or stud damage. Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Important: Tighten the nuts evenly and alternately in the sequence shown, in order to avoid excessive runout. 5. Using the J 39544-KIT, tighten the wheel nuts in the sequence shown. ^ Tighten the nuts in sequence to 140 Nm (100 ft. lbs.). 6. Install the wheel nut caps, if equipped. 7. Install the wheel center cap, if equipped. 8. Lower the vehicle. Page 6396 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3. Use the proper pick or removal tool (1) in order to release the terminal. Page 11895 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks.

Repair Procedure Page 1576 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 1892 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2.

This bulletin is intended to quickly review and reinforce simple but vital procedures to reduce the possibility of achieving low torque during wheel installation. Always refer to SI for wheel lug nut torque specifications and complete jacking instructions for safe wheel changing. Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to include the 2011 model year and update the available special tool list. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-03-10-010 (Section 03 Suspension). Frequency of Wheel Changes - Marketplace Driven Just a few years ago, the increasing longevity of tires along with greater resistance to punctures had greatly reduced the number of times wheels were removed to basically required tire rotation intervals. Today with the booming business in accessory wheels/special application tires (such as winter tires), consumers are having tire/wheel assemblies removed - replaced - or installed more than ever. With this increased activity, it opens up more of a chance for error on the part of the technician. This bulletin will review a few of the common concerns and mistakes to make yourself aware of. Proper Servicing Starts With the Right Tools The following tools have been made available to assist in proper wheel and tire removal and installation. - J 41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent) - J 42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent) Corroded Surfaces One area of concern is corrosion on the mating surfaces of the wheel to the hub on the vehicle. Excessive corrosion, dirt, rust or debris built up on these surfaces can mimic a properly tightened wheel in the service stall. Once the vehicle is driven, the debris may loosen, grind up or be washed away from water splash. This action may result in clearance at the mating surface of the wheel and an under-torqued condition. Caution Before installing a wheel, remove any buildup on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or brake disc mounting surface. Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This may cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is moving, possibly resulting in a loss of control or personal injury. Whenever you remove the tire/wheel assemblies, you must inspect the mating surfaces. If corrosion is found, you should remove the debris with a die grinder equipped with a fine sanding pad, wire brush or cleaning disc. Just remove enough material to assure a clean, smooth mating surface. The J 41013 (or equivalent) can be used to clean the following surfaces: - The hub mounting surface - The brake rotor mounting surface - The wheel mounting surface Use the J 42450-A (or equivalent) to clean around the base of the studs and the hub. Lubricants, Grease and Fluids Page 11036 Air Bag Control Module: Connector Views Inflatable Restraint Sensing And Diagnostic Module (SDM) (With RPO Code AK5) Part 1 Page 12635 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 3558 8.

Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 6085 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 8078 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 13277 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3. Use the proper pick or removal tool (1) in order to release the terminal. Page 6394 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 4558 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component.

Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 4126 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in: Service Engine Soon (SES) light on Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s) Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur. When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the concern. The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty. If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs. Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not considered to be warrantable repair items. Page 6588 Fuel Pressure: Testing and Inspection Fuel System Diagnosis FUEL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The control module enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned ON. The control module will disable the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds unless the control module detects ignition reference pulses. The control module continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as ignition reference pulses are detected. The control module disables the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds if ignition reference pulses cease to be detected and the ignition remains ON. The fuel system is a returnless on-demand design. The fuel pressure regulator is a part of the fuel sender assembly, eliminating the need for a return pipe from the engine. A returnless fuel system reduces the internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the engine to the fuel tank. Reducing the internal temperature of the fuel tank results in lower evaporative emissions. The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel sender assembly inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel filter, contained in the fuel sender assembly, and the fuel feed pipe to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow than is needed by the fuel injection system. The fuel pump also supplies fuel to a venturi pump located on the bottom of the fuel sender assembly. The function of the venturi pump is to fill the fuel sender assembly reservoir. The fuel pressure regulator, a part of the fuel sender assembly, maintains the correct fuel pressure to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump and sender assembly contains a reverse flow check valve. The check valve and the fuel pressure regulator maintain fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long cracking times.

All nodes also continuously perform a self-test while in an active state. DTCs and their associated telltales will set as a result of unprogrammed or unlearned information. DTCs, which are defined for system configuration (e.g. Vehicle Option Content not programmed) do not support the history status bit (set =0). Warning indicator bit is also set, when applicable, while this DTC is present. Action Taken When the DTCs Sets The module suspends all message transmission. The module uses default values for all parameters received on the serial data circuits. The module inhibits the setting of all other communication DTCs. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction. Circuit/System Verification Refer to Data Link References to determine which serial data system is used for a specific module. The DTCs cannot be retrieved with a current status. Diagnosis is accomplished using the following symptom procedures: Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device in SI. OR Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Low Speed GMLAN Device in SI. DTC U1300, U1301, or U1305 Circuit Description Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. In addition to this, Node Alive messages are transmitted by each module on the Class 2 serial data circuit about once every 2 seconds. When the module detects one of the following conditions on the Class 2 serial data circuit for approximately 3 seconds, the setting of all other Class 2 serial communication DTCs is inhibited and a DTC will set.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 6855 1. Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe end. CAUTION: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, before connecting fuel pipe fittings, always apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends. - This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. - During normal operation, the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated. 2.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Technician Safety Information Positive: Technician Safety Information CAUTION: - Batteries produce explosive gases. Batteries contain corrosive acid. Batteries supply levels of electrical current high enough to cause burns. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of personal injury while working near a battery, observe the following guidelines: Always shield your eyes. - Avoid leaning over the battery whenever possible. - Do not expose the battery to open flames or sparks. - Do not allow battery acid to contact the eyes or the skin. Flush any contacted areas with water immediately and thoroughly. - Get medical help. - Do not connect a jumper cable directly to the negative terminal of a discharged battery to prevent sparking and possible explosion of battery gases. Page 1733 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals.

The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Specifications Page 11174 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 268 Conditions for Running the DTC Ignition is in RUN or ACC position System voltage is between 9.5 - 15.5 volts. The above conditions are met for more than 1 second. Conditions for Setting the DTC The VCIM does not detect the presence of a cellular antenna for more than 1 second.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 13407 1. Install the energy absorber extensions to the absorber. Press into place until fully seated. 2.

Use the proper pick or removal tool (1) in order to release the terminal. Page 6318 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 3837 Page 1020 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks.

Repeat this procedure for the other locking tab. 4. Once the front 2 locks are unlocked, lift the front of the dress cover and pull it forward. Page 7598 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving.

Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices, interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call) by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail. These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations. The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern. When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail, verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed (i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device. Disclaimer Page 12272 2.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 3591 Page 4474 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Diagram Information and Instructions Body Control Module: Diagram Information and Instructions Passenger Car Zoning PASSENGER CAR ZONING All grounds, in-line connectors, pass-through grommets, and splices have identifying numbers that correspond to where they are located in the vehicle.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 11001 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Registered and Non - Registered Trademarks REGISTERED AND NON-REGISTERED TRADEMARKS Page 6392 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 1980 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 818 Page 1744 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 2164 Page 5543 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Service and Repair Hood Hinge: Service and Repair Hood Hinge Replacement Removal Procedure Caution: When a hood hold open device is being removed or installed, provide alternate support to avoid the possibility of damage to the vehicle or personal injury. 1. Remove the hood. 2. Using a grease pencil, mark the position of the hood hinge to the body. 3. Remove the upper fender bolts. 4. Remove the hinge bolts and the hinge. Installation Procedure Page 7149 Page 4000 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 7565 1.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add 4T65 and 4L60 transmissions. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-07-30-040A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). .............................................................................................................................................................. .................................................................................. A new transmission oil pan magnet, P/N 29535617, was released for service. The current square transmission oil pan magnet may become saturated with normal ferrous sediment and the Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS) is now collecting ferrous sediment, making it vary from design. For a given current the PCS electromagnet is stronger, causing the line pressure to be less than needed. When checking PCS line pressure (refer to Line Pressure Check in SI) and it shows that the line pressure is lower than required (refer to Current-Amps/Line Pressure Chart in SI), for a given current at the PCS or the transmission oil pan was removed (for either normal maintenance or warranty service), only then should the transmission oil pan magnet be upgraded. 1. Remove and discard the original square transmission oil pan magnet and install a new one in the current location (See graphics below for the correct application). 2. Install the second new transmission oil pan magnet in the following location as shown in the illustration. 4T40 & 4T45 4T65E Page 7524 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 5967 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 7195 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125.

The front end sensor is an electronic sensor and is not part of the deployment loops, but instead provides an input to the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The front end sensor can assist in determining the severity of some frontal collisions. The SDM contains a microprocessor which performs calculations using the measured accelerations and compares these calculations to a value stored in memory. When the generated calculations exceed the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the frontal deployment loops deploying the frontal air bags. Page 471 Page 11580 Check - Vehicle. The Diagnostic System Check will provide the following information: ^ The identification of the control modules which command the system ^ The ability of the control modules to communicate through the serial data circuit ^ The identification of any stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their status The use of the Diagnostic System Check will identify the correct procedure for diagnosing the system and where the procedure is located.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. OnStar(R) - Re-establishing OnStar(R) Communications Emergency Contact Module: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Re-establishing OnStar(R) Communications Bulletin No.: 00-08-46-004C Date: January 17, 2008 INFORMATION Subject: Re-establishing Communications with OnStar(R) Center After Battery Disconnect Models: 2000-2008 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn and Saab) with Digital OnStar(R) (RPO UE1) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-08-46-004B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). When servicing any of the above models and a battery cable is disconnected or power to the OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) is interrupted for any reason the following procedure must be performed to verify proper Global Positioning System (GPS) function. Never swap OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Modules (VCIM) from other vehicles. Transfer of OnStar(R) modules from other vehicles should not be done. Each OnStar(R) module has a unique identification number. The VCIM has a specific Station Identification (STID). This identification number is used by the National Cellular Telephone Network and OnStar(R) systems and is stored in General Motors Vehicle History files by VIN. After completing ALL repairs to the vehicle you must perform the following procedure: Move the vehicle into an open area of the service lot. Sit in the vehicle with the engine running and the radio turned on for five minutes. Press the OnStar(R) button in the vehicle. When the OnStar(R) advisor answers ask the advisor to verify the current location of the vehicle. If the vehicle location is different than the location the OnStar(R) advisor gives contact GM Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the diagnosis of a failed VCIM and, if appropriate, order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out within 24 hours, and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part, you will avoid a non-return core charge. Disclaimer Page 367 2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules. Part 1 OnStar(R) Description and Operation This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components: ^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) ^ OnStar(R) button assembly ^ Microphone ^ Cellular antenna ^ Navigation antenna Note This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system. Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging. Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the serial data bus. The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R) system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand. The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request. OnStar(R) Button Assembly The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit. The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as follows: ^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer and end calls or initiate speech recognition. ^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to connect to the OnStar(R) call center. ^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed. The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit. When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed. The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will flash red during the call. If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the account status. Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly. Page 11584 Page 9550 1.

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 Restraints - Passenger Presence System Information Seat Occupant Sensor: Technical Service Bulletins Restraints - Passenger Presence System Information INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 06-08-50-009F Date: December 23, 2010 Subject: Information on Passenger Presence Sensing System (PPS or PSS) Concerns With Custom Upholstery, Accessory Seat Heaters or Other Comfort Enhancing Devices Models: 2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks Equipped with Passenger Presence Sensing System Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years.

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 should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 11849 networks, and will not require an upgrade in connection with the cellular industry's transition to the digital network. In order to verify the type of OnStar(R) Hardware in a vehicle, type the VIN into the VIN look-up tool, which is available at the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website within GM GlobalConnect (for U.S. dealers) or InfoNet (for Canadian dealers). Disclaimer Page 7128 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 5655 Tighten the knock sensor-to-engine block bolt to 25 N.m (18 lb ft). 4. Connect the negative battery cable.

This vehicle's PMM is the body control module (BCM). The PMM controls which power mode (Run, Accessory, Crank, Retained Accessory Power, or Off) is active. Serial Data Power Mode Master On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the power mode master (PMM). On this vehicle, the PMM is the body control module (BCM). The PMM receives 3 discrete ignition switch signals to differentiate which power mode will be sent over the Serial Data circuits. The 3-wire Ignition Switch table illustrates the state of these inputs in correspondence to the ignition switch position. Relay Controlled Power Mode The body control module (BCM) uses the discrete ignition switch inputs Off/Run/Crank, Accessory, and ignition 1, to distinguish the correct power mode. The ignition 1 circuit is also routed to the Run/Crank relay for relay controlled power feeds during the appropriate power mode. The BCM, after determining the desired power mode, will activate the appropriate relays for that power mode. Run/Crank Relay The run/crank relay control circuit is connected to a constant ground and is switched by the ignition 1 circuit or the BCM. The BCM, will in lieu of the ignition switch position, activate the Run/Crank relay during a remote start event. The Run/Crank relay supplies a power signal to the following circuits, when the a Run or Crank power mode is selected: Automatic transmission shift indicator - Automatic transmission (A/T) - Switched power feeds to the BCM - Electronic brake control module (EBCM) - Electronic ignition module (spark control) - Electronic power steering module (EPS) - Fuel injectors - Powertrain control module (PCM) - Park neutral position (PNP) switch Accessory (ACC) Relay The adaptive cruise control (ACC) relay is energized when the Run or accessory power mode has been selected. The relay uses a Hot At All Times B+ power source derived from the underhood electrical center. The ACC relay is also energized by the BCM to supply power during the retained accessory power (RAP) mode. The following devices are controlled by this relay: Inside rearview mirror - Heated seats - Power windows - Sunroof - Wiper washers switch Fail-Safe Operation Since the operation of the vehicle systems depends on the power mode, there is a fail-safe plan in place should the power mode master (PMM) fail to send a power mode message. The fail-safe plan covers those modules, using exclusively serial data control of power mode, as well as those modules with discrete ignition signal inputs. Serial Data Messages The modules that depend exclusively on serial data messages for power modes. stay in the state dictated by the last valid PMM message until they can check for the engine run flag status on the serial data circuits. If the PMM fails, the modules monitor the serial data circuit for the engine run flag Page 4825 Metric Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development METRIC PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Page 10720 2.

Use caution when handling or storing a live (undeployed) inflator module. An inflator module deployment produces a rapid generation of gas. This may cause the inflator module, or an object in front of the inflator module, to project through the air in the event of an unlikely deployment. DUAL STAGE INFLATOR MODULE Dual stage inflator modules have two deployment stages. If stage 1 was used to deploy a dual stage inflator module, stage 2 may still be active. Therefore, a deployed dual stage inflator module must be treated as an active module. If disposal of a deployed or undeployed dual stage module is required both deployment loops must be energized to deploy the air bag. SCRAPPING PROCEDURE During the course of a vehicles useful life, you may need to dispose of a live (undeployed) inflator module. Do not dispose of a live (undeployed) inflator module through normal disposal channels until the inflator module has been deployed. The following information covers the proper procedures for the disposing of a live (undeployed) inflator module. Do not deploy the inflator module in the following situations: After replacement of an inflator module under warranty. The inflator module may need to be returned undeployed to the manufacturer. - 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 inflator modules. Follow the instructions in the campaign service bulletin for proper SIR handling procedures. Page 7508 3.

Four Wheel Drive and All Wheel Drive Light Duty Trucks Page 1115 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

Compare the measurement to the J specification. Refer to Trim Height Specifications. 3. If the measurement is outside of the specified range, replace the front springs. 4. Using your hands, lift the rear bumper approximately 38 mm (1.59 in). 5. Gently remove your hands and allow the vehicle to lower. 6. Using your hands, jounce the rear of the vehicle downward approximately 38 mm (1.59 in). 7. Gently remove your hands and allow the vehicle to rise. 8. Measuring the K dimension for the left and right side of the vehicle inboard of the pinch-weld flange at 560 mm (22 in) from the centerline of the rear wheel. 9. Compare the measurement to the K specification. 10. If the measurement is outside of the specified range, replace the rear springs. The Z height dimension measurement determines the proper ride height for the front end of the vehicle. There is no adjustment procedure. Repair may require replacement of suspension components. Use the following procedure to check the Z height dimension: 1. Using your hands, lift the front bumper approximately 38 mm (1.59 in). 2. Gently remove your hands and allow the vehicle to settle 3. Repeat this operation a total of 3 times. 4. Measure at the bottom edge of the support flange and subtract the measurement from the lowest point of the ball stud. This will give you your Z height dimension. 5. Using your hands, jounce the front of the vehicle downward approximately 38 mm (1.59 in). 6. Gently remove your hands and allow the vehicle to settle 7. Repeat the jouncing operation 2 more times. 8. Measure the Z height dimension. 9. The true Z height dimension number is the average of the high and the low measurements. The D height dimension measurement determines the proper rear end ride height. There is no adjustment procedure. Repair may require replacement of suspension components. Page 11907 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

The SIS is not part of the deployment loop, but instead provides an input to the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The SDM contains a microprocessor that performs calculations using the measured accelerations and compares these calculations to a value stored in memory. When the generated calculations exceed the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the deployment loops deploying the side and the roof rail air bags. Page 1924 This service data uses various symbols in order to describe different service operations. Page 11776 ^ SP303 The following modules, components, and splice pack are connected to the star portion of the class 2 serial data circuit: ^ SP300 ^ Audio amplifier ^ Driver door module (DDM) ^ Driver door switch assembly (DDSA) ^ Memory seat module (MSM) ^ Left rear door module (LRDM) AND ^ SP303 ^ Antenna module ^ Front passenger door module (FPDM) ^ Rear integration module (RIM) ^ Right rear door module (RRDM) ^ Theft deterrent module (TDM) ^ Vehicle communication interface module (VCIM). Refer to Data Communication Schematics and Data Link Communications Description and Operation in SI. Part 2 Conditions for Running the DTC Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts. DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current. The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTC A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5 seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication. Action Taken When the DTC Sets The module uses a default value for the missing parameter. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. Diagnostic Aids When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or U1255 is set. Page 9859 4. Loosen the lower steering column mounting bolt.

Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Locations Top of Engine Page 1734 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 8968 Page 10987 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 12340 these systems will then completely power OFF. OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows: ^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA ^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours ^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle communication platforms (VCPs)). Note During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike caused by the following: ^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system. ^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload. OnStar(R) System States of Readiness The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF. ^ High power ^ Low power ^ Sleep ^ Digital standby The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or when the system is performing a remote function. The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or RUN position, or with RAP enabled. The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions. If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby) based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again received. If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the following: ^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate ^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason. ^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded. Page 10891 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 6426 Page 2740 10. Remove the garnish molding from the upper lock pillar. 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. Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs Page 30 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 2213 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 5475 Page 12576 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 5720 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 7448 This service data uses various symbols in order to describe different service operations. Page 13413 7. Remove the rear rail assembly rear extension. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE IMPORTANT: If the location of the original plug weld holes can not be determined, space the plug weld holes every 40 mm (1 1/2 in) apart. 1. Drill 8 mm (5/16 in) plug weld holes in the service part as necessary in the corresponding locations noted on the original panel. 2. Prepare all mating surfaces as necessary. 3. Apply 3M(R) Weld-Thru coating P/N 05916 or equivalent to all mating surfaces. Page 2986 Wheels: Service and Repair Aluminum Wheel Refinishing Aluminum Wheel Refinishing Finish Damage Evaluation Procedure Important: ^ If the wheels are chrome-plated, do not re-plate or refinish the wheels. ^ If the wheels are polished aluminum, do not refinish the wheels in the dealer environment.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 1905 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors.

The table explains the numbering system. Electrical Symbols Page 1507 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-07-30-037D (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS / TRANSFER CASES and POWER STEERING The content of this bulletin does not apply to manual transmissions or transfer cases. Any vehicle that previously required DEXRON(R)-III for a manual transmission or transfer case should now use P/N 88861800. This fluid is labeled Manual Transmission and Transfer Case Fluid. Some manual transmissions and transfer cases require a different fluid. Appropriate references should be checked when servicing any of these components. Power Steering Systems should now use P/N 9985010 labeled Power Steering Fluid. Consult the Parts Catalog, Owner's Manual, or Service Information (SI) for fluid recommendations. Some of our customers and/or General Motors dealerships/Saturn Retailers may have some concerns with DEXRON(R)-VI and DEXRON(R)-III Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and transmission warranty claims. DEXRON(R)-VI is the only approved fluid for warranty repairs for General Motors transmissions/transaxles requiring DEXRON(R)-III and/or prior DEXRON(R) transmission fluids (except as noted above). Please remember that the clean oil reservoirs of the J-45096 - Flushing and Flow Tester machine should be purged of DEXRON(R)-III and filled with DEXRON(R)-VI for testing, flushing or filling General Motors transmissions/transaxles (except as noted above). DEXRON(R)-VI can be used in any proportion in past model vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission/transaxle in place of DEXRON(R)-III (i.e. topping off the fluid in the event of a repair or fluid change). DEXRON(R)-VI is also compatible with any former version of DEXRON(R) for use in automatic transmissions/transaxles. DEXRON(R)-VI ATF General Motors Powertrain has upgraded to DEXRON(R)-VI ATF with the start of 2006 vehicle production. Current and prior automatic transmission models that had used DEXRON(R)-III must now only use DEXRON(R)-VI. Page 4280 Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation IGNITION CONTROL MODULE (ICM) AND IGNITION COILS The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies a signal on each of the ignition control (IC) timing control circuits to the ignition control module (ICM). The ICM fires the correct ignition coil at the correct time based on the signals. The ICM detects if cylinder 1 or cylinder 3 is on the compression stroke by sensing the secondary voltage and polarity of each side of the ignition coil. The ICM detects this voltage with sensing circuitry integrated into each ignition coil. The higher voltage is on the compressing cylinder. This is called compression sense ignition. The ICM provides a synthesized cam signal to the PCM based on these inputs. The PCM uses the cam signal to synchronize fuel injection. This system consists of the following circuits: - An ignition voltage circuit - A ground circuit - A camshaft position (CMP) sensor signal circuit - An IC timing control circuit for cylinders #1 and #4 - An IC timing control B circuit for cylinders #2 and #3 Page 7187 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors.

Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Instruments - DIC Messages Missing Driver/Vehicle Information Display: All Technical Service Bulletins Instruments - DIC Messages Missing Bulletin No.: 05-08-49-011A Date: May 16, 2005 TECHNICAL Subject: Driver Information Center (DIC) Messages Missing (Reprogram BCM) Models: 2004-2005 Chevrolet Malibu 2005 Pontiac G6 Supercede: This bulletin is being updated to provide clarification to enable the Remote Start.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-08-64-020B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment on a creak or squeak noise when opening or closing one or more doors. Cause This condition may be caused by the door check link spring saddle. Correction Important: To prevent overspray from landing on the door glass, make sure all windows are rolled up before applying the lubricant to the check link. Slide the check link grommet back and spray GM Lubriplate(R) Lubricant, P/N 89021668 (in Canada, use P/N 89021674), or equivalent, on the check link saddle using a "straw" type nozzle extension. The nozzle extension should be inserted slightly into the opening above the check link arm and sprayed toward the outside of the door. If the nozzle is inserted too far into the door, it will go past the check link spring saddle and the lubricant will miss its target. Move the nozzle back and forth while spraying to distribute the lubricant. Open and shut the door until the noise is gone. Reinstall the check link grommet in the door.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 9949 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.

Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 10386 5.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-06-01-026B (Section 06 - Engine). When replacing an engine due to internal damage, extreme care should be taken when transferring the intake manifold to the new Goodwrench service engine long block. Internal damage may result in the potential discharge of internal engine component debris in the intake manifold via broken pistons and/or bent, broken, or missing intake valves. After removing the intake manifold from the engine, the technician should carefully inspect all of the cylinder head intake ports to see if the valve heads are still present and not bent. Usually when the valve heads are missing or sufficiently bent, internal engine component debris will be present to varying degrees in the intake port of the cylinder head. If this debris is present in any of the cylinder head intake ports, the intake manifold should be replaced. This replacement is required due to the complex inlet runner and plenum configuration of most of the intake manifolds, making thorough and complete component cleaning difficult and nearly impossible to verify complete removal of debris. Re-installation of an intake manifold removed from an engine with deposits of internal engine component debris may result in the ingestion of any remaining debris into the new Goodwrench service engine. This may cause damage or potential failure of the new service engine. Disclaimer Page 8585 6. Remove the brake rotor. Do not force the rotor off. If the rotor is difficult to remove, ease it off by gently rotating it as you pull outward. Installation Procedure Important: Whenever the brake rotor has been separated from the hub/axle flange, any rust or contaminants should be cleaned from the hub/axle flange and the brake rotor mating surfaces.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-006B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R) will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected. It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure. In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R) module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery. The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes. After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position. If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge. Warranty Information (excluding Saab US Models) For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.

Remove the park brake warning lamp switch (2) from the park brake pedal assembly (1). Installation Procedure Page 1650 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 12472 Left Side Of HVAC Case Page 9838 20.

Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 6473 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 6665 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 630 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks.

Many electrical functions on these vehicles do not directly involve the BCM, even though they may on other vehicles. The cooling fans, for example, are controlled by the engine control module (ECM) on the Malibu, but are controlled by the BCM on the Impala. The BCM is primarily a gateway between the high- and low-speed GMLAN serial data buses on the above listed vehicles. Functions That Do Not Involve the BCM The following list of features and functions are not controlled or dependent on the BCM: Important The BCM should NOT be replaced for conditions in these areas. - Cooling fans - Clock display - Radio display - Power mirrors - OnStar(R) - Rear wiper (on Malibu Maxx) - Warning lamps - Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) - Driver seat belt reminder light and chime - Power windows Important The BCM also acts as a power distribution center and may provide a fused battery feed to the modules that actually do control the above functions. Do not assume a similar control module issue will apply to different vehicle lines. Refer to SI for the appropriate description and operation and diagnostic information. Disclaimer Page 7274 1.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 11393 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one.

In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the microphone. Cellular and GPS Antennas The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas: ^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas. ^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a single part. ^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM). The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna. The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10 minutes to register in the event of a loss of power. Audio System Interface When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle receives a call with the radio ON. On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return to its previous setting. OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it. By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands. The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network. The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body control module (BCM). OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle) The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended. A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2 and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by accessing www.onstarenrollment.com All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After 48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF, Page 7190 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Locations Under I/P Left Of Break Pedal Page 14218 9.

The modules that need real time communication are attached to the high speed GMLAN network. The body control module (BCM) is the gateway between the networks. The purpose of the gateway is to translate serial data messages between the GMLAN high speed buss and the GMLAN low speed buss. The gateway will interact with each network according to that network's transmission protocol. Refer to Body Control System Description and Operation for more information about the gateway. The 2.2L (L61) powertrain control module (PCM) on this vehicle, uses a class 2 serial data buss. The class 2 buss is only used for diagnostics and the service programming system (SPS). During normal vehicle operations, there is no communications over the class 2 serial data buss. Normal vehicle operational messaging for the PCM is sent over the PCMs GMLAN high speed serial data buss. The 3.5L (LX9) PCM does not use a class 2 serial data circuit. GMLAN HIGH SPEED CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the high speed GMLAN serial data circuit. The serial data is transmitted on two twisted wires that allow speed up to 500 Kb/s. The twisted pair is terminated with two 120 ohms resistors, one is internal to the powertrain control module (PCM) or engine control module (ECM) depending on regular production option (RPO) and the other is internal to the body control module (BCM). The BCM is considered the DLC termination point of the link and the engine management controller is the other end of the link. The resistors are used to reduce noise on 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. The idle level, which is approximately 2.5 volts, is considered recessive transmitted data and is interpreted as a logic 1. Driving the lines to their extremes, adds one volt to the high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) and subtracts one volt from the high speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) wire. This dominant state is interpreted as a logic 0. GMLAN network management supports selective start up and is based on virtual networks. A virtual network is a collection of signals started in response to a vehicle event. The starting of a virtual network signifies that a particular aspect of the vehicles functionality has been requested. A virtual network is supported by virtual devices, which represents a collection of signals owned by a single physical device. So, any physical device can have one or more virtual devices. The signal supervision is the process of determining whether an expected signal is being received or not. Fail softing is the ability to substitute a signal with a default value or a default algorithm, in the absence of a valid signal. Some messages are also interpreted as a heartbeat of a virtual device. If such a signal is lost, the application will set a no communication code against the respective virtual device. This code is mapped on the Tech 2 screen as a code against the physical device. NOTE: a loss of serial data DTC does not represent a failure of the module that the code is set in. GMLAN LOW SPEED CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit. The serial data is transmitted over a single wire to the appropriate control modules. 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. This protocol produces a simple pules train sent out over the GMLAN low speed serial data bus. When a module pulls the buss high, 5 volts, this creates a dominant logic state or 0 on the buss. When the buss is pulled low 0 volts, it is translated as a recessive logic state or 1. To wake the control modules connected to the GMLAN low speed serial data buss, a high voltage wake up pulse is sent out over the buss, the voltage level of the pules is +10 volts. Modules connected to the GMLAN low speed buss can be part of a virtual network as described in the previous paragraph. The modules on the GMLAN low speed serial data buss are connected to the buss in a parallel configuration. CLASS 2 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the class 2 serial data circuit. Class 2 serial data is transmitted on a single wire at an average of 10.4 Kbps. The bus is active at 7 volts nominal and inactive at ground potential. When the ignition switch is in RUN, and a scan tool is connected to the DLC, the 2.5L (L61) powertrain control module (PCM) will start communicating diagnostic information over the class 2 serial data circuit. The 3.5L (LX9) PCM does not use a class 2 serial data circuit. 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 GMLAN low speed communications terminal - Pin 2 Class 2 signal terminal 2.5L (L61) - Pin 4 Scan tool power ground terminal - Pin 5 Common signal ground terminal - Pin 6 High speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) terminal - Pin 14 High speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) terminal - Pin 16 Scan tool power, battery positive voltage terminal CLASS 2 SERIAL DATA USAGE The class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle is only used for the 2.2L (L61) powertrain control module (PCM) diagnostics and PCM service programming system (SPS) programming. The 3.5L (LX9) PCM does not use a class 2 serial data circuit. Page 12225 these systems will then completely power OFF. OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows: ^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA ^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours ^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle communication platforms (VCPs)). Note During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike caused by the following: ^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system. ^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload. OnStar(R) System States of Readiness The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF. ^ High power ^ Low power ^ Sleep ^ Digital standby The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or when the system is performing a remote function. The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or RUN position, or with RAP enabled. The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions. If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby) based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again received. If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the following: ^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate ^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason. ^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded. Page 7479 Ignition Control Module (ICM) Page 5376 Page 12695 In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this program enters your vehicle inventory, or is in your dealership/facility for service through April 30, 2011, you must take the steps necessary to be sure the program correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle. Disclaimer Service Procedure Service Procedure Note Do NOT replace the inside rear view mirror in tandem with this concern. The mirror has no bearing on this specific issue. 1.

Note Inform customer that all Bluetooth devices must be paired with the new VCIM. Bluetooth devices that have not been paired to the new VCIM will not function properly. 2. Install the new OnStar(R) module (referred to as the Communication Interface Module (CIM) or Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) in SI). Refer to SI for module installation instructions. Page 1555 Crankshaft Position Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 10366 Recirculation Actuator Page 7224 Page 8911 This service data uses various symbols in order to describe different service operations. Page 6104 English Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development ENGLISH PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Thread Inserts THREAD INSERTS General purpose thread repair kits.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 1598 1. Determine the size, the pitch, and the depth of the damaged thread. If necessary, adjust the stop collars on the cutting tool and tap to the required depth. CAUTION: Refer to Safety Glasses Caution in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Refer to the thread repair kit manufacturer's instructions regarding the size of the drill and tap to use. Avoid any buildup of chips. Back out the tap every few turns and remove the chips. 2. Drill out the damaged threads. Clean out any chips. 3. Lubricate the tap with light engine oil. Tap the hole. Clean the threads. 4. Thread the thread insert onto the mandrel of the installer. Engage the tang of the insert onto the end of the mandrel. 5. Lubricate the insert with light engine oil, except when installing in aluminum and install the insert. IMPORTANT: The insert should be flush to one turn below the surface. 6. If the tang of the insert does not break off when backing out the installer, break the tang off with a drift.

Other symptoms may include extended pedal travel required to shift out of PARK, cruise control does not function correctly, and DTC C0131, C0161 and/or C0277 may be set. Cause The most likely cause of this condition is high resistance due to terminal fretting corrosion in the body control module (BCM) C2 or X2 connector (specifically pins 18, 31 and 59). Correction DO NOT replace the BCM for this condition. Disconnecting the C2 or X2 connector, adding dielectric lubricant and reconnecting the connector per the procedure below will correct the high resistance condition due to terminal fretting corrosion. 1. Remove the right side front floor console side trim panel to access to the Body Control Module (BCM). 2. Locate the C2 or X2 connector on the BCM. 3. Unlatch the connector and disconnect the connector from the BCM. 4. Apply dielectric lubricant (clear gel), GM P/N 12377900 (in Canada, use P/N 10953529) or equivalent, on all the connector pins (apply with a one-inch nylon bristle brush). This will treat the pins against fretting corrosion. 5. Reconnect the connector back on the BCM and re-latch. Wipe away any excess lubricant. 6. Reinstall the right side front floor console side trim panel. 7. Using the Tech 2(R), check that the BPPS ratio is equal to BPPS learned home when the brake pedal is not depressed. - If they are equal, the brake lamps should be operating correctly and no further steps are necessary. - If they are not equal, perform the Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration procedure in SI to complete the repair. 8. Verify proper operation of the brake lights. If incorrect, refer to SI and perform normal diagnostics. Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Page 10572 Flushing Procedures using DEX-COOL(R) Important: The following procedure recommends refilling the system with DEX-COOL(R), P/N 12346290 (in Canada, use P/N 10953464), GM specification 6277M. This coolant is orange in color and has a service interval of 5 years or 240,000 km (150,000 mi). However, when used on vehicles built prior to the introduction of DEX-COOL(R), maintenance intervals will remain the same as specified in the Owner's Manual. ^ If available, use the approved cooling system flush and fill machine (available through the GM Dealer Equipment Program) following the manufacturer's operating instructions. ^ If approved cooling system flush and fill machine is not available, drain the coolant and dispose of properly following the draining procedures in the appropriate Service Manual. Refill the system using clear, drinkable water and run the vehicle until the thermostat opens. Repeat and run the vehicle three (3) times to totally remove the old coolant or until the drained coolant is almost clear. Once the system is completely flushed, refill the cooling system to a 50%-60% concentration with DEX‐COOL(R), P/N 12346290 (in Canada, use P/N 10953464), GM specification 6277M, following the refill procedures in the appropriate Service Manual. If a Service Manual is not available, fill half the capacity of the system with 100% DEX-COOL(R), P/N 12346290 (in Canada, use P/N 10953464), GM specification 6277M. Then slowly add clear, drinkable water (preferably distilled) to the system until the level of the coolant mixture has reached the base of the radiator neck. Wait two (2) minutes and reverify the coolant level. If necessary, add clean water to restore the coolant to the appropriate level. Once the system is refilled, reverify the coolant concentration using a Refractometer J 23688 (Fahrenheit scale) or J 26568 (centigrade scale) coolant tester, or equivalent. The concentration levels should be between 50% and 65%. Flushing Procedures using Conventional Silicated (Green Colored) Coolant Important: 2004-2005 Chevrolet Aveo (Pontiac Wave, Canada Only) does not use DEX‐COOL(R). The Aveo and Wave are filled with conventional, silicated engine coolant that is blue in color. Silicated coolants are typically green in color and are required to be drained, flushed and refilled every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The Aveo and Wave are to be serviced with conventional, silicated coolant. Use P/N 12378560 (1 gal) (in Canada, use P/N 88862159 (1 L). Refer to the Owner's Manual or Service Information (SI) for further information on OEM coolant. Important: Do not mix the OEM orange colored DEX-COOL(R) coolant with green colored coolant when adding coolant to the system or when servicing the vehicle's cooling system. Mixing the orange and green colored coolants will produce a brown coolant which may be a customer dissatisfier and will not extend the service interval to that of DEX-COOL(R). Conventional silicated coolants offered by GM Service and Parts Operations are green in color. ^ If available, use the approved cooling system flush and fill machine (available through the GM Dealer Equipment Program) following the manufacturer's operating instructions. ^ If approved cooling systems flush and fill machine is not available, drain coolant and dispose of properly following the draining procedures in appropriate Service Manual. Refill the system using clear, drinkable water and run vehicle until thermostat opens. Repeat and run vehicle three (3) times to totally remove old coolant or until drained coolant is almost clear. Once the system is completely flushed, refill the cooling system to a 50%-60% concentration with a good quality ethylene glycol base engine coolant, P/N 12378560, 1 gal (in Canada, use P/N 88862159 1 L), conforming to GM specification 1825M, or recycled coolant conforming to GM specification 1825M, following the refill procedures in the appropriate Service Manual. If a Service Manual is not available, fill half the capacity of the system with 100% good quality ethylene glycol base (green colored) engine coolant, P/N 12378560 1 gal., (in Canada, use P/N 88862159 1 L) conforming to GM specification 1825M. Then slowly add clear, drinkable water (preferably distilled) to system until the level of the coolant mixture has reached the base of the radiator neck. Wait two (2) minutes and recheck coolant level. If necessary, add clean water to restore coolant to the appropriate level. Once the system is refilled, recheck the coolant concentration using a Refractometer J 23688 (Fahrenheit scale) or J 26568 (centigrade scale) coolant tester, or equivalent. Concentration levels should be between 50% and 65%. Parts Information Warranty Information Page 2216 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 4091 Important: Saturn U.S. retailers must verify recall involvement by running a National Vehicle History (NVH) prior to performing repairs.

If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 9109 Page 11010 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 3194 Parts Information Warranty Information Page 8647 5. Remove the brake pads from the brake caliper bracket. 6.

Refer to Data Communication Schematics and Data Link Communications Description and Operation in SI. Part 2 Conditions for Running the DTC Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts. DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current. The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTC A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5 seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication. Action Taken When the DTC Sets The module uses a default value for the missing parameter. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. Diagnostic Aids When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or U1255 is set. Page 9768 products. Scott Lawson Director, Customer and Relationship Services Enclosure 10183 Page 10131 Suspension Spring ( Coil / Leaf ): Service and Repair Coil Spring Insulators Replacement Coil Spring Insulators Replacement Removal Procedure 1.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3.

Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. OnStar(R) - Aftermarket Device Interference Information Navigation System: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Aftermarket Device Interference Information INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 08-08-46-004 Date: August 14, 2008 Subject: Information on Aftermarket Device Interference with OnStar(R) Diagnostic Services Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Car and Truck (including Saturn) 2009 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 Models 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1) This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer service personnel with information regarding aftermarket devices connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) and the impact to OnStar(R) diagnostic probes and Vehicle Diagnostic e-mails. Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices, interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call) by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail. These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations. The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern. When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail, verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed (i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 8551 6.

The powertrain control module (PCM) is the control center of this system. The PCM monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions. The PCM constantly looks at the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls the systems that affect vehicle performance and emissions. The PCM also performs the diagnostic tests on various parts of the system. The PCM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver via the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). When the PCM detects a malfunction, the PCM stores a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. Review the components and wiring diagrams in order to determine which systems are controlled by the PCM. The following are some of the functions that the PCM controls: The engine fueling - The ignition control (IC) - The knock sensor (KS) system - The evaporative emissions (EVAP) system - The secondary air injection (AIR) system (if equipped) - The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system - The automatic transmission functions - The generator - The A/C clutch control - The cooling fan control POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE FUNCTION The powertrain control module (PCM) constantly looks at the information from various sensors and other inputs and controls systems that affect vehicle performance and emissions. The PCM also performs diagnostic tests on various parts of the system. The PCM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver via the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). When the PCM detects a malfunction, the PCM stores a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. The input and output devices in the PCM include analog-to-digital converters, signal buffers, counters, and output drivers. The output drivers are electronic switches that complete a ground or voltage circuit when turned on. Most PCM controlled components are operated via output drivers. The PCM monitors these driver circuits for proper operation and, in most cases, can set a DTC corresponding to the controlled device if a problem is detected. MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) OPERATION The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located in the instrument panel cluster. The MIL will display as either SERVICE ENGINE SOON or one of the following symbols when commanded ON: The MIL indicates that an emissions related fault has occurred and vehicle service is required. The following is a list of the modes of operation for the MIL: The MIL illuminates when the ignition is turned ON, with the engine OFF. This is a bulb test to ensure the MIL is able to illuminate. - The MIL turns OFF after the engine is started if a diagnostic fault is not present. Page 5329 Listed are Registered Trademarks ((R)) or Non-Registered Trademarks ((TM)) which may appear in this service data.

Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 4499 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape.

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 651 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5.

Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with it, the DTC will only be reported once. The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them: Page 12976 Test Description DTC U1001 and U1254 Circuit/System Description Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to the 3-digit identification number is set. Page 5113 Page 5038 Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection SPARK PLUG INSPECTION SPARK PLUG USAGE - Ensure that the correct spark plug is installed. An incorrect spark plug causes driveability conditions. Refer to Ignition System Specifications for the correct spark plug. - 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 - Inspect the terminal post (1) for damage. Inspect for a bent or broken terminal post (1). - Test for a loose terminal post (1) by twisting and pulling the post. The terminal post (1) should NOT move. - Inspect the insulator (2) for flashover or carbon tracking, 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. - Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack instead of the electrodes (3, 4). Service and Repair Relay Box: Service and Repair UNDERHOOD ELECTRICAL CENTER OR JUNCTION BLOCK REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 12872 For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.

Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1.

This helps prevent moisture from Page 7197 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 12495 For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Disclaimer Page 14008 1.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Powertrain Control Module (PCM) POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) DESCRIPTION POWERTRAIN The powertrain has electronic controls to reduce exhaust emissions while maintaining excellent driveability and fuel economy. The powertrain control module (PCM) is the control center of this system. The PCM monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions. The PCM constantly looks at the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls the systems that affect vehicle performance and emissions. The PCM also performs the diagnostic tests on various parts of the system. The PCM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver via the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). When the PCM detects a malfunction, the PCM stores a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. Review the components and wiring diagrams in order to determine which systems are controlled by the PCM. The following are some of the functions that the PCM controls: The engine fueling - The ignition control (IC) - The knock sensor (KS) system - The evaporative emissions (EVAP) system - The secondary air injection (AIR) system (if equipped) - The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system - The automatic transmission functions - The generator - The A/C clutch control - The cooling fan control POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE FUNCTION The powertrain control module (PCM) constantly looks at the information from various sensors and other inputs and controls systems that affect vehicle performance and emissions.

The input and output devices in the PCM include analog-to-digital converters, signal buffers, counters, and output drivers. The output drivers are electronic switches that complete a ground or voltage circuit when turned on. Most PCM controlled components are operated via output drivers. The PCM monitors these driver circuits for proper operation and, in most cases, can set a DTC corresponding to the controlled device if a problem is detected. MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) OPERATION The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located in the instrument panel cluster. The MIL will display as either SERVICE ENGINE SOON or one of the following symbols when commanded ON: The MIL indicates that an emissions related fault has occurred and vehicle service is required. The following is a list of the modes of operation for the MIL: The MIL illuminates when the ignition is turned ON, with the engine OFF. This is a bulb test to ensure the MIL is able to illuminate. - The MIL turns OFF after the engine is started if a diagnostic fault is not present. Page 11112 Seat Belt Buckle: Service and Repair Center Rear (Sedan) SEAT BELT BUCKLE REPLACEMENT - CENTER REAR (SEDAN) The center rear seat belt buckle is replaced with the center belt retractor. Page 4547 Page 2369 Page 1395 5.

Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 3969 Page 9864 1.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 3900 4.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 10653 IMPORTANT: Do not adjust any controls on the HVAC control module while the HVAC control module is calibrating.

Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Disclaimer Page 4307 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 7674 Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid: Service and Repair Torque Converter Clutch Pulse Width Modulation (TCC PWM) Solenoid Replacement Replacement Procedure Important: Retainer clips hold in each of the valve line-ups.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. A/C - Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Equipment Refrigerant: Technical Service Bulletins A/C - Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Equipment Bulletin No.: 08-01-38-001 Date: January 25, 2008 INFORMATION Subject: Information On New GE-48800 CoolTech Refrigerant Recovery/Recharge Equipment Models: 2008 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2008 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2005-2008 Saab 9-7X Attention: This bulletin is being issued to announce the release of GM approved Air Conditioning (A/C) Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging Equipment that meets the new Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J2788 Refrigerant Recovery Standards.

This equipment is SAE J2788 compliant and meets GM requirements for A/C Refrigerant System Repairs on all General Motors vehicles, including Hybrid systems with Polyolester (POE) refrigerant oil. This equipment will not be shipped as an essential tool to GM Dealerships. In addition, this equipment is Hybrid compliant and designed to prevent oil cross contamination when servicing Hybrid vehicles with Electric A/C Compressors that use POE refrigerant oil. The ACR2000 (J-43600) will need to be retrofitted with a J-43600-50 (Hose - ACR2000 Oil Flush Loop) to be able to perform Hybrid A/C service work. All Hybrid dealers will receive the J-43600-50, with installation instructions, as a component of the Hybrid essential tool package. Dealerships that do not sell Hybrids, but may need to service Hybrids, can obtain J-43600-50 from SPX Kent Moore. Refer to GM Bulletin 08-01-39-001 for the ACR2000 Hose Flush procedure. The High Voltage (HV) electric A/C compressor used on Two Mode Hybrid vehicles uses a Polyolester (POE) refrigerant oil instead of a Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) synthetic refrigerant oil. This is due to the better electrical resistance of the POE oil and its ability to provide HV isolation. Failure to flush the hoses before adding refrigerant to a Hybrid vehicle with an electric A/C compressor may result in an unacceptable amount of PAG oil entering the refrigerant system. It may cause a Battery Energy Control Module Hybrid Battery Voltage System Isolation Lost Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC P1AE7) to be set. Additionally, the A/C system warranty will be voided. Warranty Submission Requirements The Electronically Generated Repair Data (snapshot summary) and printer functions have been eliminated from the GE-48800. The VGA display and temperature probes were eliminated to reduce equipment costs. As a result, effective immediately the 18 digit "Snapshot/Charge Summary" code is no longer required for Air Conditioning (A/C) refrigerant system repairs that are submitted for warranty reimbursement. The charge summary data from before and after system repairs will continue to required, but documented on the repair order only. Both high and low pressures and the recovery and charge amounts should be noted during the repair and entered on the repair order. If using ACR2000 (J-43600), the "Snapshot/Charge Summary" printouts should continue to be attached to the shops copy of the repair order. The labor codes that are affected by this requirement are D3000 through D4500.

Disconnect the electronic ignition (EI) module harness connector. 3. Remove the Electronic Ignition (EI) module attachment screws and the EI module. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 1. Install the EI module and the attachment screws. NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Make sure the interconnect is lined up and the interconnect seal is in place before installing the attachment screws. Tighten the EI module screws to 1.5 N.m (13 lb in). 2. Connect the module harness connector. Push in the connector until a click is heard, then pull back to confirm a positive engagement. Page 4363 Engine Coolant Temperature (ETC) Sensor Page 3996 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 6776 Page 3662 Description and Operation Throttle Body: Description and Operation THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY The throttle assembly contains the following components: - The throttle blade - The throttle actuator motor - The throttle position (TP) sensor 1 and 2 The throttle body functions similar to a conventional throttle body with the following exceptions: - An electric motor opens and closes the throttle valve. - The throttle blade is spring loaded in both directions and the default position is slightly open. - There are 2 individual TP sensors within the throttle body assembly. The TP sensors are used to determine the throttle plate angle. The TP sensors provide the powertrain control module (PCM) with a signal voltage proportional to throttle plate movement. The TP sensor 1 signal voltage at closed throttle is near the 5-volt reference and decreases as the throttle plate is opened. The TP sensor 2 signal voltage at closed throttle is near the low reference and increases as the throttle plate is opened. Page 12349 The control module ID number list above provides a method for determining which module is not communicating. A module with a class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during the current ignition cycle will have a Loss of Communication DTC set by other modules that depend on information from that failed module. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC indicating the module that cannot communicate. Diagnostic Order When more than one Loss of Communication DTC is set in either one module or in several modules, diagnose the DTCs in the following order: 1. Current DTCs before history DTCs unless told otherwise in the diagnostic table. 2. The DTC which is reported the most times. 3. From the lowest number DTC to the highest number DTC. Conditions for Running the DTC The following DTCs do not have a current status: ^ B1327 ^ B1328 ^ U1300 ^ U1301 ^ U1305 AND ^ The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTC A node alive message has not been received from a module with a learned identification number within the last 5 seconds. Action Taken When the DTC Sets Page 9648 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. Page 1748 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown.

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.

The front end sensor is an electronic sensor and is not part of the deployment loops, but instead provides an input to the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The front end sensor can assist in determining the severity of some frontal collisions. The SDM contains a microprocessor which performs calculations using the measured accelerations and compares these calculations to a value stored in memory. When the generated calculations exceed the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the frontal deployment loops deploying the frontal air bags. Page 7052 Page 8579 Brake Rotor/Disc: Technical Service Bulletins Brakes - Rotor/Drum Refinishing Labor Operations Bulletin No.: 06-05-22-007 Date: November 30, 2006 WARRANTY ADMINISTRATION Subject: Brake Rotor/Drum Refinishing Labor Operations Models: 2005-2007 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2005-2007 HUMMER H2 2006-2007 HUMMER H3 2005-2007 Saab 9-7X (Canada Only) The purpose of this bulletin is to advise dealership personnel of labor operation changes relating to brake repairs.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 12810 Page 11918 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Page 9647 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 Page 6692 Diagram Information and Instructions Radiator Cooling Fan Motor Relay: Diagram Information and Instructions Passenger Car Zoning PASSENGER CAR ZONING All grounds, in-line connectors, pass-through grommets, and splices have identifying numbers that correspond to where they are located in the vehicle.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 2722 1. Remove the key from the ignition switch. 2. Connect both front end sensors connector to the front end sensor (1). 3.

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

Next, record the Hertz (Hz) reading as displayed by the EVA onto the tire data worksheet found at the end of this bulletin. This should be done after a tire break-in period of at least 16 km (10 mi) at 72 km/h (45 mph) or greater, in order to eliminate any possible tire flat-spotting. This reading confirms what the vehicle vibration frequency is prior to vehicle service and documents the amount of improvement occurring as the result of the various steps taken to repair. Completing the Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet below is required. A copy of the completed worksheet must be saved with the R.O. and a copy included with any parts returned to the Warranty Parts Center for analysis. A reading of 35 to 50 Hz typically indicates a first order propshaft vibration. If this is the situation, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-07-30-044D. Generally, a reading between 10 and 20 Hz indicates a tire/wheel vibration and if this is the reading obtained, continue using this bulletin. If the tire 1st order vibration goes away and stays away during this evaluation, the cause is likely tire flat-spotting. Tire flat-spotting vibration may come and go at any speed over 72 km/h (45 mph) during the first 10 minutes of operation, if vibration continues after 10 minutes of driving at speeds greater than 72 km/h (45 mph), tire flat-spotting can be ruled out as the cause for vibration. 6. If flat-spotting is the cause, provide the explanation that this has occurred due to the vehicle being parked for long periods of time and that the nature of the tire is to take a set. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E: Information on Tire/Wheel Characteristics (Vibration, Balance, Shake, Flat Spotting) of GM Original Equipment Tires. 7. If the road test indicates a shake/vibration exists, check the imbalance of each tire/wheel assembly on a known, calibrated, off-car dynamic balancer.Make sure the mounting surface of the wheel and the surface of the balancer are absolutely clean and free of debris. Be sure to chose the proper cone/collet for the wheel, and always use the pilot bore for centering. Never center the wheel using the hub-cap bore since it is not a precision machined surface. If any assembly calls for more than 1/4 ounce on either rim flange, remove all balance weights and rebalance to as close to zero as possible. If you can see the vibration (along with feeling it) in the steering wheel (driving straight without your hands on the wheel), it is very likely to be a tire/wheel first order (one pulse per revolution) disturbance. First order disturbances can be caused by imbalance as well as non-uniformities in tires, wheels or hubs. This first order frequency is too low for a human to hear, but if the amplitude is high enough, it can be seen. If a vibration or shake still exists after balancing, any out of round conditions, of the wheel, and force variation conditions of the tire, must be addressed. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 can address both (it is also a wheel balancer). Tire radial force vibration (RFV) can be defined as the amount of stiffness variation the tire will produce in one revolution under a constant load. Radial force variation is what the vehicle feels because the load (weight) of the vehicle is always on the tires. Although free runout of tires (not under load) is not always a good indicator of a smooth ride, it is critical that total tire/wheel assembly runout be within specification. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 loads the tire, similar to on the vehicle, and measures radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Note that the wheel is affecting the tire's RFV measurement at this point. To isolate the wheel, its runout must be measured. This can be easily done on the Hunter, without the need to set up dial indicators. If the wheel meets the runout specification, the tire's RFV can then be addressed. After measuring the tire/wheel assembly under load, and the wheel alone, the machine then calculates (predicts) the radial force variation of the tire. However, because this is a prediction that can include mounting inaccuracies, and the load wheel is much smaller in diameter than used in tire production, this type of service equipment should NOT be used to audit new tires. Rather, it should be used as a service diagnostic tool to minimize radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 does an excellent job of measuring wheel runout, and of finding the low point of the wheel (for runout) and the high point of the tire (for radial force variation). This allows the tire to be matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly force variation. The machine will simplify this process into easy steps. The following assembly radial force variation numbers should be used as a guide: When measuring RFV and match mounting tires perform the following steps. Measuring Wheel Runout and Assembly Radial Force Variation Important The completed worksheet at the end of this bulletin must be attached to the hard copy of the repair order. - Measure radial force variation and radial runout. - If a road force/balancing machine is used, record the radial force variation (RFV) on the worksheet at the end of this bulletin. It may be of benefit to have the lowest RFV assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires onto the subject vehicle. - If a runout/balancing machine is used, record the radial runout of the tire/wheel assemblies on the worksheet at the end of this bulletin. If one or more of the tire/wheel assemblies are more than.040 in (1.02 mm), match mount the tire to the wheel to get below.040 in (1.02 mm). For sensitive customers, readings of 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) or less are preferable, it may also be of benefit to have the lowest runout assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires Page 1686 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 8786 10.

Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5.

Disclaimer Restraints - Extender Availability For Seat Belt Seat Belt Extension: Technical Service Bulletins Restraints - Extender Availability For Seat Belt INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 99-09-40-005F Date: June 23, 2010 Subject: Seat Belt Extender Availability Models: 2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2009 and Prior HUMMER H2 2010 and Prior HUMMER H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2009‐2011 model years and update the Warranty Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 99-09-40-005E (Section 09 Restraints). Important: DO NOT use belt extenders when securing a child restraint. The seat and shoulder belt restraint systems used in all General Motors vehicles have sufficient belt length to accommodate most drivers and passengers. Consequently, requests for belt extensions (extenders) should be minimal. Seat belt extenders are available ONLY IN BLACK for most GM passenger cars and trucks produced in recent years. They are available in two different lengths, 23 cm (9 in) and 38 cm (15 in). They are designed to be coupled with the existing belts in each vehicle. When in use, the extender makes the belt arrangement a "custom fit" and use by anyone else or in another vehicle will lessen or nullify the protection offered by the vehicle's restraint system. For this reason, it is extremely important that the correct length extender be used for the vehicle and occupant intended. Important: Do not use an extender just to make it easier to buckle the safety belt. Use an extender only when you cannot buckle the safety belt without using an extender. Parts Information For part numbers, usage and availability of extenders, see Extension Kit in Group 14.875 (cars) or Group 16.714 (trucks) of the appropriate parts catalog. Saturn retailers should refer to the appropriate model year Parts & Illustration catalog for the vehicle. U.S. Saab dealers should contact the Parts Help line. Canadian Saab dealers should fax requests to Partech Canada. Warranty Information ^ Seat belt extenders are a NO CHARGE item to all GM customers who request them for their specific vehicles. ^ Dealers should not be charging part costs since these extenders are supplied by GM to the dealers. ^ Dealers should not be charging labor costs since the extender can be customer installed.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 1482 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals.

Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 9557 1.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 438 If you are unsure who the PSC is, check with the Sales Manager. General Information 1. The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear, or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have a no power/no communication condition. 2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com. 3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle. Note: If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module. 4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original analog production or digital upgrade. 5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required for a new module replacement. Do not discard. 6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. Page 4977 Listed are Registered Trademarks ((R)) or Non-Registered Trademarks ((TM)) which may appear in this service data.

Program Overview Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008. Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007 issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website. Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect. Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC). Page 4923 1.

Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 2783 Application Table Part 1 Locations Behind Right Side Of Instrument Panel Compartment Page 3691 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Specifications Page 2237 Page 4033 Body Control Module (BCM) C3 Part 1 Page 5834 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown. Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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 Page 5189 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3. Use the proper pick or removal tool (1) in order to release the terminal. Page 45 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 5809 Page 461 Conditions for Running the DTC Ignition is in RUN or ACC position System voltage is between 9.5 - 15.5 volts.

Place additional EN 45680-863 metal shaving catch plugs into all remaining cylinder bore sleeves. NOTE: Installing the metal shaving catch plug EN 45680-863 deeper than the recommended depth will create a decrease in vacuum system performance. A decrease in vacuum system performance will cause metal shavings to enter the engine and cause engine failure. Note: Installing the metal shaving catch plug EN 45680-863 above the recommended depth will cause damage to the metal shaving catch plug EN 45680-863. 4. Ensure that the EN 45680-863 metal shaving catch plug is 3.0 mm (0.12 in) below the top surface of the cylinder bore sleeve. Important: Before using EN 45680-861 trim tool assembly, the height of the cutting blades must be set to the proper specification. The proper specification is that the cylinder bore sleeve flange must be flush to +0.02 mm (0.0008 in) above the block deck surface. 5. The groove side of the EN 45680-862 set gage ring (1) should be positioned upward on a flat surface. Page 12257 Diagnostic Tips Review # 2 - Delphi Legacy Navigation Radio Page 5855 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 9826 5.

Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors: ^ Tire construction Variability in the tire construction may produce lead/pull. The rear tires will not cause lead/pull. ^ Wheel alignment ^ Brake Drag ^ Unbalanced steering gear Visual/Physical Inspection ^ Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of any of the suspension sub-systems. ^ Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom. ^ Inspect for proper tire size and inflation pressure. ^ Inspect for abnormal tire wear. Vehicle Leads/Pulls Alignment Diagnosis and Repair Front cross-caster and front cross-camber are the only wheel alignment parameters that influence lead or pull. If the vehicle leads/pulls to the left after performing the steps listed in SI Document ID, and the front wheel alignment parameters are found to be in specification, adjust the front left and/or right camber to achieve a cross-camber of -0.50° to -0.75°. Refer to Front Camber Adjustment, SI Document. The cross-camber is the difference between the left side camber and the right side camber (cross-camber = LH camber-RH camber). Positive cross-camber may cause the vehicle to pull to the left. For example: If the vehicle pulls to the left, adjust the cross-camber more negative and vice-versa. Steering Position and Torque Sensor Calibration Important: ONLY perform the steering position sensor and torque sensor recalibration procedure after the tires, suspension and alignment specifications have been inspected and/or corrected and the vehicle still exhibits a lead or pull condition. Failure to do so may result in additional customer lead and or pull concerns. After inspecting the suspension, tires and alignment, and if the vehicle still leads or/pulls, it may be necessary to recalibrate the steering position sensor and torque sensor. Refer to Control Module Setup, SI Document ID. Page 11430 OnStar(R) - Analog/Digital Ready System Digital Upgrade Technical Service Bulletin # 05-08-46-006Q Date: 081028 OnStar(R) - Analog/Digital Ready System Digital Upgrade INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 05-08-46-006Q Date: October 28, 2008 Subject: Information on Upgrading Certain OnStar(R) Analog/Digital-Ready Systems to OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable System Models Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the upgrade kit installation information for the 2001 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 1502 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 2057 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 6413 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 7466 Steering - Tilt Wheel Release Lever Inoperative/Broken Tilt Wheel Handle: All Technical Service Bulletins Steering - Tilt Wheel Release Lever Inoperative/Broken TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 09-02-35-006 Date: August 11, 2009 Subject: Steering Column Tilt Wheel Release Lever Inoperative/Broken (Replace Tilt Wheel Release Lever Kit and/or Release Lever Retainer (Tilt Teeth)) Models: 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic 2004-2007 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx 2008-2009 Chevrolet Malibu 2005-2009 Pontiac G6 2007-2009 Saturn AURA Condition Some customers may comment that the steering column tilt wheel release lever is inoperative or broken. Cause This condition may be caused by the internal tilt lever mechanisms, or the tilt teeth retainers on the steering column, becoming worn or damaged.

Engines other than the ones listed in this bulletin that diagnosis indicates having restricted injectors should have those injectors replaced. Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model year to 2009 and to provide applicable engine RPO table. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 03-06-04-030F (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System). Condition Some customers may comment on any of the following various driveability symptoms: - Extended Crank Time - Hard to Start - MIL/SES Illuminated with DTCs - Hesitation - Lack of Power - Surge or Chuggle - Rough Idle - Light or Intermittent Misfire Cause Due to various factors, the fuel injectors may become restricted. Extensive testing has demonstrated that fuel related issues are the cause of clogged injectors. At this point, no specific fuel, fuel constituent, or engine condition has been identified as causing the restriction. The restriction causes the engine to operate at a lean air fuel ratio. This may either trigger the MIL to illuminate or the engine to develop various driveability symptoms. Correction Page 3704 Page 6773 Page 5965 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 3265 Engine Mount: Service and Repair Engine Support Fixture Engine Support Fixture ^ Tools Required J 28467-B Universal Engine Support Fixture - J 36462 Engine Support Adapter Leg Installation Procedure 1.

Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005 Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued September 2008. Condition In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On Star(R) is unable to continue analog service. OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However, since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call, the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained. Special Policy Adjustment At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service will be made at no charge to the customer. This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles. Vehicles Involved Page 4878 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 12387 Front Suspension Wheel Bearing: Service and Repair Front Suspension Wheel Bearing/Hub Replacement - Front ^ Tools Required J 42129 Wheel Hub Removal Removal Procedure 1.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 8908 4.

Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 3. Remove the key from the ignition switch. 4. Locate the body control module (BCM) fuse center then remove fuse center cover. 5. Locate and remove the AIR BAG (IGN) and AIR BAG (BATT) fuses from the BCM fuse center. IMPORTANT: This inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) has two fused power inputs. To ensure there is no unwanted SIR deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs, remove both AIR BAG (IGN) and AIR BAG (BATT) fuses from the BCM fuse center. With the AIR BAG fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate an SIR system malfunction. 6. To disable the seat belt pretensioner-LF go to step 7. To disable the roof rail module-left go to step 10 and for the side impact sensor (SIS)-Left go to step 13. 7. Remove the lower center pillar trim. 8. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) from the seat belt pretensioner-LF connector. Page 4857 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 13522 For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Disclaimer Technical Service Bulletin # 05055 Date: 050512 Campaign - Incorrect Door Hinge Bolts Incorrect Door Hinge Bolt # 05055 - (May 12, 2005) Models: 2005 Chevrolet Malibu, Malibu Maxx, Cobalt 2005 Pontiac Pursuit An involved VIN listing is contained in the Administrative Message (U.S.) or Dealer Communication (Canada).

Open the front door. Page 9242 C500 Body Harness to Left Front Door Harness Part 1 Page 13165 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 6229 Page 8806 Service and Repair Exhaust Pipe: Service and Repair Intermediate Pipe Replacement (2.2L Engine) Removal Procedure 1. Remove the muffler assembly. 2. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) retainer (1). 3. Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) electrical connector (2). 4. Important: The HO2S uses a permanently attached pigtail and connector. This pigtail should not be removed from the sensor. Damage or removal of the pigtail or connector will affect proper operation of the sensor. Remove the HO2S. Page 5702 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 7158 Page 7799 Shift Solenoid: Diagrams Shift Lock Control Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control Connector End Views Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control Solenoid Page 2276 lock cylinder in the latch assembly.

Note During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike caused by the following: ^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system. ^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload. OnStar(R) System States of Readiness The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF. ^ High power ^ Low power ^ Sleep ^ Digital standby The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or when the system is performing a remote function. The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or RUN position, or with RAP enabled. The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions. If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby) based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again received. If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the following: ^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate ^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason. ^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded. Page 7441 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-08-64-020B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment on a creak or squeak noise when opening or closing one or more doors. Cause This condition may be caused by the door check link spring saddle. Correction Important: To prevent overspray from landing on the door glass, make sure all windows are rolled up before applying the lubricant to the check link. Slide the check link grommet back and spray GM Lubriplate(R) Lubricant, P/N 89021668 (in Canada, use P/N 89021674), or equivalent, on the check link saddle using a "straw" type nozzle extension. The nozzle extension should be inserted slightly into the opening above the check link arm and sprayed toward the outside of the door. If the nozzle is inserted too far into the door, it will go past the check link spring saddle and the lubricant will miss its target. Move the nozzle back and forth while spraying to distribute the lubricant. Open and shut the door until the noise is gone. Reinstall the check link grommet in the door.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 6783 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 7373 Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is a permanent magnet generator, known as a variable reluctance sensor. The CKP sensor produces an AC voltage of different amplitude and frequency. The frequency depends on the velocity of the crankshaft. The AC voltage output depends on the crankshaft position and the battery voltage. The CKP sensor works in conjunction with a 7X reluctor wheel attached to the crankshaft. The CKP sensor produces 7 pulses for each revolution of the crankshaft. The pulse from the 10-degree notch is known as the sync pulse. The sync pulse is used to synchronize the coil firing sequence with the crankshaft position. The CKP sensor is used for ignition timing, the fuel injector timing, misfire diagnostics and tachometer display. The CKP sensor is connected to the ECM by a signal circuit and a low reference circuit. Page 4564 3.

Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 7700 Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Service and Repair Park/Neutral Position (PNP) Switch Replacement ^ Tools Required J 41545 Park/Neutral Switch Aligner Removal Procedure 1.

Remove the transaxle range switch lever nut and lever. Page 3245 2. 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. 3. The installation of a drive belt that is two wide or two narrow will cause wear on the drive belt. The drive belt ribs should match all of the grooves on all of the pulleys. 4. This inspection is to verify the drive belt 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. Drive Belt Falls Off Drive Belt Falls Off 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.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 5533 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 3902 8. Install the HO2S. ^ Tighten the sensor to 42 Nm (31 ft. lbs.). 9.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 13729 The latch and its backing plate have been removed on the above illustration to show the location for the lube. 2. Allow the latch to completely thaw and apply compressed air for two seconds to the latch to force out any moisture. Refer to the above illustration (slashed area) for the location. Spray GM Super Lube(R) on BOTH sides of the latch detent lever for approximately two to three seconds. Refer to the above illustration (slashed area) for the lube location.

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

If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Locations Right Rear Of Engine Compartment Page 6025 Powertrain Control Module (PCM) C2 Part 3 Page 8722 Wheel Cylinder: Specifications Wheel Cylinder Bleeder Valve .............................................................................................................................................................. 11 Nm (97 inch lbs.)

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 9436 Fuse: Application and ID Location View Location View Page 17 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 4439 2.

Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to the 3-digit identification number is set. Page 5596 Knock Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 5087 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 1557 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 6179 Metric Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development METRIC PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Page 2892 Caution: Before installing the wheels, remove any buildup of corrosion on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or disc mounting surface by scraping and wire brushing. Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This can cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is moving, causing loss of control and possibly personal injury. Important: Wheel nuts, studs, and mounting surfaces must be clean and dry. 1. Remove any corrosion or foreign material from the wheel and the hub mounting surfaces. 2. Clean the threads on the wheel studs and wheel nuts. 3. Install the tire and wheel assembly. Align the locating mark of the wheel to the hub. 4. Install the wheel nuts. Notice: A torque wrench or J 39544 must be used to ensure that wheel nuts are tightened to specification. Never use lubricants or penetrating fluids on wheel stud, nuts, or mounting surfaces, as this can raise the actual torque on the nut without a corresponding torque reading on the torque wrench. Wheel nuts, studs, and mounting surfaces must be clean and dry. Failure to follow these instructions could result in wheel, nut, and/or stud damage. Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Important: Tighten the nuts evenly and alternately in the sequence shown, in order to avoid excessive runout. 5.

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. Page 7310 Page 8934 Generator Page 8572 - It is not necessary to replace rotors in pairs. Rotors may be replaced individually. However, caution should be exercised, as a variance in surface finish may cause a brake pull condition. - New rotors should not be refinished before installation. Original equipment rotor surfaces are ground to ensure smooth finish and parallelism between mounting and friction surfaces. If a new rotor has more than 0.050 mm (0.002 in) Lateral Run Out (LRO) when properly mounted on the hub, correct it using one of the following methods: 1. For hubless rotor designs, use the correction plate procedure found in the "GM Brake Service Procedure for Hubless Rotors" outlined in this bulletin. 2. For hubbed/trapped/captured rotor designs, refinish the rotor using an On-Car lathe and the procedure outlined in this bulletin. - Never reuse rotors that measure under the Minimum Thickness specification. In this instance, the rotor should be replaced. Important If the Minimum Thickness specification is not visible on the rotor, reference Service Information (SI) for the specific vehicle application. DO NOT use any other manufacturers rotor specifications. Brake Pads: Important When determining the warranty coverage (as an example) - if all four front or four rear brake pads are excessively worn evenly, that would NOT be covered under warranty since this type of wear is most likely due to driving habits or trailering. However, if the brake pads are excessively worn un-evenly, side-to-side or same side/inner-to-outer pads, then consideration should be given to cover this under warranty since this type of wear is most likely due to poor operation of other braking components. - Consideration should be given for covering brake pads up to 39,000 km (24,000 mi) (excluding owner abuse, excessive trailering, or the situations that would not be considered normal use). - Installation of new rotors does not require pad replacement. Do not replace pads unless their condition requires it - excessively worn, damage or contaminated. Brake Wear: Several factors impact brake lining wear and should be taken into account when reviewing related issues: - heavy loads / high temperatures / towing / mountainous driving / city driving / aggressive driving / driver braking characteristics (left foot or two feet) The following are conditions that may extend brake lining wear: - light loads / highway driving / conservative driving / level terrain Page 13569 Apply Super Lube to the latch detent lever. 1.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3.

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.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-00-90-002I (Section 00 - General Information). Important: ^ Adjustment of tire pressure for a customer with a Low Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) light on and no codes in the TPM system is NOT a warrantable repair. Claims to simply adjust the tire pressure will be rejected. ^ ALL tires (including the spare tire) MUST be set to the recommended inflation pressure stated on the vehicle's tire placard (on driver's door) during the PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION (PDI). Recommended inflation pressure is not the pressure printed on tire sidewall. ^ Tires may be over-inflated from the assembly plant due to the mounting process. ^ Generally a 5.6°C (10°F) temperature change will result in (is equivalent to) a 6.9 kPa (1 psi) tire pressure change. ^ 2008-2009 HUMMER H2 Only - The H2 comes standard with Light Truck "D" Load Range tires with a recommended cold inflation pressure of 289 kPa (42 psi). These tires will alert the driver to a low pressure situation at roughly 262 kPa (38 psi) due to a requirement in FMVSS 138 which specifies a Minimum Activation Pressure for each tire type. This creates a relatively narrow window of "usable" pressure values and the warning will be more sensitive to outside temperature changes during the colder months. As with other cold temperature/tire pressure issues, there is nothing wrong with the system itself. If a vehicle is brought in with this concern, check for tire damage and set all tires to the Recommended Cold Inflation Pressure shown on the vehicle placard. Accurate tire pressures ensure the safe handling and appropriate ride characteristics of GM cars and trucks. It is critical that the tire pressure be adjusted to the specifications on the vehicle¡C■s tire placard during PDI. Ride, handling and road noise concerns may be caused by improperly adjusted tire pressure. The first step in the diagnosis of these concerns is to verify that the tires are inflated to the correct pressures. The recommended tire inflation pressure is listed on the vehicle¡C■s tire placard. The tire placard is located on the driver¡C■s side front or rear door edge, center pillar, or the rear compartment lid. Tip ^ Generally a 5.6°C (10°F) temperature increase will result in (is equivalent to) a 6.9 kPa (1 psi) tire pressure increase. ^ The definition of a "cold" tire is one that has been sitting for at least 3 hours, or driven no more than 1.6 km (1 mi). ^ On extremely cold days, if the vehicle has been indoors, it may be necessary to compensate for the low external temperature by adding additional air to the tire during PDI. ^ During cold weather, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator light (a yellow horseshoe with an exclamation point) may illuminate. If this indicator turns off after the tires warm up (reach operating temperature), the tire pressure should be reset to placard pressure at the cold temperature. ^ The TPM system will work correctly with nitrogen in tires. ^ The TPM system is compatible with the GM Vehicle Care Tire Sealant but may not be with other commercially available sealants. Important: ^ Do not use the tire pressure indicated on the tire itself as a guide. Page 6184 Page 9219 C319 Body Harness to Left Inflatable Restraint Side Impact Module Jumper Harness (With RPO Code AY0) C320 Body Harness to Right Inflatable Restraint Side Impact Module Jumper Harness (With RPO Code AY0) Page 5503 Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor: Service and Repair FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACEMENT (SEDAN) REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Disclaimer Page 985 - The MIL remains illuminated after the engine is started if the control module detects a fault. A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored any time the control module illuminates the MIL due to an emissions related fault. The MIL turns OFF after three consecutive ignition cycles in which a Test Passed has been reported for the diagnostic test that originally caused the MIL to illuminate. - The MIL flashes if the control module detects a misfire condition which could damage the catalytic converter. - When the MIL is illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will remain illuminated as long as the ignition is ON. - When the MIL is not illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition is cycled OFF and then ON. TRIP A trip is an interval of time during which the diagnostic test runs. A trip may consist of only a key cycle to power up the powertrain control module (PCM), allow the diagnostic to run, then cycle the key off to power down the PCM. A trip may also involve a PCM power up, meeting specific conditions to run the diagnostic test, then powering down the PCM. The definition of a trip depends upon the diagnostic. Some diagnostic tests run only once per trip (i.e., catalyst monitor) while other tests run continuously during each trip (i.e., misfire). WARM-UP CYCLE The powertrain control module (PCM) uses warm-up cycles to run some diagnostics and to clear any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). A warm-up cycle occurs when the engine coolant temperature increases 22°C (40°F) from the start-up temperature. The engine coolant must also achieve a minimum temperature of 71°C (160°F). The PCM counts the number of warm-up cycles in order to clear the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). The PCM will clear the DTCs when 40 consecutive warm-up cycles occur without a malfunction. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) The powertrain control module (PCM) is programmed with test routines that test the operation of the various systems the PCM controls. Some tests monitor internal PCM functions. Many tests are run continuously. Other tests run only under specific conditions, referred to as Conditions for Running the DTC. When the vehicle is operating within the conditions for running a particular test, the PCM monitors certain parameters and determines if the values are within an expected range. The parameters and values considered outside the range of normal operation are listed as Conditions for Setting the DTC. When the Conditions for Setting the DTC occur, the PCM executes the Action Taken When the DTC Sets. Some DTCs alert the driver via the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) or a message. Other DTCs do not trigger a driver warning, but are stored in memory. The PCM also saves data and input parameters when most DTCs are set. This data is stored in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records. The DTCs are categorized by type. The DTC type is determined by the MIL operation and the manner in which the fault data is stored when a particular DTC fails. In some cases there may be exceptions to this structure. Therefore, when diagnosing the system it is important to read the Action Taken When the DTC Sets and the Conditions for Clearing the DTC in the supporting text. There are different types of DTCs and different actions taken when the DTCs set. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions for a description of the general characteristics of each DTC type. DTC STATUS When the scan tool displays a DTC, the status of the DTC is also displayed. The following DTC statuses are indicated only when they apply to the DTC that is set. Fail This Ign. (Fail This Ignition): Indicates that this DTC failed during the present ignition cycle. Last Test Fail: Indicates that this DTC failed the last time the test ran. MIL Request: Indicates that this DTC is currently requesting the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). This selection will report type B DTCs only when they have requested the MIL (failed twice). Test Fail SCC (Test Failed Since Code Clear): Indicates that this DTC that has reported a failure since the last time DTCs were cleared. History: Indicates that the DTC is stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) History memory. Type B DTCs will not appear in History until they have requested the MIL (failed twice). History will be displayed for all type A DTCs and type B DTCs (which have requested the MIL) that have failed within the last 40 warm-up cycles. Type C DTCs that have failed within the last 40 warm-up cycles will also appear in History. Not Run SCC (Not Run Since Code Clear): DTCs will be listed in this category if the diagnostic has not run since DTCs were last cleared. This status is not included with the DTC display since the DTC can not be set if the diagnostic has not run. This information is displayed when DTC Info is requested using the scan tool. Page 12271 ^ Pay the dealer the regular retail price (no discounts are available) for one of the following 1-year, non-refundable OnStar(R) Analog-to-Digital Transition (ADT) Service Subscription Plans: ^ 1-year Safe & Sound Subscription: $199 ($289 in Canada) ^ 1-year Directions & Connections Subscription: $399 ($579 in Canada) ^ Pay the dealer the applicable state and local sales taxes on the subscription: ^ U.S. Dealers: Taxes only apply in these states: CT, DC, FL, HI, ND, NJ, NM, NY, SC, SD, TX, and WV ^ Canadian Dealers: All applicable taxes ^ Pay the dealer a one-time charge of $15 for the upgrade: ^ U.S. Dealers: Do not collect taxes on the $15 ^ Canadian Dealers: Collect all applicable taxes on the $15 Note: Dealers should NOT remit OnStar(R) ADT-related taxes to their taxing authority as OnStar(R) is responsible for tax remittance. Please Be Sure To Read these Important Points: ^ The 1-year OnStar(R) subscription is not refundable or transferable to another person. Upgraders can apply unused subscription months to a new or Certified Pre-Owned digital OnStar-equipped GM vehicle purchase or lease. As noted above, the digital upgrade program requires the subscriber to purchase a one-year prepaid OnStar(R) subscription. Assuming the subscriber intends to keep their vehicle, but subsequently purchases or leases a 2006 model year or newer OnStar(R)-equipped new or certified used GM vehicle, in the interest of subscriber satisfaction, they may apply remaining unused whole months of the subscription to the new vehicle. The subscription may not be applied to another person's vehicle. Important: This is a customer satisfaction measure that would usually occur several months after an upgrade. It is not intended to be leveraged as part of a new/used vehicle purchase or lease transaction. ^ The $15 charge is not refundable. ^ Dealer ADT kit orders are VIN specific. Dealer kit orders require a VIN and must be exchanged with the OnStar(R) unit in the vehicle with that VIN. Proper activation and enrollment depends on this step. ^ You must put the actual miles on the Repair Order. Do not estimate. ^ Customers will receive a Hands-Free Calling number once the digital hardware is installed and configured. ^ Any nametags that were stored in the old system will need to be re-set by the subscriber once the new hardware is installed. ^ Customers are responsible for the charges described above regardless of whether their vehicle is in or out of the New Vehicle Warranty period. In addition, customers should not be charged labor costs. Dealers can charge GM the labor for the upgrade as specified at the end of this bulletin using the listed labor operation. ^ Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin.

Cause This condition may be caused by the door check link spring saddle. Correction Important: To prevent overspray from landing on the door glass, make sure all windows are rolled up before applying the lubricant to the check link. Slide the check link grommet back and spray GM Lubriplate(R) Lubricant, P/N 89021668 (in Canada, use P/N 89021674), or equivalent, on the check link saddle using a "straw" type nozzle extension. The nozzle extension should be inserted slightly into the opening above the check link arm and sprayed toward the outside of the door. If the nozzle is inserted too far into the door, it will go past the check link spring saddle and the lubricant will miss its target. Move the nozzle back and forth while spraying to distribute the lubricant. Open and shut the door until the noise is gone. Reinstall the check link grommet in the door.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 6041 Steps 21 - 29 Page 5985 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 1014 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 26 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 498 1. Remove the ground cable from the battery's negative cable. 2. Remove the center console, see WIS - Body - Interior. 3. Loosen the gear shift housing (A). AUT: Disconnect the 6-pin connector (B) to improve access to the gear shift housing screws. 4. Disconnect the signal cable from the SRS control module to the OnStar(R) control module and secure the cable. 4.1. Disconnect the connector (A) from the SRS control module and cut the cable tie (B). Page 4653 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 9369 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes.

GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 12983 A current DTC clears when the condition for setting the DTC is no longer present. A history DTC clears after 50 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 13170 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 964 Page 1135 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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.

General Information 1. The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear, or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have a no power/no communication condition. 2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com. 3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle. Note: If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module. 4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original analog production or digital upgrade. 5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required for a new module replacement. Do not discard. 6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. Page 956 Wheel Drive Shaft Inner Joint and Seal Replacement Constant Velocity Joint: Service and Repair Wheel Drive Shaft Inner Joint and Seal Replacement Wheel Drive Shaft Inner Joint and Seal Replacement ^ Tools Required J 8059 Snap Ring Pliers (Parallel Jaw) - J 3049-A Drive Axle Seal Clamp Pliers - J 41048 Drive Axle Swage Ring Clamp Removal Procedure Notice: Do not cut through the wheel drive shaft inboard seal during service.

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.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

When installing a new diode use the following procedure. OnStar(R) - Loss of GPS Signal/Hands Free Issues Emergency Contact Module: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Loss of GPS Signal/Hands Free Issues Bulletin No.: 02-08-46-007C Date: November 19, 2007 INFORMATION Subject: Information on OnStar(R) System - Possible Loss of GPS Signal, Hands-Free Calling Minutes Expire Prematurely and/or Inability to Add Hands-Free Calling Minutes Models: 2001-2008 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2003-2008 HUMMER H2 2006-2008 HUMMER H3 2005-2008 Saab 9-7X with OnStar(R) System (RPO UE1) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008 model year, warranty information and to provide GPS signal recovery steps (under Dealer Action heading) to do PRIOR to determining if the VIU/VCIM needs replacement. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-007B (Section 08 - Body & Accessories). If the vehicle currently has analog-upgradable OnStar(R) hardware, then the customer should be made aware of the digital upgrade program per the latest version of Service Bulletin # 05-08-46-006. Any analog OnStar system that is not upgraded prior to the end of 2007 will be deactivated due to the upcoming phase-out of the analog cellular network in the U.S. and Canada. If the vehicle has recently been upgraded or has had a service replacement unit installed, this bulletin may not be applicable. Certain 2001-2008 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) may exhibit a condition with the Global Positioning System (GPS) that causes inaccuracies in the GPS clock. The GPS system is internal to the OnStar(R) Vehicle Interface Unit (VIU) or the Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM). This inaccuracy can result in a symptom where the OnStar(R) Call Center is unable to obtain an accurate GPS signal, hands-Free Calling minutes expire prematurely and/or the inability to add Hands-Free calling minutes. Customer Notification OnStar(R) will notify the customer by mail with instructions to contact their dealership service department. Dealer Action Not all vehicles will require VIU/VCIM replacement. The GPS signal in some vehicles may be recoverable. To determine if the signal is recoverable, simply connect the Tech2(R) and using the GPS information data display option, observe the GPS date and time. If the date/time stamps are equal to a date approximately 19 years in the future, the GPS clock has exceeded its capacity and the VIU/VCIM will need to be replaced. If the date/time stamp is in the past or near future, the GPS clock has simply generated an inaccurate value and may be recoverable by performing the following power-up reset. To initiate a power-up reset, battery voltage (batt. +) must be removed from the VIU/VCIM. The preferred methods, in order, of initiating the reset are outlined below. Remove the fuse that supplies Battery positive (Batt. +) voltage to the module (refer to the applicable Service Information schematics for the appropriate fuse). The next preferred method is to remove the connector to the OnStar(R) unit that Batt + is contained. The least preferable method is to remove the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. This will not only initiate the power-up reset, but it may also result in the loss of radio presets and other stored personalization information/settings in other modules as well. After initiating the power-up reset, the GPS data will be set to the defaulted date and time and will require an acquisition of the GPS signal in order to gain the proper date and time. Acquiring the GPS signal requires running the vehicle in an open/unobstructed view of the sky. First, contact OnStar(R) Technical Support by pressing the blue button. Allow the OnStar(R) Technical Advisor to activate the GPS recovery process. This should take approximately 10 minutes. Continue to Page 6245 2.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-07-30-036G (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). Some dealership technicians may have difficulty diagnosing DTC P0756, 2-3 Shift Valve Performance on 4L60-E, 4L65-E or 4L70E automatic transmissions. As detailed in the Service Manual, when the PCM detects a 4-3-3-4 shift pattern, DTC P0756 will set. Some customers may also describe a condition of a second, third or fourth gear start that may have the same causes but has not set this DTC yet. Below are some tips when diagnosing this DTC: ^ This is a performance code. This means that a mechanical malfunction exists. ^ This code is not set by electrical issues such as a damaged wiring harness or poor electrical connections. Electrical problems would cause a DTC P0758, P0787 or P0788 to set. ^ The most likely cause is chips/debris plugging the filtered AFL oil at orifice # 29 on the top of the spacer plate (48). This is a very small hole and is easily plugged by a small amount of debris. It is important to remove the spacer plate and inspect orifice # 29 and the immediate area for the presence of chips/debris. Also, the transmission case passage directly above this orifice and the valve body passage directly below should be inspected and cleaned of any chips/debris. For 2003 and newer vehicles the spacer plate should be replaced. The service replacement spacer plate is a bonded style with gaskets and solenoid filter screens bonded to the spacer plate. These screens can help to prevent plugging of orifice # 29 caused by small debris or chips. ^ This code could be set if the 2-3 shift valve (368) were stuck or hung-up in its bore. Inspect the 2-3 shift valve (368) and the 2-3 shuttle valve (369) for free movement or damage and clean the valves, the bore and the valve body passages. ^ This code could be set by a 2-3 shift solenoid (367b) if it were cracked, broken or leaking. Refer to Shift Solenoid Leak Test in the appropriate Service Manual for the leak test procedure. Based on parts return findings, a damaged or leaking shift solenoid is the least likely cause of this condition. Simply replacing a shift solenoid will not correct this condition unless the solenoid has been found to be cracked, broken or leaking. It is important to also refer to the appropriate Service Manual or Service Information (SI) for further possible causes of this condition. Disclaimer Page 6325 3.

If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Locations On The Front Impact Bar Page 8921 1.

There may not be any DTCs set when this condition occurs. Typically, this will only occur if the driver starts the engine, immediately places the shifter into D3 and accelerates (all within a couple seconds - as when someone is in a rush to get somewhere). If this sequence of events occurs at a slower pace, this concern will not occur. Due to the shifter release mechanism being on the front of the shifter, the shifter may easily be placed into D3 instead of D4 when rapidly pulling back on the shifter. As a result, some customers may not realize that the shifter was in D3 when this occurred. Cause The PCM may interpret the rapid placement into drive and enter transmission abuse management mode, which will limit the throttle position desired and actual angles to a maximum of 45%, even if the accelerator pedal is pushed to wide open throttle. Rather than coming out of this mode though, the PCM will stay in this mode until the ignition is cycled or until the shifter is moved to PARK, REVERSE or NEUTRAL and then back into D4. Correction Before reprogramming the PCM, verify the customer concern. Follow published diagnostics in SI. If not trouble is found, reprogram the PCM. A revised engine calibration has been developed to address this issue. Reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. This new service calibration is available on TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). As always, make sure your Tech 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 9955 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.

Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 6130 Page 8161 3. Install the control cable into the transmission bracket, push down until the tabs lock the cable to the bracket. 4. Install the cable to the transmission range switch lever by pressing down until the cable snaps into place. 5. Connect the control cable end to the control assembly lever. 6. Connect the control cable to the pin on the control assembly. 7. Secure the control cable into the control assembly by pushing into place. 8. Install the console. 9. Adjust the control cable assembly. Page 90 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 4556 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 3808 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3.

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs OnStar(R) - Aftermarket Device Interference Information Emergency Contact Module: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Aftermarket Device Interference Information INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 08-08-46-004 Date: August 14, 2008 Subject: Information on Aftermarket Device Interference with OnStar(R) Diagnostic Services Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Car and Truck (including Saturn) 2009 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 Models 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1) This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer service personnel with information regarding aftermarket devices connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) and the impact to OnStar(R) diagnostic probes and Vehicle Diagnostic e-mails. Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices, interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call) by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail. These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations. The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern. When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail, verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed (i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 11838 10. Disconnect and remove the OnStar(R) jumper harness. Note: You will need to remove the short GPS cable from this jumper harness. 11. Untape the cell antenna coax from the body harness in the trunk. This will be necessary to provide adequate length to connect to the new VCIM. 12.

Measure the timing chain tensioner assembly from end to end. A new tensioner should be supplied in the fully compressed non-active state. A tensioner in the compressed state will measure 72 mm (2.83 in) (a) from end to end. A tensioner in the active state will measure 85 mm (3.35 in) (a) from end to end. Page 4939 Knock Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 9099 Page 12525 Speaker - RF Door Tweeter (With RPO Code UZ6) Page 12167 Page 11724 ^ On 2002 Sevilles and DeVilles, the GPS jumper cable MUST be unclipped from the back seat cross brace, or unplugged from the VCIM first. DO NOT pull back on the mounting bracket until the GPS antenna jumper cable is unclipped from the back seat cross brace or unplugged from the VCIM. The short length of jumper cable does not allow the VCIM mounting bracket to be pulled back very far, and could lead to a break at the VCIM connector. ^ On 2000-2002 Bonnevilles and LeSabres and 2001-2002 Auroras you will need to follow these steps: 1. Remove the 4 nuts that secure the VCU/VIU bracket assembly to the rear seat back brace. Note: Save these nuts for later use. 2. Remove and discard the plastic VCU/VIU bracket assembly from the vehicle. 3. Remove the upper right stud (1) from the rear seat back brace and re-install in the middle lower slot (2) on the brace. Tighten the fastener to 4 Nm (36 lb in). 4. Position the new VCIM in the vehicle over the studs on the rear seat back brace. 5. Install two of the nuts saved from step (1). Tighten the nuts to 4 Nm (36 lb in). 6. Connect the new OnStar jumper harness supplied in the kit to the VCIM (two white connectors) and the body wiring harness (C345 connector). 7. Connect the small coaxial jumper cable supplied in the kit, to the VCIM, with the end that has a blue plastic housing connector. Plug the other end of this coaxial jumper cable to the OnStar Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) antenna coaxial cable at the right angle connector. Note: The GPS cable in the new OnStar jumper harness is not utilized. 8. Connect the cellular coaxial cable to the OnStar VCIM. On 2001 Impala and Monte Carlos you will need to follow these steps: 9. Remove the Vehicle Communications Unit (VCU) and Vehicle Interface Unit (VIU) following the procedures listed in SI. Save the bracket nuts for later use. Page 4728 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 11480 * Dealers using WINs: Add 0.2 hours to the labor time for administrative allowance for the module exchange.

Pressing the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) tool in the release cavity of the terminal you are removing, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used. TERMINAL REPAIR PROCEDURE Use the appropriate terminal and crimper in the J-38125 in order to replace the terminal. Weather Pack Connectors WEATHER PACK CONNECTORS The following is the proper procedure for the repair of Weather Pack(R) Connectors. 1. Separate the connector halves (1). 2. Open the secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the connector (1). 3. Grasp the wire and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the wire in this position. 4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder (1). 5. Gently pull on the wire to remove the terminal through the back of the connector (2). IMPORTANT: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector. 6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary. 7. Reform the lock tang (2) and reset terminal in connector body. 8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves. 9. Verify that circuit is complete and working satisfactorily. 10. Perform system check. Page 5821 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Locations Right Front of the Engine Compartment Page 1533 Page 5565 Page 3150 1. Place the NEW cylinder bore sleeve onto the cylinder block. 2. Install EN 45680-851 fixture and EN 45680-853 cylinder bore sleeve installer assembly over the cylinder bore sleeve and onto the cylinder block. Do not apply downward pressure to the cylinder bore sleeve. Note: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems. Important: Use 4 old cylinder head bolts for the attaching bolts. 3. Insert the 4 attachment bolts into the legs of the EN 45680-851 fixture (1). Do not apply downward pressure to the cylinder bore sleeve (2). Tighten the 4 attachment bolts to 15 N.m (11 lb-ft). Page 11995 Page 10773 Air Bag Control Module: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual.

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 Page 6935 Page 8089 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-49-016A (Section 08 - Body & Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment that the backlighting on the IPC does not illuminate in the daylight hours with headlamps manually turned on. They may further state that the backlighting does function at night, but not in the day time. Cause On these vehicles, backlighting for the IPC is not enabled unless the vehicle's lighting photocell determines that there is a nighttime ambient condition. Backlighting is not controlled through the use of the park lamp or headlamp switch. The conditions under which the photocell activates the backlighting may not satisfy each particular customer's personal expectations, or the customer may simply prefer to have the backlighting always illuminated on the IPC when headlamps are manually turned on. Correction Module reprogramming must be done using the Pass-Thru method. Select "Instrument Panel (Backlight Dimming Fix ONLY)" from the Supported Controllers list. For customers who wish to have the IPC backlighting illuminated, a new service calibration is now available that will activate the backlighting to full intensity during daytime hours with headlamps manually turned on.

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

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 Page 13523 2.

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

Important: The latch and its backing plate have been removed on the above illustration to show the location for the lube. Page 3975 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.

Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 6322 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Micro .64 Connectors MICRO.64 CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro 64 connectors. 1.

Disclaimer Page 6101 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 11309 Page 5094 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 2370 Page 10980 Air Bag Control Module: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Specifications Brake Pedal Assy: Specifications Brake Pedal Travel ^ Maximum specification with 445 N (100 lbs) of force applied to the brake pedal with the ignition OFF and the booster power reserve depleted ...... 50.8 mm (2.0 inch) Page 11194 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

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

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

Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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 Page 3694 11.

Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 10861 Page 12952 For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.

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. Disclaimer Page 3443 8.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 6904 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working on GMLAN connectors and terminals. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 3547 Contamination Mixing conventional green coolant with DEX-COOL(R) will degrade the service interval from 5 yrs./150,000 miles (240,000 km) to 2 yrs./30,000 miles (50,000 km) if left in the contaminated condition. If contamination occurs, the cooling system must be flushed twice immediately and re-filled with a 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL(R) and clean water in order to preserve the enhanced properties and extended service interval of DEX-COOL(R). After 5 years/150,000 miles (240,000 km) After 5 yrs/150,000 miles (240,000 km), the coolant should be changed, preferably using a coolant exchanger. If the vehicle was originally equipped with DEX-COOL(R) and has not had problems with contamination from non-DEX-COOL(R) coolants, then the service interval remains the same, and the coolant does not need to be changed for another 5 yrs/150,000 miles (240,000 km) Equipment (Coolant Exchangers) The preferred method of performing coolant replacement is to use a coolant exchanger. A coolant exchanger can replace virtually all of the old coolant with new coolant. Coolant exchangers can be used to perform coolant replacement without spillage, and facilitate easy waste collection. They can also be used to lower the coolant level in a vehicle to allow for less messy servicing of cooling system components. It is recommended that you use a coolant exchanger with a vacuum feature facilitates removing trapped air from the cooling system. This is a substantial time savings over repeatedly thermo cycling the vehicle and topping-off the radiator. The vacuum feature also allows venting of a hot system to relieve system pressure. Approved coolant exchangers are available through the GMDE (General Motors Dealer Equipment) program. For refilling a cooling system that has been partially or fully drained for repairs other than coolant replacement, the Vac-N-Fill Coolant Refill Tool (GE-47716) is recommended to facilitate removal of trapped air from the cooling system during refill.

The modules that need real time communication are attached to the high speed GMLAN network. The body control module (BCM) is the gateway between the networks. The purpose of the gateway is to translate serial data messages between the GMLAN high speed buss and the GMLAN low speed buss. The gateway will interact with each network according to that network's transmission protocol. Refer to Body Control System Description and Operation for more information about the gateway. The 2.2L (L61) powertrain control module (PCM) on this vehicle, uses a class 2 serial data buss. The class 2 buss is only used for diagnostics and the service programming system (SPS). During normal vehicle operations, there is no communications over the class 2 serial data buss. Normal vehicle operational messaging for the PCM is sent over the PCMs GMLAN high speed serial data buss. The 3.5L (LX9) PCM does not use a class 2 serial data circuit. GMLAN HIGH SPEED CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the high speed GMLAN serial data circuit. The serial data is transmitted on two twisted wires that allow speed up to 500 Kb/s. The twisted pair is terminated with two 120 ohms resistors, one is internal to the powertrain control module (PCM) or engine control module (ECM) depending on regular production option (RPO) and the other is internal to the body control module (BCM). The BCM is considered the DLC termination point of the link and the engine management controller is the other end of the link. The resistors are used to reduce noise on 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. The idle level, which is approximately 2.5 volts, is considered recessive transmitted data and is interpreted as a logic 1. Driving the lines to their extremes, adds one volt to the high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) and subtracts one volt from the high speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) wire. This dominant state is interpreted as a logic 0. GMLAN network management supports selective start up and is based on virtual networks. A virtual network is a collection of signals started in response to a vehicle event. The starting of a virtual network signifies that a particular aspect of the vehicles functionality has been requested. A virtual network is supported by virtual devices, which represents a collection of signals owned by a single physical device. So, any physical device can have one or more virtual devices. The signal supervision is the process of determining whether an expected signal is being received or not. Fail softing is the ability to substitute a signal with a default value or a default algorithm, in the absence of a valid signal. Some messages are also interpreted as a heartbeat of a virtual device. If such a signal is lost, the application will set a no communication code against the respective virtual device. This code is mapped on the Tech 2 screen as a code against the physical device. NOTE: a loss of serial data DTC does not represent a failure of the module that the code is set in. GMLAN LOW SPEED CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit. The serial data is transmitted over a single wire to the appropriate control modules. 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. This protocol produces a simple pules train sent out over the GMLAN low speed serial data bus. When a module pulls the buss high, 5 volts, this creates a dominant logic state or 0 on the buss. When the buss is pulled low 0 volts, it is translated as a recessive logic state or 1. To wake the control modules connected to the GMLAN low speed serial data buss, a high voltage wake up pulse is sent out over the buss, the voltage level of the pules is +10 volts. Modules connected to the GMLAN low speed buss can be part of a virtual network as described in the previous paragraph. The modules on the GMLAN low speed serial data buss are connected to the buss in a parallel configuration. CLASS 2 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the class 2 serial data circuit. Class 2 serial data is transmitted on a single wire at an average of 10.4 Kbps. The bus is active at 7 volts nominal and inactive at ground potential. When the ignition switch is in RUN, and a scan tool is connected to the DLC, the 2.5L (L61) powertrain control module (PCM) will start communicating diagnostic information over the class 2 serial data circuit. The 3.5L (LX9) PCM does not use a class 2 serial data circuit. 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 GMLAN low speed communications terminal - Pin 2 Class 2 signal terminal 2.5L (L61) - Pin 4 Scan tool power ground terminal - Pin 5 Common signal ground terminal - Pin 6 High speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) terminal - Pin 14 High speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) terminal - Pin 16 Scan tool power, battery positive voltage terminal CLASS 2 SERIAL DATA USAGE The class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle is only used for the 2.2L (L61) powertrain control module (PCM) diagnostics and PCM service programming system (SPS) programming. The 3.5L (LX9) PCM does not use a class 2 serial data circuit. Page 7953 Shift Indicator: Service and Repair Shift Indicator Replacement Removal Procedure 1. Remove the center console. 2.

You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5.

A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with it, the DTC will only be reported once. The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them: Page 1987 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 6258 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 8061 Page 12565 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 13008 switch lighting connector. 3.3. Undo the floor console's retaining bolts (C). 3.4.

Refer to Data Communication Schematics and Data Link Communications Description and Operation in SI. Part 2 Conditions for Running the DTC Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts. DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current. The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTC A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5 seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication. Action Taken When the DTC Sets The module uses a default value for the missing parameter. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. Diagnostic Aids When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or U1255 is set. Page 1480 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 4760 Testing and Inspection Main Relay (Computer/Fuel System): Testing and Inspection POWERTRAIN RELAY DIAGNOSIS CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The powertrain relay is a normally open relay. The relay armature is held in the open position by spring tension. Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the relay coil and the armature contact at all times. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies the ground path to the relay coil control circuit, via an internal integrated circuit called an output driver module (ODM). When the PCM commands the relay ON, the relay coil creates an electromagnetic field. This electromagnetic field overcomes the spring tension and pulls the armature contact into the stationary contact of the relay load circuit. The closing of the relay contacts allows current to flow from the battery to the following fuses and relay. The ETC FUSE - The EMISSION FUSE - The A/C CLUTCH RELAY When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, power is interrupted to the output driver module in the PCM, and the relay electromagnetic field collapses. This action allows the spring tension pulling on the armature to separate from the relay load circuit contact, which interrupts current flow to the fuses and relay. If the powertrain relay fails to close the engine will crank, but may or may not run. The class II communications will be available with the use of a scan tool. The powertrain relay system diagnosis table assumes that the vehicle battery is fully charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test in Starting and Charging. See: Starting and Charging/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Battery Inspection/Test TEST Page 297 Important: The optic cable must not be bent with a radius less than 25 mm (1 in). 6.12.

Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types of circuit breakers are used. 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 Description and Operation Console: Description and Operation KEY AND LOCK CYLINDER CODING KEY IDENTIFICATION AND USAGE The keys are double sided and reversible. The master key and valet key contain transponders that are read by the theft deterrent system when the keys are used in the ignition. The keys have 10 cut positions (1) with 5 different depths (2). The keys that are furnished with the vehicle are: The master key, which contains a transponder (3). This key will operate all of the locks on the vehicle. - The valet key, which contains a transponder (3). This key will operate the front door locks and the ignition lock only. - The emergency key, which does not contain a transponder. This key will operate the door locks, rear compartment lock and the I/P storage compartment lock only. This key is intended for emergency use only. CUTTING KEYS The key code can be obtained from the 5-digit number on the key tag that accompanies the original master and valet keys. The 5-digit key code cross references to the cut and tumbler sequence. The keys have 10 key cut positions (1) and 5 key cut depths (2). Key cut positions are numbered 1-10, counting from the head of the key to the tip. The key cut depths are 1-5, cut depth number 1 is the deepest cut. The key transponder (3) in the master and valet key must be programmed to the vehicle. Refer to Programming Theft Deterrent System Components in Theft Deterrent. 1. Cut a blank key to the proper depth and sequence of each of the tumbler positions. 2. Inspect the mechanical operation of the key in the lock cylinders in the doors, the ignition switch, the rear compartment lid and any storage compartments:With each side of the key pointing up inside the lock, inspect the operation of the lock in both directions. Turn the key both directions in each lock cylinder. - Turn the key with each side of the key pointing upward in each lock cylinder. 3. If replacing a master or valet key, program the key transponder to the vehicle. Refer to Programming Theft Deterrent System Components. LOCK CYLINDER TUMBLER OPERATION Each of the 4 cut depths on the key has corresponding tumblers sometimes referred to as plates or wafers. The tumbler depth number is stamped on the tumblers for identification. The I/P storage compartment lock cylinder also require a retainer tumbler. The retainer tumbler is not moved by the key, its function is to retain the I/P storage compartment lock cylinder in the lock assembly. ASSEMBLING AND CODING IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER The ignition lock cylinder uses 7 of the 10 cut positions, 1 through 7. The tumbler positions are staggered from side to side, 4 on one side and 3 on the other. Page 1786 Oxygen Sensor: Connector Views Fuel Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Sensor 1 OnStar(R) - Number Incorrect/Incorrectly Assigned Emergency Contact Module: Customer Interest OnStar(R) - Number Incorrect/Incorrectly Assigned INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 05-08-46-004C Date: December 23, 2010 Subject: OnStar(R) Phone Number Concerns (Phone Number Incorrect/Assigned to Another Vehicle/Phone) That Occur During Diagnosis of OnStar(R) System Models: 2000-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks Equipped with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years up to 2011.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 12233 Test Description DTC U1001 and U1254 Circuit/System Description Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to the 3-digit identification number is set. Page 5742 Page 4169 Page 7611 4.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 2844 Vehicle Lifting: Service and Repair LIFTING AND JACKING THE VEHICLE CAUTION: - To avoid any vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death when major components are removed from the vehicle and the vehicle is supported by a hoist, support the vehicle with jack stands at the opposite end from which the components are being removed. - To avoid any vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death, always use the jackstands to support the vehicle when lifting the vehicle with a jack. NOTE: Perform the following steps before beginning any vehicle lifting or jacking procedure: - Remove or secure all of the vehicle's contents in order to avoid any shifting or any movement that may occur during the vehicle lifting or jacking procedure. - The lifting equipment or the jacking equipment weight rating must meet or exceed the weight of the vehicle and any vehicle contents. - The lifting equipment or the jacking equipment must meet the operational standards of the lifting equipment or jacking equipment's manufacturer. - Perform the vehicle lifting or jacking procedure on a clean, hard, dry, level surface. - Perform the vehicle lifting or jacking procedure only at the identified lift points.

The customer will hear a demo message stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services. ^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed. Note For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation. Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription. OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure, the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS. The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID (MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers. The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure, or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data. During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing. Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device identification, call routing and connection. They are: ^ A mobile identification number (MIN) ^ A mobile directory number (MDN) Note The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device. Diagnostic Information Symptoms - Cellular Communication The following steps must be completed before using the symptom table. 1. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle, before using the Symptom Tables in order to verify that the following are true: ^ There are no DTCs set. ^ The control modules can communicate via the serial data link. 2.

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 Page 1024 7.

This SDM has two fused power inputs; one fuse is for the battery voltage and the other fuse is for the ignition voltage. The SDM uses vehicle battery voltage as its main power input. The SDM then uses the vehicles GMLAN Serial Data Communication line and the ignition voltage logic input for enabling or disabling the SIR deployment loops. The SDM contains internal sensors along with several external sensors, if equipped, mounted at strategic locations on the vehicle. In the event of a collision, the SDM compares the signals from the internal and external sensors to a value stored in memory. When the generated signals exceed the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the appropriate deployment loops to deploy the air bags or seat belt pretensioners. If the force of the impact is not sufficient to warrant inflator module deployment, the SDM may still deploy the seat belt pretensioners. The SDM records the SIR system status when a deployment occurs and turns the AIR BAG indicator located in the IPC ON. As soon as three distinct deployment commands (representing different events) have been issued to any belt pretensioner, or the SDM commands any front and side air bag to deploy once, the SDM shall be considered to not be reusable. The SDM performs continuous diagnostic monitoring of the SIR system electrical components and circuitry when the ignition is turned ON. If the SDM detects a malfunction, a DTC will be stored and the SDM will command the AIR BAG indicator ON, notifying the driver that a malfunction exist. In the event that ignition positive voltage is lost during a collision, the SDM maintains a 23-volt loop reserve (23 VLR) for deployment of the air bags. It is important when disabling the SIR system for servicing or rescue operations to allow the 23 VLR to dissipate, which could take up to 1 minute. Heater Case/Cover Replacement Heater Core: Service and Repair Heater Case/Cover Replacement HEATER CORE COVER REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 3727 Engine Coolant Temperature (ETC) Sensor Page 5948 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.

The initiator is part of the seat belt pretensioner deployment loop. When the vehicle is involved in a collision of sufficient force, the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will cause current to flow through the deployment loops to the initiator. Current passing through the initiator ignites the material in the canister producing a rapid generation of gas and the release of compressed gas, if present. The gas produced from this reaction deploys the seat belt pretensioner and retracts the seat belt webbing, which removes slack in the seat belt. Depending on the severity of the collision, the seat belt retractor pretensioner may deploy without the frontal inflator modules deploying, or they will deploy immediately before the frontal inflator modules deploy. As soon as three distinct deployment commands (representing different events) have been issued to any belt pretensioner the SDM shall be considered to not be reusable. Each seat belt retractor pretensioner is equipped with a shorting bar located on the connector of the pretensioner. The shorting bar shorts the seat belt pretensioner deployment loop circuitry to prevent unwanted deployment of the pretensioner when servicing the seat belt pretensioner. Page 2253 Impact Sensor: Description and Operation Front End Sensors INFLATABLE RESTRAINT FRONT END SENSORS The front end sensor, also known as the electronic frontal sensor (EFS), is equipped on vehicles to supplement the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System performance. The front end sensor is an electronic sensor and is not part of the deployment loops, but instead provides an input to the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The front end sensor can assist in determining the severity of some frontal collisions. The SDM contains a microprocessor which performs calculations using the measured accelerations and compares these calculations to a value stored in memory. When the generated calculations exceed the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the frontal deployment loops deploying the frontal air bags. Page 9090 Page 5258 Body Control Module: Description and Operation Power Mode POWER MODE DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Power to many of this vehicle's circuits are controlled by the module that is designated the power mode master (PMM). This vehicle's PMM is the body control module (BCM). The PMM controls which power mode (Run, Accessory, Crank, Retained Accessory Power, or Off) is active. Serial Data Power Mode Master On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the power mode master (PMM). On this vehicle, the PMM is the body control module (BCM). The PMM receives 3 discrete ignition switch signals to differentiate which power mode will be sent over the Serial Data circuits. The 3-wire Ignition Switch table illustrates the state of these inputs in correspondence to the ignition switch position. Relay Controlled Power Mode The body control module (BCM) uses the discrete ignition switch inputs Off/Run/Crank, Accessory, and ignition 1, to distinguish the correct power mode. The ignition 1 circuit is also routed to the Run/Crank relay for relay controlled power feeds during the appropriate power mode. The BCM, after determining the desired power mode, will activate the appropriate relays for that power mode. Run/Crank Relay The run/crank relay control circuit is connected to a constant ground and is switched by the ignition 1 circuit or the BCM. The BCM, will in lieu of the ignition switch position, activate the Run/Crank relay during a remote start event. The Run/Crank relay supplies a power signal to the following circuits, when the a Run or Crank power mode is selected: Automatic transmission shift indicator - Automatic transmission (A/T) - Switched power feeds to the BCM - Electronic brake control module (EBCM) - Electronic ignition module (spark control) - Electronic power steering module (EPS) - Fuel injectors - Powertrain control module (PCM) - Park neutral position (PNP) switch Accessory (ACC) Relay The adaptive cruise control (ACC) relay is energized when the Run or accessory power mode has been selected. The relay uses a Hot At All Times B+ power source derived from the underhood electrical center. The ACC relay is also energized by the BCM to supply power during the retained accessory power (RAP) mode. The following devices are controlled by this relay: Inside rearview mirror - Heated seats - Power windows - Sunroof - Wiper washers switch Fail-Safe Operation Since the operation of the vehicle systems depends on the power mode, there is a fail-safe plan in place should the power mode master (PMM) fail to send a power mode message. The fail-safe plan covers those modules, using exclusively serial data control of power mode, as well as those modules with discrete ignition signal inputs. Serial Data Messages The modules that depend exclusively on serial data messages for power modes. stay in the state dictated by the last valid PMM message until they can check for the engine run flag status on the serial data circuits. If the PMM fails, the modules monitor the serial data circuit for the engine run flag Page 7501 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 4462 Page 12667 Page 116 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 1 Page 11011 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 1 Page 9353 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 4133 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 1729 Page 3990 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Diagrams Page 10855 Page 13185 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 2450 A wheel alignment will generally NOT correct vehicles that follow the road crown since this is within "Normal Operation." Mileage Policy The following mileage policy applies for E2020 and E2000 labor operations: Note Wheel Alignment is NOT covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for Express and Savana Cutaway vehicles as these vehicles require Upfitters to set the wheel alignment after completing the vehicles. - 0-800 km (0-500 mi): E2000/E2020 claims ONLY allowed with Call Center Authorization. Due to the tie down during shipping, the vehicle's suspension requires some time to reach normal operating position. For this reason, new vehicles are generally NOT to be aligned until they have accumulated at least 800 km (500 mi). A field product report should accompany any claim within this mileage range. - 801-12,000 km (501-7,500 mi): - If a vehicle came from the factory with incorrect alignment settings, any resulting off-angle steering wheel, lead/pull characteristics or the rare occurrence of excessive tire wear would be apparent early in the life of the vehicle. The following policy applies: - Vehicles 100% Factory Set/Measured for Caster/Camber/Toe - Escalade/ESV/EXT, Tahoe/Suburban, Yukon/XL/Denali, Silverado/Sierra, Express/Savana, Corvette and Colorado/Canyon: E2000/E2020 Claims: Call Center Authorization Required - All Vehicles NOT 100% Factory Set/Measured for Caster/Camber/Toe as noted above: E2000/E2020 Claims: Dealer Service Manager Authorization Required - 12,001 km and beyond (7,501 miles and beyond): During this period, customers are responsible for the wheel alignment expense or dealers may provide on a case-by case basis a one-time customer enthusiasm claim up to 16,000 km (10,000 mi). In the event that a defective component required the use of the subject labor operations, the identified defective component labor operation will include the appropriate labor time for a wheel alignment as an add condition to the component repair. Important Only one wheel alignment labor operation claim (E2000 or E2020) may be used per VIN. Warranty Documentation Requirements When a wheel alignment service has been deemed necessary, the following items will need to be clearly documented on/with the repair order: - Customer concern in detail - What corrected the customer concern? - If a wheel alignment is performed: - Consult SI for proper specifications. - Document the "Before" AND "After" wheel alignment measurements/settings. - Completed "Wheel Alignment Repair Order Questionnaire" (form attached to this bulletin) 1. Document the customer concern in as much detail as possible on the repair order and in the warranty administration system. Preferred examples: - Steering wheel is off angle in the counterclockwise direction by approximately x degrees or clocking position. - Vehicle lead/pulls to the right at approximately x-y mph. Vehicle will climb the road crown. Severe, Moderate or Slight. - RF and LF tires are wearing on the outside shoulders with severe feathering. Important In the event of a lead/pull or steering wheel angle concern, please note the direction of lead/pull (left or right) or direction of steering wheel angle (clockwise or counterclockwise) on the repair order and within the warranty claim verbatim. Important In the event of a tire wear concern, please note the position on the vehicle and where the wear is occurring on the tire; i.e., the RF tire is wearing on the inside shoulder. 2. Document the technician's findings on cause and correction of the issue. Examples: - Reset LF toe from 0.45 degrees to 0.10 degrees and RF toe from -0.25 degrees to 0.10 degrees to correct the steering wheel angle from 5 degrees counterclockwise to 0 degrees. - Reset LF camber from 0.25 degrees to -0.05 degrees to correct the cross-camber condition of +0.30 degrees to 0.00 degrees on the vehicle. - Front Sum toe was found to be 0.50 degrees, reset to 0.20 degrees. 3. Print-out the "Before" and "After" wheel alignment measurements/settings and attach them to the Repair Order or if print-out capability is not Page 13248 Disclaimer Page 2942 of vibration is normally felt more in the "seat of the pants" than the steering wheel. 5. Next, record the Hertz (Hz) reading as displayed by the EVA onto the tire data worksheet found at the end of this bulletin. This should be done after a tire break-in period of at least 16 km (10 mi) at 72 km/h (45 mph) or greater, in order to eliminate any possible tire flat-spotting. This reading confirms what the vehicle vibration frequency is prior to vehicle service and documents the amount of improvement occurring as the result of the various steps taken to repair. Completing the Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet below is required. A copy of the completed worksheet must be saved with the R.O. and a copy included with any parts returned to the Warranty Parts Center for analysis. A reading of 35 to 50 Hz typically indicates a first order propshaft vibration. If this is the situation, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-07-30-044D. Generally, a reading between 10 and 20 Hz indicates a tire/wheel vibration and if this is the reading obtained, continue using this bulletin. If the tire 1st order vibration goes away and stays away during this evaluation, the cause is likely tire flat-spotting. Tire flat-spotting vibration may come and go at any speed over 72 km/h (45 mph) during the first 10 minutes of operation, if vibration continues after 10 minutes of driving at speeds greater than 72 km/h (45 mph), tire flat-spotting can be ruled out as the cause for vibration. 6. If flat-spotting is the cause, provide the explanation that this has occurred due to the vehicle being parked for long periods of time and that the nature of the tire is to take a set. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E: Information on Tire/Wheel Characteristics (Vibration, Balance, Shake, Flat Spotting) of GM Original Equipment Tires. 7. If the road test indicates a shake/vibration exists, check the imbalance of each tire/wheel assembly on a known, calibrated, off-car dynamic balancer.Make sure the mounting surface of the wheel and the surface of the balancer are absolutely clean and free of debris. Be sure to chose the proper cone/collet for the wheel, and always use the pilot bore for centering. Never center the wheel using the hub-cap bore since it is not a precision machined surface. If any assembly calls for more than 1/4 ounce on either rim flange, remove all balance weights and rebalance to as close to zero as possible. If you can see the vibration (along with feeling it) in the steering wheel (driving straight without your hands on the wheel), it is very likely to be a tire/wheel first order (one pulse per revolution) disturbance. First order disturbances can be caused by imbalance as well as non-uniformities in tires, wheels or hubs. This first order frequency is too low for a human to hear, but if the amplitude is high enough, it can be seen. If a vibration or shake still exists after balancing, any out of round conditions, of the wheel, and force variation conditions of the tire, must be addressed. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 can address both (it is also a wheel balancer). Tire radial force vibration (RFV) can be defined as the amount of stiffness variation the tire will produce in one revolution under a constant load. Radial force variation is what the vehicle feels because the load (weight) of the vehicle is always on the tires. Although free runout of tires (not under load) is not always a good indicator of a smooth ride, it is critical that total tire/wheel assembly runout be within specification. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 loads the tire, similar to on the vehicle, and measures radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Note that the wheel is affecting the tire's RFV measurement at this point. To isolate the wheel, its runout must be measured. This can be easily done on the Hunter, without the need to set up dial indicators. If the wheel meets the runout specification, the tire's RFV can then be addressed. After measuring the tire/wheel assembly under load, and the wheel alone, the machine then calculates (predicts) the radial force variation of the tire. However, because this is a prediction that can include mounting inaccuracies, and the load wheel is much smaller in diameter than used in tire production, this type of service equipment should NOT be used to audit new tires. Rather, it should be used as a service diagnostic tool to minimize radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 does an excellent job of measuring wheel runout, and of finding the low point of the wheel (for runout) and the high point of the tire (for radial force variation). This allows the tire to be matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly force variation. The machine will simplify this process into easy steps. The following assembly radial force variation numbers should be used as a guide: When measuring RFV and match mounting tires perform the following steps. Measuring Wheel Runout and Assembly Radial Force Variation Important The completed worksheet at the end of this bulletin must be attached to the hard copy of the repair order. - Measure radial force variation and radial runout. - If a road force/balancing machine is used, record the radial force variation (RFV) on the worksheet at the end of this bulletin. It may be of benefit to have the lowest RFV assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires onto the subject vehicle. - If a runout/balancing machine is used, record the radial runout of the tire/wheel assemblies on the worksheet at the end of this bulletin. If one or more of the tire/wheel assemblies are more than.040 in (1.02 mm), match mount the tire to the wheel to get below.040 in (1.02 mm). For sensitive customers, readings of 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) or less are preferable, it may also be of benefit to have the lowest runout assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires Page 10320 Wheels: Service and Repair Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation ^ Tools Required J 39544-KIT Torque Limiting Socket Set Removal Procedure 1. Raise and support the vehicle. 2. Remove the wheel center cap, if equipped. 3. Remove the wheel nut caps, if equipped. 4. Mark the relationship of the wheel to the hub. 5. Remove the wheel nuts. Caution: If penetrating oil gets on the vertical surfaces between the wheel and the rotor or drum it could cause the wheel to work loose as the vehicle is driven, resulting in loss of control and an injury accident Notice: Removing the wheel may be difficult because of foreign materials or a tight fit between the wheel and the hub/rotor. Slightly tap the tire side wall with a rubber mallet in order to remove the wheel. Failure to Follow these instructions may result in damage to the wheel. 6. Remove the tire and wheel assembly from the vehicle. If the tire and wheel assembly is difficult to remove, perform the following steps: 6.1. Install and tighten all wheel nuts on the affected wheel. 6.2. Loosen each wheel nut two turns. 6.3. Lower the vehicle. 6.4. Rock the vehicle from side to side. 6.5. Repeat this procedure if necessary. 7. If the tire and wheel assembly still does not loosen, perform the following steps: 7.1. Start the engine. 7.2. Drive the vehicle forward and rearward slightly while applying quick, hard jabs of the brakes prior to changing direction. 7.3. Repeat this procedure if necessary.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-07-30-042E (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). Important For 2005 model year fullsize utilities and pickups, refer to Corporate Bulletin 05-07-30-012. Some vehicles may exhibit a clunk noise that can be heard on a 2-3 upshift or a 3-2 downshift. During a 2-3 upshift, the 2-4 band is released and the 3-4 clutch is applied. The timing of this shift can cause a momentary torque reversal of the output shaft that results in a clunk noise. This same torque reversal can also occur on a 3-2 downshift when the 3-4 clutch is released and the 2-4 band applied. This condition may be worse on a 4-wheel drive vehicle due to the additional tolerances in the transfer case. This is a normal condition. No repairs should be attempted. Disclaimer Page 8081 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 4295 Page 5966 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Locations Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid: Locations Automatic Transmission Electronic Component Views Electronic Components Electronic Components 13 - TFP Manual Valve Position Switch Assembly 46 - Input Speed Sensor 62 - Output Speed Sensor 305 - 1-2 and 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valves 305 - 1-2 and 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valves 312 Pressure Control Solenoid 335 - TCC Control PWM Solenoid Page 7781 Page 14035 2.

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 6637 Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 6376 1.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 9301 For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.

You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 9059 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 3457 27. Install the timing chain upper guide. Tighten Tighten the timing chain upper guide bolts to 10 Nm (89 lb in). 28. Inspect the timing chain tensioner. If the timing chain tensioner, O-ring seal, or washer is damaged, replace the timing chain tensioner. 29. Measure the timing chain tensioner assembly from end to end. A new tensioner should be supplied in the fully compressed non-active state. A tensioner in the compressed state will measure 72 mm (2.83 in) (a) from end to end. A tensioner in the active state will measure 85 mm (3.35 in) (a) from end to end. Page 1517 Listed are Registered Trademarks ((R)) or Non-Registered Trademarks ((TM)) which may appear in this service data.

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

Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 3835 Conversion - English/Metric Part 1 Page 370 ^ An OnStar(R) Call Center button press WILL NOT connect the vehicle with OnStar(R). The vehicle must be upgraded to reactivate the account. The customer will hear a demo message stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services. ^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed. Note For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation. Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription. OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure, the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS. The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID (MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers. The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure, or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data. During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing. Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device identification, call routing and connection. They are: ^ A mobile identification number (MIN) ^ A mobile directory number (MDN) Note The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device. Diagnostic Information Symptoms - Cellular Communication The following steps must be completed before using the symptom table. 1. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle, before using the Symptom Tables in order to verify that the following are true: ^ There are no DTCs set. ^ The control modules can communicate via the serial data link. 2. Review the system operation in order to familiarize yourself with the system functions. Refer to Radio/Audio System Description and Operation in SI. Diagnostic Starting Point - Displays and Gages Begin the displays and gages system diagnosis with Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle or the audible warning system diagnosis with Diagnostic System Page 12087 ^ I/O check Any faults detected during the initialization self-test shall generate a DTC. All nodes also continuously perform a self-test while in an active state. DTCs and their associated telltales will set as a result of unprogrammed or unlearned information. DTCs, which are defined for system configuration (e.g. Vehicle Option Content not programmed) do not support the history status bit (set =0). Warning indicator bit is also set, when applicable, while this DTC is present. Action Taken When the DTCs Sets The module suspends all message transmission. The module uses default values for all parameters received on the serial data circuits. The module inhibits the setting of all other communication DTCs. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction. Circuit/System Verification Refer to Data Link References to determine which serial data system is used for a specific module. The DTCs cannot be retrieved with a current status. Diagnosis is accomplished using the following symptom procedures: Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device in SI. OR Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Low Speed GMLAN Device in SI. DTC U1300, U1301, or U1305 Circuit Description Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. In addition to this, Node Alive messages are transmitted by each module on the Class 2 serial data circuit about once every 2 seconds. When the module detects one of the following conditions on the Class 2 serial data circuit for approximately 3 seconds, the setting of all other Class 2 serial communication DTCs is inhibited and a DTC will set. Conditions for Running the DTCs Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range. The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTCs No valid messages are detected on the Class 2 serial data circuit. The voltage level detected on the Class 2 serial data circuit is in one of the following conditions: Page 4969 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 8881 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7.

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.

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. Disclaimer Page 5983 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-03-10-012A (Section 03 - Suspension). Analysis of Returned Wheels Chrome wheels returned under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for pitting concerns have recently been evaluated. This condition is usually most severe in the vent (or window) area of the front wheels. This "pitting" may actually be brake dust that has been allowed to accumulate on the wheel. The longer this accumulation builds up, the more difficult it is to remove. Cleaning the Wheels In all cases, the returned wheels could be cleaned to their original condition using GM Vehicle Care Cleaner Wax, P/N 12377966 (in Canada, P/N 10952905). When using this product, you should confine your treatment to the areas of the wheel that show evidence of the brake dust build-up.

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

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Engine, A/T Controls - Shared Diagnostic Trouble Codes Engine Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Engine, A/T Controls - Shared Diagnostic Trouble Codes Bulletin No.: 05-06-04-060 Date: September 23, 2005 INFORMATION Subject: Powertrain Control Module (PCM), Engine Control Module (ECM), Transmission Control Module (TCM) Diagnostic Trouble Code(s) (DTC)(s) P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P1621 Shared In Multiple Modules Models: 2005-2006 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2005-2006 HUMMER H2 2006 HUMMER H3 2005-2006 Saab 9-7X Beginning in 2005, some control modules (ECM's, TCM's) have specific codes that describe internal failures of the module.

Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 1813 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3. Use the proper pick or removal tool (1) in order to release the terminal. Page 7040 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 1719 Lower Rear of Engine Locations Impact Sensor: Locations Left Door Page 6466 Page 6077 2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece. The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such. 3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover removal procedures may vary. 6. Use fingers to squeeze the 2 locking legs of the cover. Page 13171 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 5919 Page 4895 Metric Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development METRIC PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Page 946 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 10790 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 7257 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.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-02-32-007F (Section 02 - Steering). Condition 1 Some customers may comment on a clunk noise heard and felt in the steering wheel while driving at slow speeds and turning. The clunk noise may appear to be directly in front of the driver. Hitting a bump while turning can produce the clunk noise. Sometimes the noise may be duplicated when the vehicle is sitting still and the steering wheel is turned 90 degrees in either direction before initially centering the steering wheel. Cause 1 The clunk noise may be caused by a slip/stick condition between the inner and outer components of the intermediate shaft. Important Revised design intermediate shafts went into production in the 2009 model year and are the only design currently available through GMSPO since approximately September 2008. Since any model year vehicle could have had a second design shaft installed, it is critical to identify it before proceeding. The revised design intermediate shafts will NOT tolerate any type of lubricant per the following instructions. Adding lube to the second design shafts will cause a clunk noise in a very short period of time. Use the following pictures to identify which design of shaft you are servicing.

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

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 4417 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 3029 5.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.

Under NO circumstances should this procedure be modified, changed or shortened. As a long term solution, and to prevent reoccurrence, customers should be encouraged to use Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. For further information on Top Tier detergent gasoline and fuel retailers, please refer to the following Corporate Bulletin Numbers: - 04-06-04-047G (U.S. Only) - 05-06-04-022D (Canada ONLY) Notice GM UPPER ENGINE AND FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER is the only injector cleaning agent approved for use with General Motors fuel system components. Other injector cleaners may cause damage to plastics, plated metals or bearings. General Motors has completed extensive laboratory testing of GM Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner, and can assure its compatibility with General Motors fuel system components, as long as the cleaning procedure is followed correctly. Injector Cleaning Procedure The following tools, or their equivalent, are required: - CH-47976 Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT) - J 35800-A Fuel Injector Cleaner - J 37287 Fuel Line Shut-off Adapter - J 42964 Fuel Line Shut-off Adapter - J 42873 Fuel Line Shut-off Adapter - * One bottle of GM Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner, P/N 88861802 (in Canada, P/N 88861804) - * One bottle of GM Fuel System Treatment Plus, P/N 88861011 (in Canada, P/N 88861012) Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT- CH-47976) Some dealers may not have an Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT- CH-47976). Dealers can contact to order an AFIT- CH-47976. Dealers still can test the fuel injectors without an AFIT. Refer to Fuel Injector Diagnosis (w/ J 39021 or Tech 2(R)) in SI. Important As mentioned in the AFIT User Guide, vehicles that are not listed in the AFIT menu can still be tested with the AFIT. Depending on the model, it may be possible to enter the previous model year and proceed with testing using the DLC connection. If this is not possible on the model that you are working on, it will be necessary to use the direct connection method outlined in the AFIT User Guide (See Pages 17-31). General Motors recommends that the Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT) be used in testing fuel injectors. If the SI diagnostics do not isolate a cause for this concern, use the Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT - CH-47976) to perform an "Injector Test" as outlined in the AFIT User Guide. The AFIT "Injector Test" measures the flow characteristics of all fuel injectors, which is more precise when compared with the standard Tech 2(R) fuel injector balance test. As a result, the AFIT is more likely to isolate the cause of a P1174 DTC (for example: if it is being caused by a fuel injector concern). The CH-47976 (Active Fuel Injector Tester - AFIT) can also be used to measure fuel pressure and fuel system leak down. Also, as mentioned in the P1174 SI diagnosis, if the misfire current counters or misfire graph indicate any misfires, it may be an indicator of the cylinder that is causing the concern. Refer to Fuel Injector Diagnosis (w/CH-47976) in SI for additional instructions. Training (U.S.) To access the training video on AFIT, take the following path at the GM Training Website: 1. After logging into the training website, choose the link on the left side of the page titled "web video library." 2. Then choose "technical." 3. Next, within the search box, type in September course number "10206.09D. 4. This will bring up a link with this course. Scroll through to choose "feature topic." 5.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

The table explains the numbering system. Electrical Symbols Page 11690 If you are unsure who the PSC is, check with the Sales Manager. General Information 1. The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear, or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have a no power/no communication condition. 2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com. 3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle. Note: If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module. 4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original analog production or digital upgrade. 5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required for a new module replacement. Do not discard. 6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. Page 764 Page 10178 Supporting the Vehicle with Jackstands IMPORTANT: Place jackstands ONLY under strong and stable vehicle structures. Page 11509 Page 7313 Page 13019 10.4.

You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 4650 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands.

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.

Observe the flow of fluid coming from the ports.As air is bled from the primary and secondary pistons, the effort required to depress the primary piston will increase and the amount of travel will decrease. 8. Continue to depress and release the primary piston until fluid flows freely from the ports with no evidence of air bubbles. 9. Remove the transparent hoses from the master cylinder reservoir. 10. Install the master cylinder reservoir cap and diaphragm. 11. Remove the fittings with the transparent hoses from the master cylinder ports. Wrap the master cylinder with a clean shop cloth to prevent brake fluid spills. 12. Remove the master cylinder from the vise. Page 9025 Page 969 Page 12133 Claim Information - GM, Saturn Canada and Saab Canada Only Claim Information - Saturn US Only Customer Reimbursement Claims - Special Attention Required Customer reimbursement claims must have entered into the "technician comments" field the CSO # (if repair was completed at a Saturn Retail Facility) date, mileage, customer name, and any deductibles and taxes paid by the customer.

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.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 7332 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 4719 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 2232 Metric Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development METRIC PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Page 2777 Body Control Module(BCM) - Top View Page 5608 3. Use a small flat-bladed tool to gently pry off the dress cover by inserting the tool under the cover opposite the harness side and prying up. 4. Remove the cover. 5. Using a small flat-bladed tool, push on the side of the nose piece retainer while pushing the nose piece forward with your thumb. This will release the terminal position assurance (TPA). 6. Insert the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) into the corresponding terminal release cavity. The release cavities are the 2 center rows of cavities on one half of the connector. Page 4715 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 8030 Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Service and Repair Transmission Fluid Pressure (TFP) Manual Valve Position Switch Replacement Removal Procedure 1. Remove the transaxle case side cover. 2. Remove the TFP switch assembly bolts. 3. Remove the TFP switch assembly from the control valve body assembly. The TFP switch O-rings are reusable if not damaged and should remain with the switch assembly. Installation Procedure 1. Inspect the TFP switch assembly in order to verify the condition and correct location of the pressure switch O-rings. If necessary, replace the O-rings. Notice: Install the TFP switch assembly onto the control valve body assembly and install the bolts. 2. Tighten the control valve body bolts to 12 Nm (9 ft. lbs.). 3. Install the transaxle case side cover. 4. Start the engine, warm up the transaxle, and check for leaks. 5. Inspect for proper fluid level. Page 7201 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 8566 4. Slide the rotor all the way to the hub and hold it in place until you have placed one of the conical washers (with the tapered hole side facing out) and run the first lug nut up tight by hand so the rotor doesn't move when you release it. 5. Place the conical washers on the rest of the studs (with the tapered hole side facing out), start and snug the lug nuts by hand. 6. Using the one half inch drive impact wrench and a torque stick (J 39544) or equivalent, start with the lug nut opposite of the one you first tightened by hand and tighten the lug nuts using a star pattern until they touch the hub but do not completely torque. Then again, starting with the first lug nut you tightened by hand, tighten all the lug nuts in a star pattern to the specific vehicle torque specification. 7. DO NOT reinstall the caliper or the wheel at this time. On-Car Type Lathe 1. Leave the On-Car adapter on the wheel. 2. Proceed to Step 9. 9. Fasten the dial indicator to the steering knuckle so that the indicator needle contacts the rotor outboard friction surface approximately 6.35 mm (0.25 in) from the rotor's outer edge. The stylus should be perpendicular to the friction surface of the rotor. Important Make sure the dial indicator needle tip is screwed tight, a loose tip could cause false readings. 10. Measure for LRO. Follow the procedure below to determine if the LRO is within specification (0.050 mm (0.002 in) or LESS). 1. Rotate the rotor and locate the point on the rotor where the lowest dial indicator reading is indicated and set the dial indicator to zero. 2. Rotate the rotor from the low point and locate the point with the highest dial indicator reading (rotor "high spot"). Note the amount and mark the location of the "high spot" on the rotor and mark the closest wheel stud relative to this location. If the high point falls between two studs, mark both studs. In instances where the vehicle has "capped lug nuts" you should mark the hub. 11. If the Lateral Run Out (LRO) measurement is 0.050 mm (0.002 in) or LESS, no correction is necessary. Go to Step 15 if this is the first rotor completed. Go to Step 16 if this is the second rotor completed. If the LRO is GREATER than 0.050 mm (0.002 in), go to Step 12. 12. If the LRO measurement is greater than 0.050 mm (0.002 in), use the following procedure to correct for LRO: Important If the LRO measurement is over 0.279 mm (0.011 in), determine the source or cause of the LRO and correct it (i.e. verify drive axle nut torque specification, refinished rotor is source of LRO due to a lathe qualification issue - see "Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure"). Hubless Rotor 1. Remove the rotor and using the Brake Align(R) application chart (found in TSB 01-05-23-001B), choose the correct plate to bring the rotor LRO to 0.050 mm (0.002 in) or less. The plates come in 0.0762 mm (0.003 in), 0.1524 mm (0.006 in) and 0.2286 (0.009 in) compensation. For more information on proper plate selection, see the instruction video/DVD included in the "Brake Align(R)" kit or TSB 01-05-23-001B. 2. Align the V-notch of the selected Brake Align(R) correction plate to the marked wheel stud ("high spot") or between the two points marked (if the "high spot" is between two wheel studs). Important IF Brake Align(R) Correction Plates are not available for the vehicle being serviced, refer to SI Document - Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction for correcting LRO. Important Per Brake Align(R) manufacturer, NEVER attempt to stack two or more Correction Plates together on one hub. NEVER attempt to reuse a previously installed Correction Plate. 3. Reinstall the rotor using the same method and precautions as the first time - found in Step 8. Make sure to index the rotor correctly to the marks made in step 10, otherwise LRO will be comprised. Hubbed / Captured / Trapped Rotor 1. Measure the rotor thickness. 2. Refinish or replace the rotor (see Service Information for further details). Page 2315 Page 646 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1.

Disable the SIR system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling Zone 2 or to SIR Disabling and Enabling Zone 6. CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - In order to prevent accidental deployment and the risk of personal injury, do not dispose of an undeployed inflatable restraint seat belt pretensioner as normal shop waste. Undeployed seat belt pretensioners contain substances that could cause severe illness or personal injury if their sealed containers are damaged during disposal. Use the following deployment procedures to safely dispose of an undeployed seat belt pretensioner. Failure to observe the following disposal methods may be a violation of federal, state, or local laws. - When carrying an undeployed inflatable restraint seat belt pretensioner: Do not carry the seat belt pretensioner by the wires or connector. - Carry the seat belt pretensioner by the piston tube, keeping hands and fingers away from the cable. - Make sure the open end of the seat belt pretensioner piston tube points away from you and other people. - Do not cover the seat belt pretensioner piston tube opening with your hand. Failure to observe these guidelines may result in personal injury. 2. Remove the lower garnish molding from the center pillar. 3. Remove the side trim cover from the front seat. 4.

Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 4029 Body Control Module(BCM) C1 Part 3 Page 10698 5.

The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear, or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have a no power/no communication condition. 2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com. 3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle. Note: If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module. 4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original analog production or digital upgrade. 5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required for a new module replacement. Do not discard. 6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. Page 5594 Page 4151 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Page 6832 Page 670 Page 12662 Page 2220 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 12848 Labor Time Information Campaign - Unwanted Repeat Calls to OnStar(R) Technical Service Bulletin # 10037 Date: 100420 Campaign - Unwanted Repeat Calls to OnStar(R) CUSTOMER SATISFACTION Bulletin No.: 10037 Date: April 20, 2010 Subject: 10037 - Unwanted Repeat Calls to OnStar(R) Models: 2003 Buick LeSabre 2004-2006 Buick Rendezvous 2005 Buick LeSabre, Terraza 2005-2006 Buick LaCrosse/Allure 2006-2008 Buick Lucerne 2008 Buick LaCrosse/Allure 2008-2009 Buick Enclave 2003 Cadillac CTS 2004 Cadillac Escalade 2004-2005 Cadillac CTS-V, Deville 2005 Cadillac Escalade ESV, SRX 2005-2006 Cadillac STS 2005-2008 Cadillac CTS 2006-2008 Cadillac DTS 2007 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade EXT 2007-2008 Cadillac Escalade ESV 2008 Cadillac SRX, STS 2002 Chevrolet Impala 2003-2008 Chevrolet Suburban 2003-2009 Chevrolet Silverado 2004-2008 Chevrolet Impala 2005 Chevrolet Colorado, Corvette, Malibu 2005-2006 Chevrolet Uplander 2005-2008 Chevrolet Avalanche, Tahoe, TrailBlazer 2006 Chevrolet HHR, Monte Carlo 2006-2008 Chevrolet Equinox 2007-2008 Chevrolet Corvette 2008 Chevrolet HHR 2008-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt, Colorado, Malibu, Uplander 2003 GMC Envoy XL, Sierra, Yukon XL 2004-2008 GMC Yukon 2005-2009 GMC Sierra 2005-2008 GMC Yukon XL 2006-2008 GMC Envoy 2007 GMC Canyon 2007-2009 GMC Acadia 2006 HUMMER H2 2006-2008 HUMMER H3 2008 HUMMER H2 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette 2005 Montana SV6 2005-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix 2006 Pontiac G6, Vibe 2007 Pontiac Montana SV6 2007-2008 Pontiac Solstice 2008 Pontiac G6, Torrent 2008-2009 Pontiac G5, G8 2009 Pontiac G3, Montana SV6 2005-2007 Saturn ION 2006-2009Saturn VUE 2007-2008 Saturn AURA, OUTLOOK, SKY Equipped with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1) Page 11313 Page 11540 9.

Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 4343 Metric Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development METRIC PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Drive Belt Chirping Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Chirping Drive Belt Chirping Diagnosis Diagnostic Aids The symptom may be intermittent due to moisture on the drive belt or the pulleys. It may be necessary to spray a small amount of water on the drive belt 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. A loose or improper installation of a body component, a suspension component, or other items of the vehicle may cause the chirping noise. Test Description Page 11127 1.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 2800 Fuse Block - Rear C4 Part 2 Fuse Block - Underhood C1 Page 1685 Listed are Registered Trademarks ((R)) or Non-Registered Trademarks ((TM)) which may appear in this service data.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 7244 Page 2013 Page 9225 Multiple Junction Connector: Diagrams C100 Engine Harness to Automatic Transmission Harness Page 12280 Page 5455 Conversion - English/Metric Part 2 Diagnostic Work Sheets DIAGNOSTIC WORK SHEETS The GM Diagnostic Worksheet has been designed to improve communications between the service customer and the technician.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 11880 Page 4605 Page 6009 Page 5221 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 4132 7. Pressing the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) tool in the release cavity of the terminal you are removing, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used. TERMINAL REPAIR PROCEDURE Use the appropriate terminal and crimper in the J-38125 in order to replace the terminal. Weather Pack Connectors WEATHER PACK CONNECTORS The following is the proper procedure for the repair of Weather Pack(R) Connectors. 1. Separate the connector halves (1). 2. Open the secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the connector (1). 3. Grasp the wire and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the wire in this position. 4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder (1). 5. Gently pull on the wire to remove the terminal through the back of the connector (2). IMPORTANT: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector. 6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary. 7. Reform the lock tang (2) and reset terminal in connector body. 8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves. 9. Verify that circuit is complete and working satisfactorily. 10. Perform system check. Page 7392 For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Disclaimer Page 9811 1. Remove the key from the ignition switch. 2. Connect both front end sensors connector to the front end sensor (1). 3. Connect both CPA's to each front end sensor connector. 4. Install the AIR BAG (IGN) and AIR BAG (BATT) fuses into the BCM fuse center (1). 5. Use caution while reaching in and turn the ignition switch to the ON position. The AIR BAG indicator will flash then turn OFF. 6. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle if the AIR BAG warning indicator does not operate as described. Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information. Page 4730 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 3544 Coolant: Technical Service Bulletins Cooling System - Coolant Recycling Information Bulletin No.: 00-06-02-006D Date: August 15, 2006 INFORMATION Subject: Engine Coolant Recycling and Warranty Information Models: 2007 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2007 and Prior HUMMER Vehicles 2005-2007 Saab 9-7X Attention: Please address this bulletin to the Warranty Claims Administrator and the Service Manager. Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to adjust the title and Include Warranty Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-06-02-006C (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System). Coolant Reimbursement Policy General Motors supports the use of recycled engine coolant for warranty repairs/service, providing a GM approved engine coolant recycling system is used. Recycled coolant will be reimbursed at the GMSPO dealer price for new coolant plus the appropriate mark-up. When coolant replacement is required during a warranty repair, it is crucial that only the relative amount of engine coolant concentrate be charged, not the total diluted volume. In other words: if you are using two gallons of pre-diluted (50:50) recycled engine coolant to service a vehicle, you may request reimbursement for one gallon of GM Goodwrench engine coolant concentrate at the dealer price plus the appropriate warranty parts handling allowance.

Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with it, the DTC will only be reported once. The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them: Page 3366 3.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 2324 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 3804 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 9878 6. Hold the tilt lever, with light pressure, against the cam follower. ^ Actuate the lever to position against closed stop detent. Lever handle should be approximately parallel with the work surface. Note: Refer to Fastener Notice. 7. Continue to maintain light pressure on the tilt lever and tighten the nut. Tighten Tighten the torque prevailing nut until stamping surfaces are drawn together to 5.5 N.m (49 lb in). 8. Actuate the tilt lever to OPEN and CLOSED position several times while holding the tilt bracket in the proper alignment. 9. Adjust the nut torque until the load on the tilt lever handle is approximately 55 N.m (41 lb ft) to fully close lever. ^ Using a tool such as a mechanical force gage compare with a similar vehicle to confirm proper tilt lever closing force. 10. Compare with a similar vehicle to confirm proper tilt lever closing force. Caution: ^ In order to ensure function of the steering column in a vehicle during a crash and in order to avoid personal injury to the driver, perform the following: ^ Tighten the steering column lower fasteners before you tighten the steering column upper fasteners. Failure to do this can damage the steering column. ^ Tighten the steering column fasteners to the specified torque. Overtightening the upper steering column fasteners could affect the steering column collapse. 11. Tighten the steering column fasteners in the following sequence: Tighten Tighten the lower steering column mounting thru bolt to 27 N.m (20 lb ft). 12. Tighten the left side upper steering column mounting bolt to 27 N.m (20 lb ft). 13. Tighten the right side upper steering column mounting bolt to 27 N.m (20 lb ft). 14.

Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 480 Service and Repair Relay Box: Service and Repair UNDERHOOD ELECTRICAL CENTER OR JUNCTION BLOCK REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1. Remove the battery. 2.

Discrete wires from the ignition switch contacts are monitored by a module which acts as the power mode master (PMM) in order to determine the correct power mode. The module which is the PMM communicates the system power mode to all modules on the serial data lines. Refer to Body Control System Description and Operation to identify which module is the PMM and the applicable power mode look up table. TEST DESCRIPTION Page 181 Page 7472 Knock Sensor: Description and Operation KNOCK SENSOR (KS) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION PURPOSE The knock sensor (KS) system enables the control module to control the ignition timing for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from potentially damaging levels of detonation. The control module uses the KS system to test for abnormal engine noise that may indicate detonation, also known as spark knock. SENSOR DESCRIPTION This KS system uses one or two flat response two-wire sensors. The sensor uses piezo-electric crystal technology that produces an 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 KS detects. The control module receives the KS signal through a signal circuit. The KS ground is supplied by the control module through a low reference circuit. The control module learns a minimum noise level, or background noise, at idle from the KS and uses calibrated values for the rest of the RPM range. The control module uses the minimum noise level to calculate a noise channel. A normal KS signal will ride within the noise channel. As engine speed and load change, the noise channel upper and lower parameters will change to accommodate the normal KS signal, keeping the signal within the channel. In order to determine which cylinders are knocking, the control module only uses KS signal information when each cylinder is near top dead center (TDC) of the firing stroke. If knock is present, the signal will range outside of the noise channel. If the control module has determined that knock is present, it will retard the ignition timing to attempt to eliminate the knock. The control module will always try to work back to a zero compensation level, or no spark retard. An abnormal KS signal will stay outside of the noise channel or will not be present. KS diagnostics are calibrated to detect faults with the KS circuitry inside the control module, the KS wiring, or the KS voltage output. Some diagnostics are also calibrated to detect constant noise from an outside influence such as a loose/damaged component or excessive engine mechanical noise. Page 6310 Page 11230 Inflatable Restraint Side Impact Sensor - Right (With RPO Code AY0) Instruments - Backlighting Inoperative During Daylight Interior Lighting Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Instruments - Backlighting Inoperative During Daylight Bulletin No.: 06-08-49-016B Date: September 12, 2006 TECHNICAL Subject: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Backlighting Inoperative During Daylight Hours (Reprogram BCM) Models: 2004-2006 Chevrolet Malibu, Malibu Maxx 2005-2006 Chevrolet Cobalt 2006 Chevrolet HHR 2005-2006 Pontiac G6, Pursuit (Canada Only) 2006 Pontiac Solstice 2007 Saturn Sky Built Prior to VIN Breakpoint 7Y102344 Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add a statement that backlighting is only active during daylight hours with headlamps manually turned on. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-49-016A (Section 08 - Body & Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment that the backlighting on the IPC does not illuminate in the daylight hours with headlamps manually turned on. They may further state that the backlighting does function at night, but not in the day time. Cause On these vehicles, backlighting for the IPC is not enabled unless the vehicle's lighting photocell determines that there is a nighttime ambient condition. Backlighting is not controlled through the use of the park lamp or headlamp switch. The conditions under which the photocell activates the backlighting may not satisfy each particular customer's personal expectations, or the customer may simply prefer to have the backlighting always illuminated on the IPC when headlamps are manually turned on. Correction Module reprogramming must be done using the Pass-Thru method. Select "Instrument Panel (Backlight Dimming Fix ONLY)" from the Supported Controllers list. For customers who wish to have the IPC backlighting illuminated, a new service calibration is now available that will activate the backlighting to full intensity during daytime hours with headlamps manually turned on. Reprogram the BCM using SPS. The new calibrations are currently available on TIS2WEB. Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Page 6393 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 1262 3.

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 in order to determine if the vehicle has a tire lead problem. Before performing any adjustment affecting wheel alignment, perform the following inspections and adjustments in order to ensure correct alignment readings: ^ Inspect the tires for the proper inflation and irregular tire wear. Refer to Tire Inflation Pressure Specifications and Tire Diagnosis - Irregular or Premature Wear. ^ Inspect the runout of the wheels and the tires. ^ Inspect the wheel bearings for backlash and excessive play. ^ Inspect the ball joints and tie rod ends for looseness or wear. ^ Inspect the control arms and stabilizer shaft for looseness or wear. ^ Inspect the steering gear for looseness at the frame. ^ Inspect the struts/shock absorbers for wear, leaks, and any noticeable noises. ^ Inspect the vehicle trim height. ^ Inspect the steering wheel for excessive drag or poor return due to stiff or rusted linkage or suspension components. ^ Inspect the fuel level. The fuel tank should be full or the vehicle should have a compensating load added. Give consideration to excess loads, such as tool boxes, sample cases, etc. If normally carried in the vehicle, these items should remain in the vehicle during alignment adjustments. Give consideration also to the condition of the equipment being used for the alignment. Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions. Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide range of alignment settings. However, if the setting exceeds the service allowable specifications, correct the alignment to the service preferred specifications. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications. Perform the following steps in order to measure the front and rear alignment angles: 1. Install the alignment equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions. 2. Jounce the front and the rear bumpers 3 times prior to checking the wheel alignment. 3. Measure the alignment angles and record the readings. Important: When performing adjustments to vehicles requiring a 4-wheel alignment, set the rear wheel alignment angles first in order to obtain proper front alignment angles. 4.

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. - Blower Control Module - Body Control Module (BCM) - Communication Interface Module (CIM) - Cooling Fan Control Module - Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) - Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module (EBTCM) - Electronic Suspension Control (ESC) Module - Engine Control Module (ECM) - Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Control Module Page 1594 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 10896 Conversion - English/Metric Part 1 Page 6687 Page 11691 Page 7548 Page 12351 The number above refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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.

The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) supplies the OnStar(R) button assembly with 10 volts via the keypad supply voltage circuit. Each of the buttons, when pressed, completes the circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM over the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned, the VCIM is able to identify which button has been activated. Conditions for Running the DTCs The ignition is ON. System voltage is between 9 - 16 volts. Conditions for Setting the DTCs B2476 04: The VCIM detects an open/high resistance on the keypad supply voltage circuit. B2482 and B2476 59: The VCIM detects a valid signal on the keypad signal circuit for more than 15 seconds. If one of the OnStar(R) buttons is held or stuck for 15 seconds or more, the VCIM will set these DTCs. Action Taken When the DTCs Set The OnStar(R) status LED turns red. No calls can be placed. The VCIM will ignore all inputs from the OnStar® button assembly. Conditions for Clearing the DTCs The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. Page 12147 10.4.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 3250 system, or the drivetrain. 3. This test is to verify that the drive belt or accessory drive components may be causing the vibration. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed. 4. The drive belt may cause a vibration. While the drive belt is removed this is the best time to inspect the condition of the belt. 6. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer was installed. 8. This step should only be performed if the fan is driven by the drive belt. Inspect the engine cooling fan for bent, twisted, loose, or cracked blades. Inspect the fan clutch for smoothness, ease of turning. Inspect for a bent fan shaft or bent mounting flange. 9. This step should only be performed if the water pump is driven by the drive belt. Inspect the water pump shaft for being bent. Also inspect the water pump bearings for smoothness and excessive play. Compare the water pump with a known good water pump. 10. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent, cracked, or loose may put extra strain on that accessory component causing it to vibrate. Drive Belt Whine Drive Belt Whine Diagnosis Diagnostic Aids The drive belt will not cause the whine noise. If the whine noise is intermittent, verify the accessory drive components by varying their loads making sure they are operated to their maximum capacity. Such items but not limited to may be an A/C system overcharged, the power steering system restricted or the wrong fluid, or the generator failing. Test Description The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 3. This test is to verify that the noise is being caused by the drive belt or the accessory drive components. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed. 4. The inspection should include checking the drive belt tensioner and the drive belt idler pulley bearings. The drive belt may have to be installed and the accessory drive components operated separately by varying their loads. Refer to the suspected accessory drive component for the proper inspection and replacement procedure. Campaign - Sun Visor Mirror Cover Replacement Technical Service Bulletin # 05094A Date: 060303 Campaign - Sun Visor Mirror Cover Replacement Bulletin No.: 05094A Date: March 03, 2006 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION Subject: 05094A - SUN VISOR MIRROR COVER NONFUNCTIONAL/BREAKAGE Models: 2005-2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU, MALIBU MAXX 2006 PONTIAC G6 Supercede: THE LABOR TIME IN THIS BULLETIN HAS BEEN REVISED.

The table explains the numbering system. Electrical Symbols Page 6707 Fuel: Specifications GASOLINE OCTANE Use regular unleaded gasoline with a posted octane of 87 or higher. If the octane is less than 87, you may get a heavy knocking noise when you drive. If this occurs, use a gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher as soon as possible. Otherwise, you might damage your engine. A little pinging noise when you accelerate or drive uphill is considered normal. This does not indicate a problem exists or that a higher-octane fuel is necessary. If you are using 87 octane or higher-octane fuel and hear heavy knocking, your engine needs service. GASOLINE SPECIFICATIONS It is recommended that gasoline meet specifications which were developed by automobile manufacturers around the world and contained in the World-Wide Fuel Charter which is available from the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers at www.autoalliance.org/fuel_charter.htm. Gasoline meeting these specifications could provide improved driveability and emission control system performance compared to other gasoline. CALIFORNIA FUEL If your vehicle is certified to meet California Emission Standards, it is designed to operate on fuels that meet California specifications. See the underhood emission control label. If this fuel is not available in states adopting California emissions standards, your vehicle will operate satisfactorily on fuels meeting federal specifications, but emission control system performance may be affected. The malfunction indicator lamp may turn on and your vehicle may fail a smog-check test. See Malfunction Indicator Lamp. If this occurs, return to your authorized GM dealer for diagnosis. If it is determined that the condition is caused by the type of fuel used, repairs may not be covered by your warranty. ADDITIVES To provide cleaner air, all gasolines in the United States are now required to contain additives that will help prevent engine and fuel system deposits from forming, allowing your emission control system to work properly. In most cases, you should not have to add anything to your fuel. However, some gasolines contain only the minimum amount of additive required to meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations. General Motors recommends that you buy gasolines that are advertised to help keep fuel injectors and intake valves clean. If your vehicle experiences problems due to dirty injectors or valves, try a different brand of gasoline. Also, your GM dealer has additives that will help correct and prevent most deposit-related problems. Gasolines containing oxygenates, such as ethers and ethanol, and reformulated gasolines may be available in your area to contribute to clean air. General Motors recommends that you use these gasolines, particularly if they comply with the specifications described earlier. NOTICE: Your vehicle was not designed for fuel that contains methanol. Do not use fuel containing methanol. It can corrode metal parts in your fuel system and also damage the plastic and rubber parts. That damage would not be covered under your warranty. Some gasolines that are not reformulated for low emissions may contain an octane-enhancing additive called methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT); ask the attendant where you buy gasoline whether the fuel contains MMT. General Motors does not recommend the use of such gasolines. Fuels containing MMT can reduce the life of spark plugs and the performance of the emission control system may be affected. The malfunction indicator lamp may turn on. FUELS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES If you plan on driving in another country outside the United States or Canada, the proper fuel may be hard to find. Never use leaded gasoline or any other fuel not recommended in the previous text on fuel. Costly repairs caused by use of improper fuel would not be covered by your warranty. To check the fuel availability, ask an auto club, or contact a major oil company that does business in the country where you will be driving. OnStar(R) - Incorrect GPS Position Reported During Call Emergency Contact Module: Customer Interest OnStar(R) - Incorrect GPS Position Reported During Call Bulletin No.: 02-08-46-006C Date: January 08, 2008 INFORMATION Subject: Incorrect OnStar(R) Global Positioning System (GPS) Location Reported During OnStar(R) Call Models: 2000-2008 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2008 HUMMER H2 2006-2008 HUMMER H3 2005-2008 Saab 9-7X with OnStar(R) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-006B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R) will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected. It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure. In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R) module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery. The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes. After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position. If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge. Warranty Information (excluding Saab US Models) For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.

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.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 7270 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 11200 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-50-009E (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). 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.

Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 13360 Body Control Module: Removal and Replacement BODY CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems. Page 5624 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 5422 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 4042 Body Control System Diagram 5 Locations: The locations for the Connectors, Grounds, Splices, and Grommets shown within these diagrams can be found via their numbers at Vehicle Locations.

The two initiators are part of the frontal deployment loop. The function of the frontal deployment loops are to supply current through the steering wheel and instrument panel (I/P) inflator modules to deploy the air bags. The inflator modules have two stages of deployment, which varies the amount of restraint to the occupant according to the collision severity. For moderate frontal collisions the inflator modules deploy at less than full deployment (low deployment) which consists of stage 1 of the inflator module. For more severe frontal collisions, a full deployment is initiated which consists of stage 1 and stage 2 of the inflator module. The current passing through the initiators ignites the material in the canister producing a rapid generation of gas and is some cases, the release of compressed gas. The gas produced from this reaction rapidly inflates the air bag. Once the air bag is inflated, it quickly deflates through the air bag vent holes and/or the bag fabric. Each dual stage inflator module is equipped with a shorting bar located in the connectors of the module. The shorting bar shorts the inflator module deployment loop circuitry to prevent unwanted deployment of the air bag when it is disconnected. Page 5956 Page 6032 Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Throttle Actuator Control (Tac) System POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE The powertrain control module (PCM) is the control center for the throttle actuator control (TAC) system. The PCM determines the drivers intent and then calculates the appropriate throttle response. The PCM achieves throttle positioning by providing a pulse width modulated voltage to the TAC motor. Diagrams Sunload Sensor Page 6314 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3.

Inspect the brake caliper for brake fluid leaks while performing the hydraulic brake system bleeding procedure after the caliper has been installed to the vehicle. If the brake caliper leaks brake fluid from the FRONT of the caliper past the piston dust boot seal, replace the caliper piston assembly. The piston integral adjustment mechanism contains a non-serviceable seal which may be allowing brake fluid to leak past it through a bleed hole near the end of the caliper piston. Page 7629 Page 9403 Page 5398 Page 774 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. OnStar(R) - Cellular Antenna Replacement Parts Antenna, Phone: Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Cellular Antenna Replacement Parts Bulletin No.: 00-08-46-002A Date: April 12, 2005 INFORMATION Subject: OnStar(R) System Cellular Antenna Replacement Parts Availability Models: 1996-2005 Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2003-2005 HUMMER H2 with OnStar(R) and Glass Mounted Antennas Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years, models and parts information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-08-46-002 (Section 08 - Body & Accessories). Replacement parts for the OnStar(R) system cellular antenna are available as follows: ^ Cellular Antenna Kit - If the antenna mast or exterior base is damaged or missing or if the antenna base has separated from the exterior glass surface. ^ Cellular Antenna Inner Coupling - If the antenna coupling on the inside of the glass requires replacement. Important: If glass replacement is required, both the Cellular Antenna Kit and the Cellular Antenna Inner Coupling are required. The kits listed contain all the necessary parts and instructions needed to properly install a new cellular antenna exterior base or interior coupling to the glass surface. To obtain maximum adhesion during installation, the instructions included in the kits must be followed carefully and exactly as written. Important: Do not attempt to reinstall the original cellular antenna exterior base or interior coupling using any type of glue, adhesive tapes, etc. Doing so may eliminate the cellular signal transfer through the glass and reduce the maximum performance of the system that includes air bag deployment notification. Important: To obtain maximum adhesion between the new cellular exterior base or interior coupling and the glass surface, the base, coupling and glass must be kept dry and above 15°C (60°F) during the installation and for the 24 hours immediately following the installation. Not keeping the vehicle dry and above the temperature listed for 24 hours may result in the new cellular antenna exterior base or interior coupling coming off.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-03-10-006B (Section 03 - Suspension). Condition Some customers may comment on a tire that slowly loses air pressure over a period of days or weeks. Cause Abrasive elements in the environment may intrude between the tire and wheel at the bead seat. There is always some relative motion between the tire and wheel (when the vehicle is driven) and this motion may cause the abrasive particles to wear the wheel and tire materials. As the wear continues, there may also be intrusion at the tire/wheel interface by corrosive media from the environment. Eventually a path for air develops and a 'slow' leak may ensue. This corrosion may appear on the inboard or outboard bead seating surface of the wheel. This corrosion will not be visible until the tire is dismounted from the wheel. Notice This bulletin specifically addresses issues related to wheel bead seat corrosion that may result in an air leak. For issues related to porosity of the wheel casting that may result in an air leak, please refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-006F - Low Tire Pressure, Leaking Cast Aluminum Wheels (Repair with Adhesive Sealant) Correction In most cases, this type of air loss can be corrected by following the procedure below. Important DO NOT replace a wheel for slow air loss unless you have evaluated and/or tried to repair the wheel with the procedure below.

Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Campaign - Deactivation Of Analog OnStar(R) Technical Service Bulletin # 08089C Date: 081118 Campaign - Deactivation Of Analog OnStar(R) # 08089C: Special Coverage Adjustment - Analog OnStar Deactivation (Nov 18, 2008) Subject: 08089C -- SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT - ANALOG ONSTAR(R) DEACTIVATION Page 5582 Information Bus: Scan Tool Testing and Procedures DATA LINK REFERENCES This table identifies which serial data link that a particular module uses for in-vehicle data transmission.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.

GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 12598 Page 11408 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Specifications Connecting Rod Bearing: Specifications Connecting Rod Bearing Clearance ...................................................................................................................... 0.029-0.069 mm (0.0011-0.0027 inch) Connecting Rod Bore Diameter - Bearing End ............................................................................................... 52.118-52.134 mm (2.0519-2.05252 inch) Connecting Rod Bore Diameter - Pin End ........................................................................................................ 20.007-20.021 mm (0.7877-0.7882 inch) Connecting Rod Side Clearance ............................................................................................................................ 0.070-0.370 mm (0.0028-0.0146 inch) Connecting Rod Straightness - Bend - Maximum ........................................................................................................................ 0.021 mm (0.0083 inch) Connecting Rod Straightness - Twist - Maximum ......................................................................................................................... 0.04 mm (0.0157 inch) Page 13099 Important The following information MUST be documented on the repair order.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 20 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 12002 Description and Operation Fuel Return Line: Description and Operation FUEL FEED PIPES The fuel feed pipe carries fuel from the fuel tank to the fuel injection system. The fuel pipe consists of 3 sections: The rear fuel pipe is located from the top of the fuel tank to the chassis fuel pipe. The rear fuel pipe is constructed of nylon. - The chassis fuel pipe is located under the vehicle and connects the rear fuel pipe to the engine compartment fuel pipe. The chassis fuel pipe is constructed of galvanized aluminum. - The engine compartment fuel pipe connects the chassis fuel feed pipe to the fuel rail. The engine compartment fuel pipe is constructed of steel. NYLON FUEL PIPES CAUTION: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury observe the following items: Replace all nylon fuel pipes that are nicked, scratched or damaged during installation, do not attempt to repair the sections of the nylon fuel pipes - Do not hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips when installing new fuel pipes. Damage to the nylon pipes may result in a fuel leak. - Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet towel before using a torch near them. Also, never expose the vehicle to temperatures higher than 15°C (239°F) for more than one hour, or more than 90°C (194°F) for any extended period. - Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends before connecting fuel pipe fittings. This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. (During normal operation, the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated.) Nylon pipes are constructed to withstand maximum fuel system pressure, exposure to fuel additives, and changes in temperature. There are 2 sizes of nylon pipes used: 9.53 mm (3/8 in) ID for the fuel feed - 12.7 mm (1/2 in) ID for the vent Heat resistant rubber hose or corrugated plastic conduit protect the sections of the pipes that are exposed to chafing, high temperature, or vibration. Nylon fuel pipes are somewhat flexible and can be formed around gradual turns under the vehicle. However, if nylon fuel pipes are forced into sharp bends, the pipes kink and restrict the fuel flow. Also, once exposed to fuel, nylon pipes may become stiffer and are more likely to kink if bent too far. Take special care when working on a vehicle with nylon fuel pipes. Page 4218 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3. Use the proper pick or removal tool (1) in order to release the terminal. Page 8538 Important: DO NOT reuse the copper brake hose gaskets. 6.

The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear, or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have a no power/no communication condition. 2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com. 3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle. Note: If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module. 4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original analog production or digital upgrade. 5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required for a new module replacement. Do not discard. 6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. Locations Data Link Connector: Locations Instrument Panel Page 4509 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 9623 For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.

Disconnect the mass air flow (MAF) sensor electrical connector. 2. Remove the MAF sensor screws. 3. Remove the MAF sensor from the air cleaner cover. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 1. Install the MAF sensor to the air cleaner cover. NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Tighten the screws to 0.6 N.m (5 lb in). 2. Connect the MAF sensor electrical connector. 3. Start and idle the engine. 4. Inspect the air intake duct for leaks. Page 10890 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 8029 Page 11576 2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules. Part 1 OnStar(R) Description and Operation This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components: ^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) ^ OnStar(R) button assembly ^ Microphone ^ Cellular antenna ^ Navigation antenna Note This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system. Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging. Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the serial data bus. The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R) system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand. The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request. OnStar(R) Button Assembly The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit. The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as follows: ^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer and end calls or initiate speech recognition. ^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to connect to the OnStar(R) call center. ^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed. The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit. When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed. The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will flash red during the call. If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the account status. Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly. Page 11695 OnStar(R) Microphone The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit. In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the microphone. Cellular and GPS Antennas The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas: ^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas. ^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a single part. ^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM). The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna. The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10 minutes to register in the event of a loss of power. Audio System Interface When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle receives a call with the radio ON. On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return to its previous setting. OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it. By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands. The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network. The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body control module (BCM). OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle) The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended. A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2 and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by accessing www.onstarenrollment.com All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 1749 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 5612 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 1689 English Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development ENGLISH PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Thread Inserts THREAD INSERTS General purpose thread repair kits.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 1639 Page 4576 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 8084 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 770 Page 10809 Page 2055 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order.

In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Body Controls - BCM Cross Platform Functionality Body Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Body Controls - BCM Cross Platform Functionality INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 09-08-47-002 Date: November 17, 2009 Subject: Information on Body Control Module (BCM) Functionality Across Vehicle Lines Models: 2004-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt 2006-2010 Chevrolet HHR 2005-2009 Pontiac G6 2006-2009 Pontiac Solstice 2007-2009 Saturn AURA, SKY The purpose of this bulletin is to address the unique differences in Body Control Module (BCM) functionality of the affected vehicles. Many electrical functions on these vehicles do not directly involve the BCM, even though they may on other vehicles. The cooling fans, for example, are controlled by the engine control module (ECM) on the Malibu, but are controlled by the BCM on the Impala. The BCM is primarily a gateway between the high- and low-speed GMLAN serial data buses on the above listed vehicles. Functions That Do Not Involve the BCM The following list of features and functions are not controlled or dependent on the BCM: Important The BCM should NOT be replaced for conditions in these areas. - Cooling fans - Clock display - Radio display - Power mirrors - OnStar(R) - Rear wiper (on Malibu Maxx) - Warning lamps - Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) - Driver seat belt reminder light and chime - Power windows Important The BCM also acts as a power distribution center and may provide a fused battery feed to the modules that actually do control the above functions. Do not assume a similar control module issue will apply to different vehicle lines. Refer to SI for the appropriate description and operation and diagnostic information. Disclaimer Page 7665 Page 3614 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 1825 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.

The state of this switch is checked by the BCM during a remote vehicle start request and the component must function properly in order for the vehicle to commence a remote start event. During the infancy of this option (RPO AP3/AP8) parts return analysis showed a significantly shorter than expected component life for the Hood Latch Switch shared across many different GM vehicles. The switches currently being factory installed, and sent as service replacement parts, are vastly improved in design and suitably robust. Most hood latch switches currently returned under warranty are analyzed and determined to have no trouble found (NTF). It is understandable and desirable that technicians gain familiarity with the vehicles they service on a daily basis, however it is required that technicians follow Strategy Based Diagnostics before replacing this switch. Important: The ONLY way to repair or replace a hood latch switch is to replace the LATCH ASSEMBLY. The switch CANNOT be serviced separately from the latch and is NOT AVAILABLE from GMSPO. Any effort to remove the switch from the latch will permanently damage the switch and void the warranty coverage of that part. Important: The hood switch provides status of the hood to the BCM for RVS purposes. The switch is integrated into the hood latch assembly. The hood ajar switch provides two separate inputs to the BCM. These separate inputs allow the BCM to actively monitor for a hood ajar switch fault. RVS System Operation The remote vehicle start (RVS) function allows engine starting while not in the vehicle. It also allows the vehicle HVAC system and other vehicle systems to enable providing a comfortable vehicle upon entry. RVS functions have an operating range of up to 59 m (195 ft) depending on conditions. The RVS sequence begins by pressing and releasing the lock button and then pressing and holding the RVS buttons on the keyless entry transmitter. The turn signal lamps will illuminate to indicate the vehicle has received the remote start request. Each time an RVS is performed the vehicle doors are locked; however they may then be unlocked/locked with the transmitter or vehicle key at any time. Once activated the engine is allowed to run for 10 minutes. The RVS time may be extended by an additional 10 minutes by again pressing and releasing the lock button and then pressing and holding the RVS buttons on the transmitter. This feature is called an RVS continue and allows a maximum of 20 minutes of engine running. If the RVS continue is performed at 7 minutes into the initial 10 minute time-out a total of 17 minutes of engine running would occur. The RVS event may be suspended at any time by pressing only the RVS button on the transmitter or by entering the vehicle and turning ON the hazard lamps. RVS System Description Remote vehicle start (RVS) begins as a Radio Frequency (RF) message received by the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) from a keyless entry transmitter. The RVS request is sent by the RCDLR to the body control module (BCM) via serial data line. The BCM monitors system conditions such as content theft deterrent (CTD) closures ajar status and body DTCs to determine if an RVS event will occur. If conditions are determined to be acceptable the RVS message is sent to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM monitors system conditions such as engine control parameters and vehicle theft deterrent (VTD) to determine if engine starting will be allowed. If conditions are acceptable the ECM will initiate engine starting. During Page 14250 the engine run time in an RVS attempt before the operator enters the vehicle the ECM may discontinue engine operation if system conditions require it or a message is received from the BCM requesting the engine be turned OFF. Reasons an RVS event will NOT Happen The RVS System WILL NOT operate if any of the following conditions are present: ^ A current vehicle DTC that illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is set - obtain vehicle DTCs. ^ Keyless Entry Transmitter is not Operational. ^ The vehicle is in Valet Mode. ^ RVS is Disabled through Vehicle Personalization. ^ More than 2 Remote Starts have been attempted. ^ The HAZARD switch is in the ON position. ^ A current HAZARD switch DTC is set. ^ A current HOOD AJAR DTC is set. ^ Rear compartment lid is ajar. ^ Any Door is not locked. ^ The Content Theft Deterrent (CTD) system detects an alarm trigger. ^ Engine RPM greater than 0 Detected. ^ Excessive Coolant TEMP is registered. ^ Accelerator pedal position greater than 0 percent. ^ Vehicle is not in PARK. ^ A current Vehicle Theft Deterrent Malfunction DTC. ^ A current Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control System DTC is set. ^ A vehicle speed sensor signal is detected by the ECM. ^ Vehicle power mode is incorrect.

Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 9943 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 11884 Page 1222 Adjustable Pedals Position Switch Page 8986 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 3432 21. Remove the balance shaft drive chain tensioner. 22.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3.

Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 7019 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 12017 7.1. Remove the console (A) together with the OnStar(R) control modules. 7.2.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 941 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 451 Page 8901 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 14150 Refer to the General Motors WINS Claims Processing Manual for details on Product Recall Claim Submission.

Start the engine and let run for one minute. Page 9105 Page 2153 Page 8957 What if I input the VIN incorrectly? If an incorrect VIN is entered into the system (meaning that the system does not recognize the VIN or that the VIN has been entered incorrectly) the system will return an error message. If I am an authorized user for the KeyCode application, can I access the application from home? Yes. What if I suspect key code misuse? Your dealership should communicate the proper procedures for requesting key codes. Any suspicious activity either within the dealership or externally should be reported to Dealer Systems Support at 1-800-265-0573 or GM of Canada Key Code Inquiry Desk at 1-905-644-4892. Whose key codes can I access through the system? At this time the following Canadian vehicle codes are available through the system: Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac, GMC, HUMMER (H2 and H3 only), Oldsmobile, Saturn, Saab and Isuzu (up to 2002 model year) for a maximum of 17 model years. What should I do if I enter a valid VIN and the system does not produce any key code information? Occasionally, the KeyCode Look Up application may not produce a key code for a valid VIN. This may be the result of new vehicle information not yet available. In addition, older vehicle information may have been sent to an archive status. If you do not receive a key code returned for valid VIN, you should contact GM of Canada Key Code Inquiry Desk at 1-905-644-4892. How do I access KeyCodes if the KeyCode Look-up system is down? If the KeyCode Look-up system is temporarily unavailable, you can contact the original selling dealer who may have it on file or contact GM of Canada Key Code Inquiry Desk at 1-905-644-4892. If the customer is dealing with an emergency lock-out situation, you need to have the customer contact Roadside assistance, OnStar if subscribed, or 911. What should I do if the KeyCode from the look-up system does not work on the vehicle? On occasion a dealer may encounter a KeyCode that will not work on the vehicle in question. In cases where the KeyCode won't work you will need to verify with the manufacturer of the cutting equipment that the key has been cut correctly. If the key has been cut correctly you may be able to verify the proper KeyCode was given through the original selling dealer. When unable to verify the KeyCode through the original selling dealer contact GM of Canada Key Code Inquiry Desk at 1-905-644-4892. If the key has been cut correctly and the code given does not work, the lock cylinder may have been changed. In these situations following the proper SI document for recoding a key or replacing the lock cylinder may be necessary. How long do I have to keep KeyCode Records? Dealership KeyCode documentation must be retained for two years. Can I get a KeyCode changed in the Look-Up system? Yes, KeyCodes can be changed in the Look-Up system if a lock cylinder has been changed. Contact GM of Canada Key Code Inquiry Desk at 1-905-644-4892. What information do I need before I can provide a driver of a company fleet vehicle Keys or KeyCode information? The dealership should have a copy of the individual's driver's license, proof of employment and registration. If there is any question as to the customer's employment by the fleet company, the dealer should attempt to contact the fleet company for verification. If there is not enough information to determine ownership and employment, this information should not be provided. How do I document a request from an Independent Repair facility for a KeyCode or Key? The independent must provide a copy of their driver's license, proof of employment and signed copy of the repair order for that repair facility. The repair order must include customer's name, address, VIN, city, province and license plate number. Copies of this information must be included in your dealer KeyCode file. Locations Fuse Block: Locations Left Side Of Core Support Front Inside Left Rear Quarter Panel Rear (Sedan) Page 11799 Page 4187 Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Throttle Actuator Control (Tac) System POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE The powertrain control module (PCM) is the control center for the throttle actuator control (TAC) system.

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.

This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2.

CV: Removing the OnStar(R) control modules and securing the wiring: Adjustment/Replacement. 8.1. Open the luggage compartment floor. Page 1675 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 7582 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern.

If an option is not installed on the vehicle, the scan tool will display No Comm for that options control module. In order to avert misdiagnoses of No Communication with a specific module, refer to Data Link References for a list of modules, the busses they communicate with, and the RPO codes for a specific module. Page 9977 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 6623 Air Filter Element: Service and Repair AIR CLEANER ELEMENT REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-08-46-003A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). Navigation and OnStar(R) systems require a GPS antenna in order to function properly. This antenna may be located inside the vehicle. If the GPS antenna is located inside the vehicle, performance of the system may be compromised by window tinting film. If the GPS system performance is in question and the vehicle has window tinting, a quick diagnostic check can be made by temporarily moving the GPS antenna to an external vehicle surface, such as the decklid or roof. If the GPS function of the navigation or On Star(R) system operates normally with the antenna relocated the repair would not be considered a warranty repair. The subsequent repair procedure or GPS placement would be up to the customer. Some vehicles have the GPS antenna located on the rear window shelf Objects placed on the rear window shelf such as tissue boxes, books, dolls, etc,, also have the potential to interfere with GPS performance. Warranty Information Repairs made to the vehicle navigation and/or OnStar(R) system, which are the result of window tinting, are not considered warranty repairs.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-02-32-007F (Section 02 - Steering). Condition 1 Some customers may comment on a clunk noise heard and felt in the steering wheel while driving at slow speeds and turning. The clunk noise may appear to be directly in front of the driver. Hitting a bump while turning can produce the clunk noise. Sometimes the noise may be duplicated when the vehicle is sitting still and the steering wheel is turned 90 degrees in either direction before initially centering the steering wheel. Cause 1 The clunk noise may be caused by a slip/stick condition between the inner and outer components of the intermediate shaft. Important Revised design intermediate shafts went into production in the 2009 model year and are the only design currently available through GMSPO since approximately September 2008. Since any model year vehicle could have had a second design shaft installed, it is critical to identify it before proceeding. The revised design intermediate shafts will NOT tolerate any type of lubricant per the following instructions. Adding lube to the second design shafts will cause a clunk noise in a very short period of time. Use the following pictures to identify which design of shaft you are servicing.

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

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 7515 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

Significant additional mass can affect trim height and wheel alignment of the vehicle and may necessitate a customer pay wheel alignment when placed semi-permanently in the vehicle (Upfitter instructions are to realign the vehicle after placement of these types of items. (This typically applies to trucks and incomplete vehicles that can be upfit with equipment such as the above.) Customer Concerns, "Normal Operation" Conditions and "Mileage Policy" Possible Concerns The following are typical conditions that may require wheel alignment warranty service: 1. Lead/Pull: defined as "at a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, the amount of effort required at the steering wheel to maintain the vehicle's straight heading." Important Please evaluate for the condition with hands-on the steering wheel. Follow the "Vehicle Leads/Pulls" diagnostic tree located in SI to determine the cause of a lead/pull concern. Lead/Pull concerns can be due to road crown or road slope, tires, wheel alignment or even in rare circumstances a steering gear issue. Lead/pull concerns due to road crown are considered "Normal Operation" and are NOT a warrantable condition -- the customer should be advised that this is "Normal Operation." Important Some customers may comment on a "Lead/Pull" when they hold the steering wheel in a level condition. If so, this is more likely a "steering wheel angle" concern because the customer is "steering" the vehicle to obtain a "level" steering wheel. 2. Steering wheel angle to the left or right (counter-clockwise or clockwise, respectively): Defined as the steering wheel angle (clocking) deviation from "level" while maintaining a straight heading on a typical straight road. 3. Irregular or Premature tire wear: Slight to very slight "feathering" or "edge" wear on the shoulders of tires is NOT considered unusual and should even out with a tire rotation; if the customer is concerned about a "feathering" condition of the tires, the customer could be advised to rotate the tires earlier than the next scheduled mileage/maintenance interval (but no later than the next interval). Be sure to understand the customer's driving habits as this will also heavily influence the tire wear performance; tire wear from aggressive or abusive driving habits is NOT a warrantable condition. Important Slight or mild feathering, cupping, edge or heel/toe wear of tire tread shoulders is "normal" and can show up very early in a tire/vehicle service mileage; in fact, some new tires can show evidence of feathering from the factory. These issues do NOT affect the overall performance and tread life of the tire. Dealer personnel should always check the customer's maintenance records to ensure that tire inflation pressure is being maintained to placard and that the tires are being rotated (modified-X pattern) at the proper mileage intervals. Wheel alignments are NOT to be performed for the types of "Normal" Tire Feathering shown in Figures 1-4 below. Page 6494 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 1089 Page 6472 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 102 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 8726 3.

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

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

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 7540 Assistance for all GM fleet customers using GM STC products and services is provided on the Internet via www.gmcommontraining.com using the "Contact Us" button on the site and/or the GM Common Training Help Desk at 1-888-748-2687.

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 Page 1810 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 10420 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 9077 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 6513 Page 5192 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 4854 Crankshaft Position Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual.

Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 1575 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 893 Claim Information (GM and Saturn Canada Only) Submit a Product Recall Claim with the information shown.

Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005 Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued September 2008. Condition In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On Star(R) is unable to continue analog service. OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However, since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call, the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained. Special Policy Adjustment At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service will be made at no charge to the customer. This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles. Vehicles Involved Page 8724 6.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories.

The scan tool is then used to pulse each injector for a precise amount of time allowing a measured amount of fuel into the manifold. This causes a drop in system fuel pressure that can be recorded and used to compare each injector. TEST DESCRIPTION Page 5713 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 4580 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 7344 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 13980 4. Remove the grille from the fascia. Installation Procedure 1. Position the grille tab retainers to the slots in the fascia. Page 5445 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2.

Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-03-10-006B (Section 03 - Suspension). Condition Some customers may comment on a tire that slowly loses air pressure over a period of days or weeks. Cause Abrasive elements in the environment may intrude between the tire and wheel at the bead seat. There is always some relative motion between the tire and wheel (when the vehicle is driven) and this motion may cause the abrasive particles to wear the wheel and tire materials. As the wear continues, there may also be intrusion at the tire/wheel interface by corrosive media from the environment. Eventually a path for air develops and a 'slow' leak may ensue. This corrosion may appear on the inboard or outboard bead seating surface of the wheel. This corrosion will not be visible until the tire is dismounted from the wheel. Notice This bulletin specifically addresses issues related to wheel bead seat corrosion that may result in an air leak. For issues related to porosity of the wheel casting that may result in an air leak, please refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-006F - Low Tire Pressure, Leaking Cast Aluminum Wheels (Repair with Adhesive Sealant) Correction In most cases, this type of air loss can be corrected by following the procedure below. Important DO NOT replace a wheel for slow air loss unless you have evaluated and/or tried to repair the wheel with the procedure below. Notice The repair is no longer advised or applicable for chromed aluminum wheels. 1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly for diagnosis. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in SI. 2. After a water dunk tank leak test, if you determine the source of the air leak to be around the bead seat of the wheel, dismount the tire to examine the bead seat. Shown below is a typical area of bead seat corrosion.Typical Location of Bead Seat Corrosion Page 776 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 5848 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Page 11016 Page 2597 Refrigerant Filter: Service and Repair Suction Screen Installation SUCTION SCREEN INSTALLATION TOOLS REQUIRED J 44551 Suction Screen Kit IMPORTANT: Suction screens are intended to be installed in the suction hose after a major compressor failure. The suction screens are available in 3 different sizes. 1. Insert the J 44551-6 Sizing Tool (1) into the suction hose to select the correct size suction screen. 2.

Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 12815 switch lighting connector. 3.3. Undo the floor console's retaining bolts (C). 3.4.

Save the bracket nuts for later use. Page 6003 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Description and Operation Canister Vent Valve: Description and Operation EVAP VENT SOLENOID VALVE The evaporative emission (EVAP) vent solenoid valve controls fresh airflow into the EVAP canister. The valve is normally open. The control module commands the valve ON, closing the valve during some EVAP tests, allowing the system to be tested for leaks. Locations Top of Engine Page 9262 4.

Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to the 3-digit identification number is set. Page 10767 Page 11890 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.

Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Electrical - Intermittent MIL/DTC P2138/Reduced Power Wiring Harness: Customer Interest Electrical - Intermittent MIL/DTC P2138/Reduced Power TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 07-06-04-019D Date: June 28, 2010 Subject: Intermittent Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Illuminated, DTC P2138 with Reduced Engine Power (Repair Instrument Panel (IP) to Body Harness Connector) Models: 2005-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2005-2009 HUMMER H2 2006-2010 HUMMER H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years and warranty information.

The control module will disable the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds unless the control module detects ignition reference pulses. The control module continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as ignition reference pulses are detected. The control module disables the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds if ignition reference pulses cease to be detected and the ignition remains ON. The fuel system is a returnless on-demand design. The fuel pressure regulator is a part of the fuel sender assembly, eliminating the need for a return pipe from the engine. A returnless fuel system reduces the internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the engine to the fuel tank. Reducing the internal temperature of the fuel tank results in lower evaporative emissions. The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel sender assembly inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel filter, contained in the fuel sender assembly, and the fuel feed pipe to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow than is needed by the fuel injection system. The fuel pump also supplies fuel to a venturi pump located on the bottom of the fuel sender assembly. The function of the venturi pump is to fill the fuel sender assembly reservoir. The fuel pressure regulator, a part of the fuel sender assembly, maintains the correct fuel pressure to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump and sender assembly contains a reverse flow check valve. The check valve and the fuel pressure regulator maintain fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long cracking times. TEST Page 11306 Page 12641 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 6845 Steps 6 - 8 The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table. 3. The engine coolant temperature (ECT) must be below the operating temperature in order to avoid irregular fuel pressure readings due to hot soak fuel boiling. Specifications Idle Speed: Specifications Information not supplied by the manufacturer. Page 4127 4.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 7114 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.

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

The APP sensors 1 and 2 are potentiometer type sensors each with 3 circuits: - A 5-volt reference circuit - A low reference circuit - A signal circuit The APP sensors are used to determine the pedal angle. The powertrain control module (PCM) provides each APP sensor a 5-volt reference circuit and a low reference circuit. The APP sensors provide the PCM with signal voltage proportional to the pedal movement. The APP sensor 1 signal voltage at rest position is near the low reference and increases as the pedal is actuated. The APP sensor 2 signal voltage at rest position is near the 5-volt reference and decreases as the pedal is actuated. Transmission Mount Inspection Transmission Mount: Service and Repair Transmission Mount Inspection Transmission Mount Inspection Inspection Procedure Notice: In order to avoid oil pan damage and possible engine failure, insert a block of wood that spans the width of the oil pan bottom between the oil pan and the jack support. Important: Before replacing any transmission mount due to a suspected fluid loss, verify that the source of the fluid is the mount. 1. Raise the transmission/transaxle in order to relieve tension in the mount. 2. Observe the mount while raising the transmission/transaxle. Raising the transmission/transaxle removes the weight from the mount. 3. Replace the mount if it exhibits any of the following conditions: ^ The hard rubber surface is covered with heat check cracks. ^ The rubber is separated from the outer metal sleeve of the mount. ^ The rubber is split through the center of the transmission mount. ^ The mount is leaking fluid. 4. When replacing the transmission mounts or brackets, refer to the following procedures: ^ Transmission Mount Replacement - Front ^ Transmission Mount Replacement - Rear ^ Transmission Mount Replacement - Side Page 1099 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 5095 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 1929 Listed are Registered Trademarks ((R)) or Non-Registered Trademarks ((TM)) which may appear in this service data.

Locate and gain access to the OnStar® VIU. Refer to OnStar Vehicle Interface Unit Replacement in SI. Important: Complete removal of the VIU is usually not required. Perform only the steps required to gain access to the C2 32-way blue connector. Residing in the C2 connector are the battery positive (+) circuits. Removal of the C2 connector will deactivate the unit and eliminate the possibility of an inadvertent OnStar(R) or emergency/airbag call. Page 11294 This service data uses various symbols in order to describe different service operations. Page 2547 The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. This inspection is to verify the condition of the drive belt. Damage may of occurred to the drive belt when the drive belt fell off. The drive belt may of been damaged, which caused the drive belt to fall off. Inspect the belt for cuts, tears, sections of ribs missing, or damaged belt plys. 4. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure of that pulley. 5. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is used to drive the pulley. 6. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked 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. Drive Belt Rumbling Drive Belt Rumbling Diagnosis Diagnostic Aids Vibration from the engine operating may cause a body component or another part of the vehicle to make rumbling noise. The drive belt may have a condition that can not be seen or felt. Sometimes replacing the drive belt may be the only repair for the symptom. If replacing the drive belt, completing the diagnostic table, and the noise is only heard when the drive belt is installed, there might be an accessory drive component with a failure. Varying the load on the different accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is causing the rumbling noise.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-08-64-020B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment on a creak or squeak noise when opening or closing one or more doors. Cause This condition may be caused by the door check link spring saddle. Correction Important: To prevent overspray from landing on the door glass, make sure all windows are rolled up before applying the lubricant to the check link. Slide the check link grommet back and spray GM Lubriplate(R) Lubricant, P/N 89021668 (in Canada, use P/N 89021674), or equivalent, on the check link saddle using a "straw" type nozzle extension. The nozzle extension should be inserted slightly into the opening above the check link arm and sprayed toward the outside of the door. If the nozzle is inserted too far into the door, it will go past the check link spring saddle and the lubricant will miss its target. Move the nozzle back and forth while spraying to distribute the lubricant. Open and shut the door until the noise is gone. Reinstall the check link grommet in the door.

Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued September 2008. Condition In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On Star(R) is unable to continue analog service. OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However, since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call, the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained. Special Policy Adjustment At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service will be made at no charge to the customer. This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles. Vehicles Involved Page 12705 Page 4326 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 6096 Conversion - English/Metric Part 1 Page 3593 Service and Repair Crankshaft Main Bearing Seal: Service and Repair Crankshaft Rear Oil Seal Replacement ^ Tools Required J 42067 Rear Main Seal Installer Removal Procedure 1.

Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 4911 Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is a permanent magnet generator, known as a variable reluctance sensor. The CKP sensor produces an AC voltage of different amplitude and frequency. The frequency depends on the velocity of the crankshaft. The AC voltage output depends on the crankshaft position and the battery voltage. The CKP sensor works in conjunction with a 7X reluctor wheel attached to the crankshaft. The CKP sensor produces 7 pulses for each revolution of the crankshaft. The pulse from the 10-degree notch is known as the sync pulse. The sync pulse is used to synchronize the coil firing sequence with the crankshaft position. The CKP sensor is used for ignition timing, the fuel injector timing, misfire diagnostics and tachometer display. The CKP sensor is connected to the ECM by a signal circuit and a low reference circuit. Page 4660 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 1 Page 5145 For vehicles repairs under warranty, use the table.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 1957 Service and Repair Front Subframe: Service and Repair Frame Replacement (W/L61) Removal Procedure 1.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2.

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

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 4212 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 8560 Important When using any one of the brake labor operations listed in this bulletin (except for H9709 - Brake Burnish), the following two rotor measurements (1. Original Rotor Thickness, 2.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 11338 Disclaimer Page 6106 Assistance for all GM fleet customers using GM STC products and services is provided on the Internet via www.gmcommontraining.com using the "Contact Us" button on the site and/or the GM Common Training Help Desk at 1-888-748-2687.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3.

All nodes also continuously perform a self-test while in an active state. DTCs and their associated telltales will set as a result of unprogrammed or unlearned information. DTCs, which are defined for system configuration (e.g. Vehicle Option Content not programmed) do not support the history status bit (set =0). Warning indicator bit is also set, when applicable, while this DTC is present. Action Taken When the DTCs Sets The module suspends all message transmission. The module uses default values for all parameters received on the serial data circuits. The module inhibits the setting of all other communication DTCs. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction. Circuit/System Verification Refer to Data Link References to determine which serial data system is used for a specific module. The DTCs cannot be retrieved with a current status. Diagnosis is accomplished using the following symptom procedures: Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device in SI. OR Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Low Speed GMLAN Device in SI.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Specifications Page 5942 Page 10321 Caution: Before installing the wheels, remove any buildup of corrosion on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or disc mounting surface by scraping and wire brushing. Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This can cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is moving, causing loss of control and possibly personal injury. Important: Wheel nuts, studs, and mounting surfaces must be clean and dry. 1. Remove any corrosion or foreign material from the wheel and the hub mounting surfaces. 2. Clean the threads on the wheel studs and wheel nuts. 3. Install the tire and wheel assembly. Align the locating mark of the wheel to the hub. 4. Install the wheel nuts. Notice: A torque wrench or J 39544 must be used to ensure that wheel nuts are tightened to specification. Never use lubricants or penetrating fluids on wheel stud, nuts, or mounting surfaces, as this can raise the actual torque on the nut without a corresponding torque reading on the torque wrench. Wheel nuts, studs, and mounting surfaces must be clean and dry. Failure to follow these instructions could result in wheel, nut, and/or stud damage. Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Important: Tighten the nuts evenly and alternately in the sequence shown, in order to avoid excessive runout. 5. Using the J 39544-KIT, tighten the wheel nuts in the sequence shown. ^ Tighten the nuts in sequence to 140 Nm (100 ft. lbs.). 6. Install the wheel nut caps, if equipped. 7. Install the wheel center cap, if equipped. 8. Lower the vehicle. Page 6605 Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor Page 5699 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 459 A current DTC clears when the condition for setting the DTC is no longer present. A history DTC clears after 50 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Ask for GM Item Number 1825 when ordering. Disclaimer Page 6086 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 3164 Page 1295 Front Passenger Seat (With RPO Code KA1) Page 7135 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Page 3380 2.

Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 6642 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 10858 Diagram Information and Instructions Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions Passenger Car Zoning PASSENGER CAR ZONING All grounds, in-line connectors, pass-through grommets, and splices have identifying numbers that correspond to where they are located in the vehicle.

Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 10110 7. Wipe off any excessive grease on the intermediate shaft to avoid damage from drips on the carpet. 8. Install the instrument panel insulator panel - left side. 9. Verify that the noise is no longer present. Condition 2 There may be interference between the clamp and the steering gear input shaft. The clamp is beveled and if forced down on the input shaft too hard, it may cause a loose fit with the intermediate shaft to input shaft joint. Correction 2 To correct this condition, perform the following steps: 1. Remove the intermediate shaft pinch bolt at the steering gear end. 2. Install a new bolt, GM P/N 07845238, but do not tighten the bolt at this time. 3. Pry the clamp up using a pry bar to position the bolt into the upper part of the groove as shown above. This will position the clamp off the bevel. 4. While keeping the clamp in the upper position, tighten the bolt. Tighten Tighten the bolt to 49 Nm (36 lb ft). 5. Verify that the clunk noise is no longer present. Condition 3 Important This condition ONLY applies to 2004-2007 Chevrolet Malibu/Maxx and 2005-2007 Pontiac G6. Some customers may comment on a knocking or rattling type noise from the front of the vehicle when driven at low speeds and over bumps. The noise only occurs when the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position and sounds like the noise is in the left suspension of the vehicle or directly in front of the driver. Correction 3 1. Ensure the noise is not caused by Condition # 1. 2. Determine the source of the noise. Install the chassis ears at the following locations: - sway bar link - one side at a time - upper strut mount - one side at a time - steering gear near the pinion area - base of the steering column housing - radiator surge tank 3. If the noise is coming from the upper strut mount or sway bar link, replace as necessary and retest. 4. For 2004-2006 Chevrolet and Pontiac model year vehicles, the noise may be coming from the radiator surge tank area. (The 2007 model year vehicles use a different style radiator surge tank - refer to Step 9.) 5. If the noise is coming from the radiator surge tank, release the two retaining tabs holding the radiator surge tank and reposition the tank away from the attaching bracket and isolate with closed cell foam. 6. Cut three pieces of closed cell foam, P/N P46515 (or equivalent), into 25 mm (1 in) by 102 mm (4 in) pieces. 7.

Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005 Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued September 2008. Condition In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On Star(R) is unable to continue analog service. OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However, since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call, the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained. Special Policy Adjustment At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service will be made at no charge to the customer. This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles. Vehicles Involved Wheels - Chrome Wheel Staining/Pitting/Corrosion Wheels: All Technical Service Bulletins Wheels - Chrome Wheel Staining/Pitting/Corrosion INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 00-03-10-002F Date: April 21, 2011 Subject: Chemical Staining, Pitting, Corrosion and/or Spotted Appearance of Chromed Aluminum Wheels Models: 2012 and Prior GM Cars and Trucks Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years, suggest additional restorative products and add additional corrosion information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-03-10-002E (Section 03 - Suspension). Important You may give a copy of this bulletin to the customer. What is Chemical Staining of Chrome Wheels? Figure 1 Chemical staining in most cases results from acid based cleaners (refer to Figure 1 for an example). These stains are frequently milky, black, or greenish in appearance. They result from using cleaning solutions that contain acids on chrome wheels. Soap and water is usually sufficient to clean wheels. If the customer insists on using a wheel cleaner they should only use one that specifically states that it is safe for chromed wheels and does not contain anything in the following list. (Dealers should also survey any products they use during prep or normal cleaning of stock units for these chemicals.) - Ammonium Bifluoride (fluoride source for dissolution of chrome) - Hydrofluoric Acid (directly dissolves chrome) - Hydrochloric Acid (directly dissolves chrome) - Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonic Acid - Sulfamic Acid - Phosphoric Acid - Hydroxyacetic Acid Notice Many wheel cleaner instructions advise to take care to avoid contact with painted surfaces. Most customers think of painted surfaces as the fenders, quarter panels and other exterior sheet metal. Many vehicles have painted brake calipers. Acidic wheel cleaners may craze, crack, or discolor the paint on the brake calipers. Damage from wheel cleaners is not covered under the vehicle new car warranty. Soap and water applied with a soft brush is usually all that is required to clean the calipers. Whenever any wheel cleaner is used, it must be THOROUGHLY rinsed off of the wheel with clean, clear water. Special care must be taken to rinse under the hub cap, balance weights, wheel nuts, lug nut caps, between the wheel cladding and off the back side of the wheel. Wheels returned to the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) that exhibit damage from wheel cleaners most often have the damage around and under the wheel weight where the cleaner was incompletely flushed away.

Refer to Data Communication Schematics and Data Link Communications Description and Operation in SI. Part 2 Conditions for Running the DTC Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts. DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current. The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTC A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5 seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication. Action Taken When the DTC Sets The module uses a default value for the missing parameter. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. Diagnostic Aids When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or U1255 is set. Page 260 The control module ID number list above provides a method for determining which module is not communicating. A module with a class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during the current ignition cycle will have a Loss of Communication DTC set by other modules that depend on information from that failed module. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC indicating the module that cannot communicate. Diagnostic Order When more than one Loss of Communication DTC is set in either one module or in several modules, diagnose the DTCs in the following order: 1. Current DTCs before history DTCs unless told otherwise in the diagnostic table. 2. The DTC which is reported the most times. 3. From the lowest number DTC to the highest number DTC. Conditions for Running the DTC The following DTCs do not have a current status: ^ B1327 ^ B1328 ^ U1300 ^ U1301 ^ U1305 AND ^ The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTC A node alive message has not been received from a module with a learned identification number within the last 5 seconds. Action Taken When the DTC Sets Page 11706 The module uses a default value for the missing parameter. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. Diagnostic Aids When multiple Loss of Communication DTCs are set concurrently, the cause is likely to be 2 opens in the ring portion of the class 2 serial data circuit. Use the Control Modules and Devices ‐ Description and Identification Number table in order to determine which modules are not communicating. Use the class 2 serial data circuit schematic in order to determine the location of the opens. Test Description Page 422 For vehicles repaired under warranty use, the table.

The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear, or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have a no power/no communication condition. 2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com. 3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle. Note: If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module. 4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original analog production or digital upgrade. 5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required for a new module replacement. Do not discard. 6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. Page 2037 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Engine Controls - Intermittent No Crank/No Start PROM - Programmable Read Only Memory: Customer Interest Engine Controls - Intermittent No Crank/No Start Bulletin No.: 07-06-04-030 Date: October 24, 2007 TECHNICAL Subject: Intermittent No Crank, No Start, Starter Solenoid Clicks Engine Does Not Crank (Reprogram PCM) Models: 2004-2006 Chevrolet Malibu, Malibu Maxx with 2.2L L4 Engine (VIN F - RPO L61) Condition Some customers may comment on a intermittent no crank when the key is cycled to start. The customer may describe this concern as a single click noise when they turn the key as it the engine is trying to start. The ignition key can be cycled to off and then cycled to start and the vehicle will start. There may not be any DTC's set during this condition. Cause During the cranking process, electrical noise in the system is enough to sometimes signal the PCM that the engine is running and the starter relay is disengaged. When the key is cycled OFF it will reset the PCM that the engine is not running and will allow the vehicle to crank. Correction Before reprogramming the PCM, verify the customer concern. Follow published diagnostics in SI. If no trouble is found, reprogram the PCM. A revised engine calibration has been developed to address this issue. Reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. This new service calibration is available on TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). As always, make sure your Tech 2(R) is updated with the latest software version. Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.

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

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-02-32-013A (Section 02 - Steering). A recently completed analysis of returned power steering (PS) pumps that had been replaced for noise, no power assist, no or low pressure and leaking conditions has indicated a high number of "No Trouble Found" results. Corporate Bulletin Number 01-02-32-004 indicates that when attempting to repair a power steering concern, the steering system analyzer should be utilized to assist the technician in a successful diagnosis. Note- Saturn ASTRA does not utilize the Power Steering System Analyzer. In addition, extensive warranty analysis has shown that the following situations are all significant root causes of PS pump failures: - Improper pulley installation - Re-using the O-rings - Using fluid other than the OE-specified steering fluid - Failure to flush the PS system In order to help improve customer satisfaction and reduce comebacks, GM recommends the following tips for replacing a PS pump: 1. Low or no pressure from the PS pump may be the results of dirty or contaminated fluid, which could cause the pressure relief valve to stop functioning. Using the proper tools, flush and bleed the PS system. Any residual contaminants will result in pump failure. 2. When removing the pulley, use the proper special tools. Because the pulley alignment is critical, distorting the pulley may damage bearings on the new PS pump. Note Some new PS pumps may not include a new O-ring. Please refer to the appropriate Parts Catalog. Saturn retailers should refer to the appropriate model year Parts & Illustration Catalog for the vehicle. 3. Be sure to use only the new O-rings included with the PS pump. The new reservoir O-ring must be lubricated with OE-specific PS fluid prior to installation. Also make sure that the control valve O-ring is in its exact groove position and is NOT covering the pressure bypass hole. 4. Bleed the PS system according to the procedures/recommendations in SI. Following these procedures and using the correct tools and fluids should help ensure that the new PS pump operates properly. Skipping steps may cost you time and trouble later.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 6771 Page 12339 OnStar(R) Microphone The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit. In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the microphone. Cellular and GPS Antennas The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas: ^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas. ^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a single part. ^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM). The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna. The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10 minutes to register in the event of a loss of power. Audio System Interface When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle receives a call with the radio ON. On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return to its previous setting. OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it. By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands. The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network. The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body control module (BCM). OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle) The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended. A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2 and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by accessing www.onstarenrollment.com All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After 48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF, Page 11828 9. Erase the diagnostic trouble codes. 10. Set the date and time, see WIS - 3.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-03-10-006E (Section 03 - Suspension). Important - Before measuring tires on equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700, the vehicle MUST be driven a minimum of 16 km (10 mi) to ensure removal of any flat-spotting. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E - Tire/Wheel Characteristics of GM Original Equipment Tires. - Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 MUST be calibrated prior to measuring tire/wheel assemblies for each vehicle. The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance to GM dealers when using tire force variation measurement equipment, such as the Hunter GSP9700. This type of equipment can be a valuable tool in diagnosing vehicle ride concerns. The most common ride concern involving tire radial force variation is highway speed shake on smooth roads. Tire related smooth road highway speed shake can be caused by three conditions: imbalance, out of round and tire force variation. These three conditions are not necessarily related. All three conditions must be addressed. Imbalance is normally addressed first, because it is the simpler of the three to correct. Off-vehicle, two plane dynamic wheel balancers are readily available and can accurately correct any imbalance. Balancer calibration and maintenance, proper attachment of the wheel to the balancer, and proper balance weights, are all factors required for a quality balance. However, a perfectly balanced tire/wheel assembly can still be "oval shaped" and cause a vibration. Before balancing, perform the following procedures. Tire and Wheel Diagnosis 1. Set the tire pressure to the placard values. 2. With the vehicle raised, ensure the wheels are centered on the hub by loosening all wheel nuts and hand-tightening all nuts first by hand while shaking the wheel, then torque to specifications using a torque wrench, NOT a torque stick. 3. Visually inspect the tires and the wheels. Inspect for evidence of the following conditions and correct as necessary: - Missing balance weights - Bent rim flange - Irregular tire wear - Incomplete bead seating - Tire irregularities (including pressure settings) - Mud/ice build-up in wheel - Stones in the tire tread - Remove any aftermarket wheels and/or tires and restore vehicle to original condition prior to diagnosing a smooth road shake condition. 4. Road test the vehicle using the Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA) essential tool. Drive for a sufficient distance on a known, smooth road surface to duplicate the condition. Determine if the vehicle is sensitive to brake apply. If the brakes are applied lightly and the pulsation felt in the steering wheel increases, refer to the Brakes section of the service manual that deals with brake-induced pulsation. If you can start to hear the vibration as a low boom noise (in addition to feeling it), but cannot see it, the vehicle likely has a first order (one pulse per propshaft revolution) driveline vibration. Driveline first order vibrations are high enough in frequency that most humans can start to hear them at highway speeds, but are too high to be able to be easily seen. These issues can be caused by driveline imbalance or misalignment. If the vehicle exhibits this low boom and the booming pulses in-and-out on a regular basis (like a throbbing), chances are good that the vehicle could have driveline vibration. This type Page 1505 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 2517 Spark Plug: Application and ID Spark Plug Type ..........................................................................................................................................

Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 1612 Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is a permanent magnet generator, known as a variable reluctance sensor. The CKP sensor produces an AC voltage of different amplitude and frequency. The frequency depends on the velocity of the crankshaft. The AC voltage output depends on the crankshaft position and the battery voltage. The CKP sensor works in conjunction with a 7X reluctor wheel attached to the crankshaft. The CKP sensor produces 7 pulses for each revolution of the crankshaft. The pulse from the 10-degree notch is known as the sync pulse. The sync pulse is used to synchronize the coil firing sequence with the crankshaft position. The CKP sensor is used for ignition timing, the fuel injector timing, misfire diagnostics and tachometer display. The CKP sensor is connected to the ECM by a signal circuit and a low reference circuit. Page 9110 Auxiliary Power Outlet: Connector Views Auxiliary Power Outlet - Console (With RPO Code NW7,NW9) Specifications Connecting Rod: Specifications Connecting Rod Bolt Torque ^ First Pass .......................................................................................................................................... ............................................... 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) ^ Final Pass ......................................................................................................................................... ......................................................... 100 degrees Connecting Rod Connecting Rod Bearing Clearance ...................................................................................................................... 0.029-0.069 mm (0.0011-0.0027 inch) Connecting Rod Bore Diameter - Bearing End ............................................................................................... 52.118-52.134 mm (2.0519-2.05252 inch) Connecting Rod Bore Diameter - Pin End ........................................................................................................ 20.007-20.021 mm (0.7877-0.7882 inch) Connecting Rod Side Clearance ............................................................................................................................ 0.070-0.370 mm (0.0028-0.0146 inch) Connecting Rod Straightness - Bend - Maximum ........................................................................................................................ 0.021 mm (0.0083 inch) Connecting Rod Straightness - Twist - Maximum ......................................................................................................................... 0.04 mm (0.0157 inch) Crankshaft Connecting Rod Journal Diameter .................................................................................................................... 49.000-49.014 mm (1.9291-1.9297 inch) Page 9232 C214 Body Harness to Console Harness(With RPO Code UK6,U32) Part 1 Page 12386 Models The service procedure in this bulletin has been revised. Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005 Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued September 2008. Condition In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On Star(R) is unable to continue analog service. OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However, since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call, the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained. Special Policy Adjustment At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service will be made at no charge to the customer. This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles. Vehicles Involved Page 1050 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 OnStar(R) - Number Incorrect/Incorrectly Assigned Emergency Contact Module: Customer Interest OnStar(R) - Number Incorrect/Incorrectly Assigned INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 05-08-46-004C Date: December 23, 2010 Subject: OnStar(R) Phone Number Concerns (Phone Number Incorrect/Assigned to Another Vehicle/Phone) That Occur During Diagnosis of OnStar(R) System Models: 2000-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks Equipped with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years up to 2011. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-004B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). During diagnosis of an OnStar(R) concern, the technician may be told that the OnStar(R) phone number is incorrect or tied to another vehicle and/or phone of some kind. To resolve these concerns, the Tech 2(R) with software version 22.005 (or higher), has the capability to change the OnStar(R) phone number. Service Procedure 1. With the Tech 2(R), build the vehicle to specifications within the Diagnostics area of the Tech 2(R). 2. For vehicles with physical-based diagnostics - under Body, go to the OnStar(R) section.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 6138 Crankshaft Position Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 6132 Page 2130 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 8889 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. Tyco/AMP Connectors (CM 42-Way) TYCO/AMP CONNECTORS (CM 42-WAY) TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1. Locate the connector position assurance (CPA) on the connector body and pull the CPA out. The CPA is on the wire harness side of connector. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 1966 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 3737 17. Install the upper radiator support brackets. 18. Important: Do not allow the upper bracket to twist when tightening the screw or vibration may result. Install the upper radiator support bracket bolts. ^ Tighten the bolts to 10 Nm (7 ft. lbs.). 19. Clip the upper transmission oil cooler pipe to the shroud. 20. Install the right headlamp. 21. Install the left headlamp. Page 4220 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Micro .64 Connectors MICRO.64 CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro 64 connectors. 1. Locate the lever lock on the wire dress cover. While depressing the lock, pull the lever over and past the lock. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component. 3. Locate the dress cover locking tabs at the front of the connector. Using a small flat-blade tool push down on one of the locking tabs and pull the cover up until the dress cover releases. Repeat this procedure for the other locking tab. 4. Once the front 2 locks are unlocked, lift the front of the dress cover and pull it forward. Page 6414 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 2658 All 2006 and future model transmissions that use DEXRON(R)-VI are to be serviced ONLY with DEXRON(R)-VI fluid. DEXRON(R)-VI is an improvement over DEXRON(R)-III in the following areas: * These ATF change intervals remain the same as DEXRON(R)-III for the time being. 2006-2008 Transmission Fill and Cooler Flushing Some new applications of the 6L80 six speed transmission will require the use of the J 45096 Flushing and Flow Tester to accomplish transmission fluid fill. The clean oil reservoir of the machine should be purged of DEXRON(R)-III and filled with DEXRON(R)-VI.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 2542 3. This test is to verify that the drive belt is causing the rumbling noise. Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the similarity in the description. Remove only one drive belt at a time if the vehicle has multiple drive belts. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed. 4. Inspecting the drive belt is to ensure that it is not causing a the noise. Small cracks across the ribs of the drive belt will not cause the noise. Belt separation is identified by the plys of the belt separating and may be seen at the edge of the belt our felt as a lump in the belt. 5. Small amounts of pilling is normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe the drive belt does not have a smooth surface for proper operation. Engine - Wobble/Vibration On Acceleration Engine Mount: Technical Service Bulletins Engine - Wobble/Vibration On Acceleration Bulletin No.: 06-06-01-025 Date: November 17, 2006 TECHNICAL Subject: L61 Engine Front End Wobble or Vibration On Acceleration (Refer to SI Procedure for Powertrain Mount Balance - Lower Mount) Models: 2004-2007 Chevrolet Malibu (Sedan) with Ecotec(TM) 2.2L I-4 Engine (VIN F - RPO L61) Condition Some customers may comment on a wobble (side to side motion) on moderate acceleration from a stop (up to about 48 km/h (30 mph).

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 100 2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece. The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such. 3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover removal procedures may vary. 6. Use fingers to squeeze the 2 locking legs of the cover. Page 6638 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 6848 Step 15 Page 10800 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 10752 37. Cut two 6.1 m (20 ft) deployment wires from a 0.8 mm (18 gage) or thicker multi-strand wire. These wires will be used to fabricate the roof rail module deployment harness. 38.

Twist together one connector wire lead to one deployment wire. 41. Bend flat the twisted connection. 42. Secure and insulate the connection using electrical tape. 43. Twist together, bend, and tape the remaining connector wire lead to the remaining deployment wire. 44. Connect the deployment harness to the roof rail module. Page 7194 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

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

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 9240 C404 Liftgate Harness to Body Harness (Extended Sedan) C405 Liftgate Harness to Body Harness (Extended Sedan) (With RPO Code C25) Page 5225 1.

Camshaft Cover Page 5084 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 3550 Coolant: Fluid Type Specifications ENGINE COOLANT The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with DEX-COOL engine coolant. This coolant is designed to remain in your vehicle for 5 years or 150,000 miles (240 000 km), whichever occurs first, if you add only DEX-COOL extended life coolant. A 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL coolant will: ^ Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C). ^ Give boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C). ^ Protect against rust and corrosion. ^ Help keep the proper engine temperature. ^ Let the warning lights and gages work as they should. NOTICE: Using coolant other than DEX-COOL may cause premature engine, heater core or radiator corrosion. In addition, the engine coolant may require changing sooner, at 30,000 miles (50 000 km) or 24 months, whichever occurs first. Any repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Always use DEX-COOL (silicate-free) coolant in your vehicle. WHAT TO USE Use a mixture of one-half clean, drinkable water and one-half DEX-COOL coolant which won't damage aluminum parts. If you use this coolant mixture, you don't need to add anything else. CAUTION: Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be dangerous. Plain water, or some other liquid such as alcohol, can boil before the proper coolant mixture will. Your vehicle's coolant warning system is set for the proper coolant mixture. With plain water or the wrong mixture, your engine could get too hot but you would not get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire and you or others could be burned. Use a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL coolant. NOTICE: If you use an improper coolant mixture, your engine could overheat and be badly damaged. The repair cost would not be covered by your warranty. Too much water in the mixture can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts. If you have to add coolant more than four times a year, check your cooling system. NOTICE: If you use the proper coolant, you do not have to add extra inhibitors or additives which claim to improve the system. These can be harmful. Page 928 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Micro .64 Connectors MICRO.64 CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro 64 connectors. 1. Locate the lever lock on the wire dress cover. While depressing the lock, pull the lever over and past the lock. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component. 3. Locate the dress cover locking tabs at the front of the connector. Using a small flat-blade tool push down on one of the locking tabs and pull the cover up until the dress cover releases. Repeat this procedure for the other locking tab. 4. Once the front 2 locks are unlocked, lift the front of the dress cover and pull it forward. Page 7506 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 119 Conversion - English/Metric Part 1 Page 6994 1.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 10028 2.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 13631 Rear Door Interior Handle: Service and Repair Door Locking Rod/Bellcrank Replacement - Rear Door Locking Rod/Bellcrank Replacement - Rear Removal Procedure 1.

Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker: This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is removed. Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker: This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2. Circuit Protection - Fuses CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES Page 5450 4.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 1057 Page 12623 4.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 5745 Page 1578 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. OnStar(R) - Analog/Digital System Information Emergency Contact Module: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Analog/Digital System Information INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 06-08-46-008C Date: September 18, 2008 Subject: Information on OnStar(R) Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital) Systems Models Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to correct the model year range for the Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo and update the reference to GM Dealerworld.

NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Specifications Exhaust Manifold: Specifications Exhaust Manifold to Cylinder Head Nut ............................................................................................................................................. 14 Nm (124 inch lbs.)

Exposure may irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Work in a well ventilated area. In order to remove R-134a from the A/C system, use service equipment that is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J 2210 (R-134a recycling equipment). If an accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before continuing service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers. - For personal protection, goggles and gloves should be worn and a clean cloth wrapped around fittings, valves, and connections when doing work that includes opening the refrigerant system. If R-134a comes in contact with any part of the body severe frostbite and personal injury can result. The exposed area should be flushed immediately with cold water and prompt medical help should be obtained. NOTE: R-134a is the only approved refrigerant for use in this vehicle. The use of any other refrigerant may result in poor system performance or component failure. - To avoid system damage use only R-134a dedicated tools when servicing the A/C system. - Use only Polyalkylene Glycol Synthetic Refrigerant Oil (PAG) for internal circulation through the R-134a A/C system and only 525 viscosity mineral oil on fitting threads and O-rings. If lubricants other than those specified are used, compressor failure and/or fitting seizure may result. - R-12 refrigerant and R-134a refrigerant must never be mixed, even in the smallest of amounts, as they are incompatible with each other. If the refrigerants are mixed, compressor failure is likely to occur. Refer to the manufacturer instructions included with the service equipment before servicing. The J 43600 is a complete air conditioning service center for R-134a. The ACR 2000 recovers, recycles, evacuates and recharges A/C refrigerant quickly, accurately and automatically. The unit has a display screen that contains the function controls and displays prompts that will lead the technician through the recover, recycle, evacuate and recharge operations. R-134a is recovered into and charged out of an internal storage vessel. The ACR 2000 automatically replenishes this vessel from an external source tank in order to maintain a constant 5.45-6.82 kg (12-15 lbs) of A/C refrigerant. The ACR 2000 has a built in A/C refrigerant identifier that will test for contamination, prior to recovery and will notify the technician if there are foreign gases present in the A/C system. If foreign gases are present, the ACR 2000 will not recover the refrigerant from the A/C system. The ACR 2000 also features automatic air purge, single pass recycling and an automatic oil drain. Refer to the J 43600 ACR 2000 manual for operation and setup instruction. Always recharge the A/C System with the proper amount of R-134a. Refer to Refrigerant System Capacities for the correct amount. OnStar(R) - Incorrect GPS Position Reported During Call Emergency Contact Module: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Incorrect GPS Position Reported During Call Bulletin No.: 02-08-46-006C Date: January 08, 2008 INFORMATION Subject: Incorrect OnStar(R) Global Positioning System (GPS) Location Reported During OnStar(R) Call Models: 2000-2008 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2008 HUMMER H2 2006-2008 HUMMER H3 2005-2008 Saab 9-7X with OnStar(R) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-006B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R) will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected. It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure. In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R) module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery. The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes. After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position. If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge. Warranty Information (excluding Saab US Models) For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.

The BCM monitors the ignition switch position, battery condition and passenger compartment doors status to determine whether RAP should be initiated. The modules then support the operation of the systems under their control as required by their RAP power mode operation. RAP will end when one of the following conditions is met: The BCM receives an input indicating the opening of any compartment door. - The BCM internal timer for the RAP expires after approximately 10 minutes. - The BCM detects a decrease in battery capacity below a prescribed limit. - The Radio uses an exclusive RAP message that can not be circumvented by any door but the drives door. The BCM then sends a serial data power mode message ending the RAP function. The radio is the only module that is controlled by the serial data circuits. RELAY CONTROL OF RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER (RAP) The body control module (BCM) keeps the accessory relay energized during all power modes, except Off-Awake and Crank. The devices powered by the accessory relay during the retained accessory power (RAP) power mode are the sunroof and windows. Page 7301 Page 94 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

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.

The SIR system has been divided into Disabling and Enabling Zones. When performing service on or near SIR components or SIR wiring, it may be necessary to disable the SIR components in that zone. It may be necessary to disable more than one zone depending on the location of other SIR components and the area being serviced, refer to SIR Zone Identification Views. Refer to the illustration, to identify the specific zone or zones in which service will be performed. After identifying the zone or zones, proceed to the disabling and enabling procedures for that particular zone or zones. SIR Disabling and Enabling Zone 1 SIR DISABLING AND ENABLING ZONE 1 DISABLING PROCEDURE 1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2.

This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 825 Page 6014 Page 13902 Rear Compartment/Liftgate Release Switch - Interior Page 6240 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 9567 - HVAC Actuator - Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) - Any AIR BAG module - Seatbelt Lap Anchor Pretensioner - Seatbelt Retractor Pretensioner - An SIR system connection or connector condition resulting in the following DTCs being set: B0015, B0016, B0019, B0020, B0022, or B0023 - Powertrain Control Module (PCM) - 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). Repair Order Documentation Page 12878 Disclaimer Page 3977 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 2731 2. Connect both front end sensors connector to the front end sensor (1). 3. Connect both CPA's to each front end sensor connector. 4. Install the AIR BAG (IGN) and AIR BAG (BATT) fuses into the BCM fuse center (1). 5. Use caution while reaching in and turn the ignition switch to the ON position. The AIR BAG indicator will flash then turn OFF. 6. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle if the AIR BAG warning indicator does not operate as described. Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information. SIR Disabling and Enabling Zone 2 SIR DISABLING AND ENABLING ZONE 2 DISABLING PROCEDURE 1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 3. Remove the key from the ignition switch. 4. Locate the body control module (BCM) fuse center then remove fuse center cover. Page 1039 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes.

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. Disclaimer Page 12281 Parts Information Page 10846 1.

Other symptoms may include extended pedal travel required to shift out of PARK, cruise control does not function correctly, and DTC C0131, C0161 and/or C0277 may be set. Cause The most likely cause of this condition is high resistance due to terminal fretting corrosion in the body control module (BCM) C2 or X2 connector (specifically pins 18, 31 and 59). Correction DO NOT replace the BCM for this condition. Disconnecting the C2 or X2 connector, adding dielectric lubricant and reconnecting the connector per the procedure below will correct the high resistance condition due to terminal fretting corrosion. 1. Remove the right side front floor console side trim panel to access to the Body Control Module (BCM). 2. Locate the C2 or X2 connector on the BCM. 3. Unlatch the connector and disconnect the connector from the BCM. 4. Apply dielectric lubricant (clear gel), GM P/N 12377900 (in Canada, use P/N 10953529) or equivalent, on all the connector pins (apply with a one-inch nylon bristle brush). This will treat the pins against fretting corrosion. 5. Reconnect the connector back on the BCM and re-latch. Wipe away any excess lubricant. 6. Reinstall the right side front floor console side trim panel. 7. Using the Tech 2(R), check that the BPPS ratio is equal to BPPS learned home when the brake pedal is not depressed. - If they are equal, the brake lamps should be operating correctly and no further steps are necessary. - If they are not equal, perform the Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration procedure in SI to complete the repair. 8.

An incorrect spark plug causes driveability conditions. Refer to Ignition System Specifications for the correct spark plug. - Ensure that the spark plug has the correct heat range. An incorrect heat range causes the following conditions: Spark plug fouling - colder plug - Pre-ignition causing spark plug and/or engine damage - hotter plug SPARK PLUG INSPECTION - Inspect the terminal post (1) for damage. Inspect for a bent or broken terminal post (1). - Test for a loose terminal post (1) by twisting and pulling the post. The terminal post (1) should NOT move. - Inspect the insulator (2) for flashover or carbon tracking, 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. - Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack instead of the electrodes (3, 4). Page 6899 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 3031 Wheel Fastener: Specifications Wheel Nuts .......................................................................................................................................... ................................................. 140 Nm (100 ft. lbs.) Page 6824 Page 3967 Page 1405 Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation FUEL SENDER ASSEMBLY The fuel sender assembly consists of the following major components: The fill limit vent valve (1) - The fuel filter - The fuel level sensor (5) - The fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor (2) - The fuel pump (4) - The fuel strainer - The fuel pressure regulator (6) OnStar(R) - Analog/Digital Ready System Digital Upgrade Technical Service Bulletin # 05-08-46-006Q Date: 081028 OnStar(R) - Analog/Digital Ready System Digital Upgrade INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 05-08-46-006Q Date: October 28, 2008 Subject: Information on Upgrading Certain OnStar(R) Analog/Digital-Ready Systems to OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable System Models Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the upgrade kit installation information for the 2001 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo.

Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker: This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is removed. Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker: This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2. Circuit Protection - Fuses CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES Page 10757 74.

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 4139 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 13524 Front Door Bolt Replacement Procedure 1.

This is based on engine revolutions and engine temperature, and not on mileage. Based on driving conditions, the mileage at which an oil change will be indicated can vary considerably. For the oil life system to work properly, you must reset the system every time the oil is changed. When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it will indicate that an oil change is necessary. A "Change Oil Soon" message will come on. Change your oil as soon as possible within the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible that, if you are driving under the best conditions, the oil life system may not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over a year. However, your engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year and at this time the system must be reset. It is also important to check your oil regularly and keep it at the proper level. If the system is ever reset accidentally, you must change your oil at 3,000 miles (5 000 km) since your last oil change. Remember to reset the oil life system whenever the oil is changed. Page 11996 Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Powertrain Control Module (PCM) POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) DESCRIPTION POWERTRAIN The powertrain has electronic controls to reduce exhaust emissions while maintaining excellent driveability and fuel economy. The powertrain control module (PCM) is the control center of this system. The PCM monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions. The PCM constantly looks at the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls the systems that affect vehicle performance and emissions. The PCM also performs the diagnostic tests on various parts of the system. The PCM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver via the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). When the PCM detects a malfunction, the PCM stores a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. Review the components and wiring diagrams in order to determine which systems are controlled by the PCM. The following are some of the functions that the PCM controls: The engine fueling - The ignition control (IC) - The knock sensor (KS) system - The evaporative emissions (EVAP) system - The secondary air injection (AIR) system (if equipped) - The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system - The automatic transmission functions - The generator - The A/C clutch control - The cooling fan control POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE FUNCTION The powertrain control module (PCM) constantly looks at the information from various sensors and other inputs and controls systems that affect vehicle performance and emissions. The PCM also performs diagnostic tests on various parts of the system. The PCM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver via the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). When the PCM detects a malfunction, the PCM stores a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. The input and output devices in the PCM include analog-to-digital converters, signal buffers, counters, and output drivers. The output drivers are electronic switches that complete a ground or voltage circuit when turned on. Most PCM controlled components are operated via output drivers. The PCM monitors these driver circuits for proper operation and, in most cases, can set a DTC corresponding to the controlled device if a problem is detected. MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) OPERATION The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located in the instrument panel cluster. The MIL will display as either SERVICE ENGINE SOON or one of the following symbols when commanded ON: The MIL indicates that an emissions related fault has occurred and vehicle service is required. The following is a list of the modes of operation for the MIL: The MIL illuminates when the ignition is turned ON, with the engine OFF. This is a bulb test to ensure the MIL is able to illuminate. - The MIL turns OFF after the engine is started if a diagnostic fault is not present. Page 5817 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-49-016A (Section 08 - Body & Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment that the backlighting on the IPC does not illuminate in the daylight hours with headlamps manually turned on. They may further state that the backlighting does function at night, but not in the day time. Cause On these vehicles, backlighting for the IPC is not enabled unless the vehicle's lighting photocell determines that there is a nighttime ambient condition. Backlighting is not controlled through the use of the park lamp or headlamp switch. The conditions under which the photocell activates the backlighting may not satisfy each particular customer's personal expectations, or the customer may simply prefer to have the backlighting always illuminated on the IPC when headlamps are manually turned on. Correction Module reprogramming must be done using the Pass-Thru method. Select "Instrument Panel (Backlight Dimming Fix ONLY)" from the Supported Controllers list. For customers who wish to have the IPC backlighting illuminated, a new service calibration is now available that will activate the backlighting to full intensity during daytime hours with headlamps manually turned on. Reprogram the BCM using SPS. The new calibrations are currently available on TIS2WEB. Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Page 8615 9.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 1156 Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation INFLATABLE RESTRAINT SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM) The sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) is a microprocessor and the control center for the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System. This SDM has two fused power inputs; one fuse is for the battery voltage and the other fuse is for the ignition voltage. The SDM uses vehicle battery voltage as its main power input. The SDM then uses the vehicles GMLAN Serial Data Communication line and the ignition voltage logic input for enabling or disabling the SIR deployment loops. The SDM contains internal sensors along with several external sensors, if equipped, mounted at strategic locations on the vehicle. In the event of a collision, the SDM compares the signals from the internal and external sensors to a value stored in memory. When the generated signals exceed the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the appropriate deployment loops to deploy the air bags or seat belt pretensioners. If the force of the impact is not sufficient to warrant inflator module deployment, the SDM may still deploy the seat belt pretensioners. The SDM records the SIR system status when a deployment occurs and turns the AIR BAG indicator located in the IPC ON. As soon as three distinct deployment commands (representing different events) have been issued to any belt pretensioner, or the SDM commands any front and side air bag to deploy once, the SDM shall be considered to not be reusable. The SDM performs continuous diagnostic monitoring of the SIR system electrical components and circuitry when the ignition is turned ON. If the SDM detects a malfunction, a DTC will be stored and the SDM will command the AIR BAG indicator ON, notifying the driver that a malfunction exist. In the event that ignition positive voltage is lost during a collision, the SDM maintains a 23-volt loop reserve (23 VLR) for deployment of the air bags. It is important when disabling the SIR system for servicing or rescue operations to allow the 23 VLR to dissipate, which could take up to 1 minute. Page 10445 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Page 5691 Page 11700 ^ Audio amplifier ^ Driver door module (DDM) ^ Driver door switch assembly (DDSA) ^ Front passenger door module (FPDM) ^ Left rear door module (LRDM) ^ Memory seat module (MSM) ^ Radio antenna module (listed as remote function actuation in scan tool display) ^ Rear integration module (RIM) ^ Right rear door module (RRDM) ^ Theft deterrent module (TDM) ^ TV antenna module ^ Vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) The star has 4 splice packs: ^ SP200 located in the left side of the instrument panel, near the steering column , taped to the instrument panel harness ^ SP201 located in the center of the instrument panel, near the radio ^ SP300 located in the left side middle of the passenger compartment, taped to the body harness, near the carpet seam ^ SP303 located in the right rear of the passenger compartment, taped to the body harness, approximately 24 cm (9.5 in) from the fuse block - right rear.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 4006 Conversion - English/Metric Part 2 Diagnostic Work Sheets DIAGNOSTIC WORK SHEETS The GM Diagnostic Worksheet has been designed to improve communications between the service customer and the technician.

Gently pull the cable and the terminal (2) out of the back of the connector. 5. Re-form the locking device if you are going to reuse the terminal (1). 6. To repair the terminal, refer to Terminal Repair. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. Slip the cable seal away from the terminal. 2. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 3. Slip a new cable seal onto the wire. 4. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 5. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 6. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. 7. Slide the cable seal toward the terminal. 8. Crimp the cable seal and the insulation. 9. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply grease to the connector. REINSTALLING TERMINAL 1. In order to reuse a terminal or lead assembly. Refer to Wiring Repairs . 2. Ensure that the cable seal is kept on the terminal side of the splice. 3. Insert the lead from the back until it catches. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Pull to Seat Connectors PULL TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should be replaced. Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors: 1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into the front of the connector body. 5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal (1) out the front of the connector body (3). Page 1580 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 5865 Page 6391 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Specifications Compression Check: Specifications ^ The lowest reading cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest. ^ No cylinder reading should be less than 689 kPa (100 psi). Page 11865 DVD Player C2 (With RPO Code U32) Page 4329 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 8842 Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Service and Repair Key and Lock Cylinder Coding KEY AND LOCK CYLINDER CODING KEY IDENTIFICATION AND USAGE The keys are double sided and reversible. The master key and valet key contain transponders that are read by the theft deterrent system when the keys are used in the ignition. The keys have 10 cut positions (1) with 5 different depths (2). The keys that are furnished with the vehicle are: The master key, which contains a transponder (3). This key will operate all of the locks on the vehicle. - The valet key, which contains a transponder (3). This key will operate the front door locks and the ignition lock only. - The emergency key, which does not contain a transponder. This key will operate the door locks, rear compartment lock and the I/P storage compartment lock only. This key is intended for emergency use only. CUTTING KEYS The key code can be obtained from the 5-digit number on the key tag that accompanies the original master and valet keys. The 5-digit key code cross references to the cut and tumbler sequence. The keys have 10 key cut positions (1) and 5 key cut depths (2). Key cut positions are numbered 1-10, counting from the head of the key to the tip. The key cut depths are 1-5, cut depth number 1 is the deepest cut. The key transponder (3) in the master and valet key must be programmed to the vehicle. Refer to Programming Theft Deterrent System Components in Theft Deterrent. 1. Cut a blank key to the proper depth and sequence of each of the tumbler positions. 2.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 8402 Page 4714 Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 4579 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Trim Height Inspection Procedure Alignment: Service and Repair Trim Height Inspection Procedure The content of this article reflects the changes identified in TSB Bulletin No.: 06-03-06-004 Date: May 17, 2006 SERVICE MANUAL UPDATE Subject: Revised Trim Height Inspection Procedure and Trim Height Specifications Models: 2004-2005 Chevrolet Malibu 2005 Pontiac G6 Trim Height Inspection Procedure 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 Label - Vehicle Certification, Tire Place Card, Anti-Theft and Service Parts ID in General Information. ^ Check the fuel level. Add additional weight if necessary to simulate a full tank. ^ Make sure the passenger and rear compartments are empty, except for 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 lids are securely closed. ^ Check for installed after market accessories or modifications that could affect trim height measurement. Important: All dimensions are measured vertical to the ground. Trim height should be within +/- 10 mm (+/-0.39) to be considered correct. Use the following procedure to check the J and K dimensions: 1. Measuring the J dimension for the left and right side of the vehicle inboard of the pinch-weld flange at 544 mm (21.4 in) from the centerline of the front wheel. Page 12800 Page 5069 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 9518 C403 Body Harness to Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Harness (With RPO Code JL9) C404 Liftgate Harness to Body Harness (Extended Sedan) Body Controls - BCM Cross Platform Functionality Body Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Body Controls - BCM Cross Platform Functionality INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 09-08-47-002 Date: November 17, 2009 Subject: Information on Body Control Module (BCM) Functionality Across Vehicle Lines Models: 2004-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt 2006-2010 Chevrolet HHR 2005-2009 Pontiac G6 2006-2009 Pontiac Solstice 2007-2009 Saturn AURA, SKY The purpose of this bulletin is to address the unique differences in Body Control Module (BCM) functionality of the affected vehicles. Many electrical functions on these vehicles do not directly involve the BCM, even though they may on other vehicles. The cooling fans, for example, are controlled by the engine control module (ECM) on the Malibu, but are controlled by the BCM on the Impala. The BCM is primarily a gateway between the high- and low-speed GMLAN serial data buses on the above listed vehicles. Functions That Do Not Involve the BCM The following list of features and functions are not controlled or dependent on the BCM: Important The BCM should NOT be replaced for conditions in these areas. - Cooling fans - Clock display - Radio display - Power mirrors - OnStar(R) - Rear wiper (on Malibu Maxx) - Warning lamps - Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) - Driver seat belt reminder light and chime - Power windows Important The BCM also acts as a power distribution center and may provide a fused battery feed to the modules that actually do control the above functions. Do not assume a similar control module issue will apply to different vehicle lines. Refer to SI for the appropriate description and operation and diagnostic information.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Installation Procedure Page 1525 Page 4475 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Heated Seat Control Module - Driver Seat Heater Control Module: Diagrams Heated Seat Control Module - Driver Heated Seat Control Module - Driver, C1 (With RPO Code KA1) Page 3818 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 7203 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Campaign - Power Steering Assist Loss of Power Technical Service Bulletin # 10183 Date: 100720 Campaign - Power Steering Assist Loss of Power SPECIAL COVERAGE Bulletin No.: 10183 Date: July 20, 2010 Subject: 10183 - Special Coverage Adjustment - Power Steering Assist Models: 2005-2006 Chevrolet Malibu, Malibu Maxx 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, Malibu Maxx 2005-2006 Pontiac G6 2008 Pontiac G6 2008 Saturn AURA Condition Some customers of 2005-2006 model year Chevrolet Malibu, Malibu Maxx; Pontiac G6 vehicles, and 2008 model year Chevrolet Malibu, Malibu Maxx; Pontiac G6; and Saturn AURA vehicles equipped with electric power steering may experience a loss of power steering assist caused by electrical input signals within the steering column assembly.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 1986 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 5429 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Micro .64 Connectors MICRO.64 CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro 64 connectors. 1. Locate the lever lock on the wire dress cover. While depressing the lock, pull the lever over and past the lock. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component. 3. Locate the dress cover locking tabs at the front of the connector. Using a small flat-blade tool push down on one of the locking tabs and pull the cover up until the dress cover releases. Repeat this procedure for the other locking tab. 4. Once the front 2 locks are unlocked, lift the front of the dress cover and pull it forward. Page 1731 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Locations Right Front of the Engine Compartment Page 4875 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 6897 3.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in: Service Engine Soon (SES) light on Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s) Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur. When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the concern. The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty. If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs. Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not considered to be warrantable repair items. Page 8008 Notice: Use petroleum jelly when lubricating the components.

Note During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike caused by the following: ^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system. ^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload. OnStar(R) System States of Readiness The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF. ^ High power ^ Low power ^ Sleep ^ Digital standby The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or when the system is performing a remote function. The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or RUN position, or with RAP enabled. The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions. If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby) based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again received. If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the following: ^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate ^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason. ^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded. Page 3122 13.

If damaged, replace the timing chain tensioner. 18. Measure the timing chain tensioner assembly from end to end.A new tensioner should be supplied in the fully compressed non-active state. A tensioner in the compressed state will measure 72 mm (2.83 inch) (a) from end to end. A tensioner in the active state will measure 85 mm (3.35 inch) (a) from end to end. Page 12640 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 1845 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 4869 2.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Tires/Wheels - Low Tire/Leaking Cast Aluminum Wheels Wheels: Customer Interest Tires/Wheels - Low Tire/Leaking Cast Aluminum Wheels TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 05-03-10-003F Date: April 27, 2010 Subject: Low Tire Pressure, Leaking Cast Aluminum Wheels (Repair with Adhesive Sealant) Models: 2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X with Cast Aluminum Wheels Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years and the bulletin reference information.

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 Page 9177 4.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire.

This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 9377 11.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 OnStar(R) - Cellular Antenna Replacement Parts Global Positioning System Antenna: Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Cellular Antenna Replacement Parts Bulletin No.: 00-08-46-002A Date: April 12, 2005 INFORMATION Subject: OnStar(R) System Cellular Antenna Replacement Parts Availability Models: 1996-2005 Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2003-2005 HUMMER H2 with OnStar(R) and Glass Mounted Antennas Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years, models and parts information.

Note During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike caused by the following: ^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system. ^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload. OnStar(R) System States of Readiness The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF. ^ High power ^ Low power ^ Sleep ^ Digital standby The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or when the system is performing a remote function. The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or RUN position, or with RAP enabled. The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions. If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby) based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again received. If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the following: ^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate ^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason. ^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded. Page 5276 Engine Coolant Temperature (ETC) Sensor Page 8923 Fascia Grille Replacement Front Bumper Cover / Fascia: Service and Repair Fascia Grille Replacement Fascia Grille Replacement Removal Procedure 1.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 3629 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Page 4779 Page 4602 Page 9400 Page 1922 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 1 Page 11431 Page 8832 Page 10066 8.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 8068 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 34 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown. Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture.

For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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 Page 4223 3. Use a small flat-bladed tool to gently pry off the dress cover by inserting the tool under the cover opposite the harness side and prying up. 4. Remove the cover. 5. Using a small flat-bladed tool, push on the side of the nose piece retainer while pushing the nose piece forward with your thumb. This will release the terminal position assurance (TPA). 6. Insert the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) into the corresponding terminal release cavity. The release cavities are the 2 center rows of cavities on one half of the connector. Page 4311 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 14019 REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 183 Page 11428 Assistance for all GM fleet customers using GM STC products and services is provided on the Internet via www.gmcommontraining.com using the "Contact Us" button on the site and/or the GM Common Training Help Desk at 1-888-748-2687.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Fuel System - TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline (Canada) Fuel: Technical Service Bulletins Fuel System - TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline (Canada) INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 05-06-04-022G Date: October 27, 2010 Subject: TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline Information and Available Brands (Deposits, Fuel Economy, No Start, Power, Performance, Stall Concerns) - Canada ONLY Models: 2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Canada Only) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years and include an additional gasoline brand as a TOP TIER source.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 5615 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 6516 Page 1143 Page 4808 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Fuel System - Fuel Injector Maintenance Cleaning Fuel Injector: All Technical Service Bulletins Fuel System - Fuel Injector Maintenance Cleaning Bulletin No.: 04-06-04-051B Date: January 04, 2006 INFORMATION Subject: Maintenance Cleaning of Fuel Injectors Models: 2006 and Prior All General Motors Passenger Cars and Trucks 2003-2006 HUMMER H2 2006 HUMMER H3 Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years and update the name and part number of GM Fuel System Treatment.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 321 ^ For U.S. Saturn retailer claim submission, use Net Item code "M" and Case Type VW. Page 12643 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 9979 Metric Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development METRIC PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Page 2343 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-06-02-002A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System). Leak detection dye P/N 12378563 (J 29545-6) (in Canada P/N 88900915) may cause DEX-COOL(R) coolant to appear green in a black vessel making it appear to be conventional (green) coolant. This may cause a technician to add conventional coolant to a low DEX-COOL(R) system thus contaminating it. The green DEX-COOL(R) appearance is caused by the color of the leak detection dye which alters the color of the DEX-COOL(R) coolant. A new leak detection dye P/N 89022219 (J 46366) (in Canada P/N 89022220) has been released that does not alter the appearance of the DEX-COOL(R) coolant. When adding the new leak detection dye the color of the DEX-COOL(R) coolant will not change. For detecting leaks on any system that uses DEX-COOL(R) leak detection dye P/N 89022219 (in Canada P/N 89022220) should be used. The new leak detection dye can be used with both conventional and DEX-COOL(R) coolant. Disclaimer Page 12620 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 8789 8.

The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 5539 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 5676 Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Page 9299 5.

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 7276 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 10988 4. Gently pull the cable and the terminal (2) out of the back of the connector. 5. Re-form the locking device if you are going to reuse the terminal (1). 6. To repair the terminal, refer to Terminal Repair. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. Slip the cable seal away from the terminal. 2. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 3. Slip a new cable seal onto the wire. 4. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 5. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 6. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. 7. Slide the cable seal toward the terminal. 8. Crimp the cable seal and the insulation. 9. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply grease to the connector. REINSTALLING TERMINAL 1. In order to reuse a terminal or lead assembly. Refer to Wiring Repairs . 2. Ensure that the cable seal is kept on the terminal side of the splice. 3. Insert the lead from the back until it catches. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Pull to Seat Connectors PULL TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should be replaced. Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors: 1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into the front of the connector body. 5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal (1) out the front of the connector body (3). Page 7228 Page 11729 Page 6913 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

When installing a new diode use the following procedure. M/T - Hydraulic Clutch Bleeding Procedure Improvement Clutch Hydraulic System: Technical Service Bulletins M/T - Hydraulic Clutch Bleeding Procedure Improvement Bulletin No.: 01-07-31-002B Date: November 01, 2006 INFORMATION Subject: Improved Bleeding Procedure for Hydraulic Clutch Release System Models: 2007 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2007 and Prior Chevrolet and GMC 6-7F T-Series Medium Duty Tilt Cab Models 2007 and Prior Isuzu F-Series Medium Duty Tilt Cab Models 2006-2007 HUMMER H3 Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-07-31-002A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). This bulletin is being issued to inform dealers of an improved procedure to aid in the ease of bleeding the clutch hydraulic system for the above listed vehicles. This procedure can be used anytime air is introduced into the hydraulic system. Following this procedure may also reduce the number of unnecessary parts replaced for low clutch pedal reserve and high shift effort. Verify that all the lines and fittings are dry and secure. Clean the dirt and grease from the reservoir cap in order to ensure that no foreign substances enter the system. Remove the reservoir cap. Fill the reservoir to the proper level with the required fluid. Attach the J 43485 (Adapter) to the J 35555 (Mity Vac), or equivalent. Brake fluid will deteriorate the rubber on J 43485. Use a clean shop cloth to wipe away the fluid after each use. Place and hold the adapter on the reservoir filler neck to ensure a tight fit. In some cases, the adapter will fit into the reservoir opening. Apply a vacuum of 51-68 kPa (15-20 hg) and remove the adapter. Refill the reservoir to the proper level. Repeat Steps 6 and 7. If needed, refill the reservoir and continue to pull a vacuum until no more bubbles can be seen in the reservoir or until the fluid level no longer drops. The vehicle will move if started in gear before the Actuator Cylinder is refilled and operational. Start the vehicle the first time in neutral to help prevent personal injury from vehicle movement and see if the transmission will shift easily into gear. Pump the clutch pedal until firm (to refill actuator cylinder). Add additional fluid if needed. Test drive vehicle to ensure proper operation. Disclaimer Page 3123 19. If the timing chain tensioner is not in the compressed state, perform the following steps: 0. Remove the piston assembly from the body of the timing chain tensioner by pulling it out. 1. Install the J 45027-2 (2) into a vise. 2. Install the notch end of the piston assembly into the J 45027-2 (2). 3. Using the J 45027-1 (1), turn the ratchet cylinder into the piston. 20. Inspect the bore of the tensioner body for dirt, debris, and damage. If any damage appears, replace the tensioner. Clean dirt or debris out with a lint free cloth. 21. Install the compressed piston assembly back into the timing chain tensioner body until it stops at the bottom of the bore. Do not compress the piston assembly against the bottom of the bore. If the piston assembly is compressed against the bottom of the bore, it will activate the tensioner, which will then need to be reset again. 22. At this point the tensioner should measure approximately 72 mm (2.83 inch) (a) from end to end. If the tensioner does not read 72 mm (2.83 inch) (a) from end to end repeat steps 16.1 and 16.4. 23. Inspect to ensure all dirt and debris is removed from the timing chain tensioner threaded hole in the cylinder head. 24. Install the timing chain tensioner assembly. ^ Tighten the timing chain tensioner to 75 Nm (66 ft. lbs.). Page 6232 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation Tires: Service and Repair Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation ^ Tools Required J 39544-KIT Torque Limiting Socket Set Removal Procedure 1.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

Whenever the brake pedal is applied, the BPPS applies a variable voltage signal to the BCM through the stop lamp switch signal circuit. The BPPS calibration must be performed after the BPPS or body control module (BCM) have been serviced. The calibration procedure will set BPPS 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 the class 2 communication bus. CALIBRATION PROCEDURE - Install a scan tool. - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Select Diagnostics. - Select the vehicle. - Select Body and Accessories. - Select Lighting Systems. - Select Special Functions. - Select BCM. - Select the BPPS calibration procedure and follow the directions displayed on the screen. Locations Left Rear of the Engine Page 5050 Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor Page 324 Labor Time Information Page 12585 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 10977 Page 7400 Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation IGNITION CONTROL MODULE (ICM) AND IGNITION COILS The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies a signal on each of the ignition control (IC) timing control circuits to the ignition control module (ICM). The ICM fires the correct ignition coil at the correct time based on the signals. The ICM detects if cylinder 1 or cylinder 3 is on the compression stroke by sensing the secondary voltage and polarity of each side of the ignition coil. The ICM detects this voltage with sensing circuitry integrated into each ignition coil. The higher voltage is on the compressing cylinder. This is called compression sense ignition. The ICM provides a synthesized cam signal to the PCM based on these inputs. The PCM uses the cam signal to synchronize fuel injection. This system consists of the following circuits: - An ignition voltage circuit - A ground circuit - A camshaft position (CMP) sensor signal circuit - An IC timing control circuit for cylinders #1 and #4 - An IC timing control B circuit for cylinders #2 and #3 Page 4770 Mass Air Flow (MAF)/Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Page 7648 4. Connect the EI module harness connector. Push in until a click is heard and pull back to confirm a positive engagement. Page 6488 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Depress the switch on the rear of the tool to activate the light beam. 7. Rotate the power steering pulley as required to project the light beam onto the crankshaft balancer pulley grooves. 8. Inspect for proper power steering pulley alignment. - If the laser beam projects onto the second rib or raised area (1), the pulleys are aligned properly. - If the laser beam projects more than one-quarter rib 0.9 mm (0.035 in) mis-alignment, adjust the position of the power steering pulley as required. - Refer to SI for Power Steering Pulley Removal and Installation procedures. 9. Install the serpentine belt to the accessory drive system in the original orientation. 10. Operate the vehicle and verify that the belt noise concern is no longer present. Tool Information Please visit the GM service tool website for pricing information or to place your order for this tool. Page 4214 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 6730 Fuel Filler Cap: Description and Operation FUEL FILLER CAP NOTE: If a fuel tank filler cap requires replacement, use only a fuel tank filler cap with the same features. Failure to use the correct fuel tank filler cap can result in a serious malfunction of the fuel and EVAP system. The fuel fill pipe has a tethered fuel filler cap. A torque-limiting device prevents the cap from being over-tightened. To install the cap, turn the cap clockwise until you hear audible clicks. This indicates that the cap is correctly torqued and fully seated. A fuel filler cap that is not fully seated may cause a malfunction in the emission system. Page 9715 Customer Notification Customers will be notified of the Special Policy by General Motors (see copy of owner letter included with this bulletin).

Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 7907 The oil level control plug (65) is located on the torque converter side of the transmission. Page 4082 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.

The powertrain control module (PCM) turns the MIL ON by grounding the MIL control circuit. MIL OPERATION The MIL is located on the instrument panel (I/P). MIL Function The MIL informs the driver that a malfunction has occurred and the vehicle should be taken in for service as soon as possible. - The MIL illuminates during a bulb test and a system test. - A DTC will be stored if a MIL is requested by the diagnostic. MIL Illumination The MIL will illuminate with the ignition switch ON and the engine not running. - The MIL will turn OFF when the engine is started. - The MIL will remain ON if the self-diagnostic system has detected a malfunction. - The MIL may turn OFF if the malfunction is no longer present. - If the MIL is illuminated and then the engine stalls, the MIL will remain illuminated as long as the ignition switch is ON. - If the MIL is not illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition switch is cycled OFF, then ON. DIAGNOSTIC AIDS If the problem is intermittent, refer to Intermittent Conditions. See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic Strategies TEST DESCRIPTION Steps 1 - 6 The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table. 2. This step determines if the condition is with the MIL control circuit or the PCM. Page 4321 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

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

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 246 Page 5719 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 12073 OnStar(R) Microphone The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit. In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the microphone. Cellular and GPS Antennas The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas: ^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas. ^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a single part. ^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM). The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna. The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10 minutes to register in the event of a loss of power. Audio System Interface When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle receives a call with the radio ON. On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return to its previous setting. OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it. By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands. The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network. The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body control module (BCM). OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle) The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended. A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2 and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by accessing www.onstarenrollment.com All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After 48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF, Page 8133 3. Connect the electrical connector to the Shift Lock Control Solenoid. 4. Install the automatic transaxle control assembly. Page 10228 Tires: Service and Repair Tire Rotation Tire Rotation Rotate the tire and wheel assemblies at frequent intervals to equalize wear. In addition to scheduled rotation, rotate the tire and wheel assembly whenever uneven tire wear is noticed. Radial tires tend to wear faster in the shoulder area, particularly in front positions. Radial tires in non-drive locations may develop an irregular wear pattern that may increase tire noise. This makes regular rotation especially necessary. Always use a 4-wheel rotation. After rotation, check the wheel nuts for specified torque. Then set the tire pressure. Page 8125 Page 5990 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Locations Transmission Speed Sensor: Locations Automatic Transmission Electronic Component Views Electronic Components Electronic Components 13 - TFP Manual Valve Position Switch Assembly 46 - Input Speed Sensor 62 - Output Speed Sensor 305 - 1-2 and 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valves 305 - 1-2 and 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valves 312 Pressure Control Solenoid 335 - TCC Control PWM Solenoid Page 4431 Page 11988 In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this program enters your vehicle inventory, or is in your dealership/facility for service through April 30, 2011, you must take the steps necessary to be sure the program correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.

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 Page 8850 Jump Starting: Service and Repair JUMP STARTING IN CASE OF EMERGENCY CAUTION: Batteries produce explosive gases. Batteries contain corrosive acid. Batteries supply levels of electrical current high enough to cause burns. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of personal injury while working near a battery, observe the following guidelines: - Always shield your eyes. - Avoid leaning over the battery whenever possible. - Do not expose the battery to open flames or sparks. - Do not allow battery acid to contact the eyes or the skin. Flush any contacted areas with water immediately and thoroughly. - Get medical help. NOTE: This vehicle has a 12 volt, negative ground electrical system. Make sure the vehicle or equipment being used to jump start the engine is also 12 volt, negative ground. Use of any other type of system will damage the vehicle's electrical components. 1. Position the vehicle with the booster battery so that the jumper cables will reach. - Do not let the 2 vehicles touch. - Make sure that the jumper cables do not have loose ends, or missing insulation. 2. Place an automatic transmission in PARK. If equipped with a manual transmission, place in NEUTRAL and block the wheels. 3. Turn OFF all electrical loads on both vehicles that are not needed. 4. Turn OFF the ignition on both vehicles. 5. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the battery positive (+) terminal (2) of the vehicle with the discharged battery.Use a remote positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one. 6. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the positive (+) terminal (1) of the booster battery.Use a remote positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one. 7. Connect the black negative (-) cable to the negative (-) terminal (3) of the booster battery. 8. The final connection is made to a heavy, unpainted metal engine part (4) of the vehicle with the discharged battery.This final attachment must be at least 46 cm (18 in) away from the dead battery. CAUTION: Do not connect a jumper cable directly to the negative terminal of a discharged battery to prevent sparking and possible explosion of battery gases. 9. Start the engine of the vehicle that is providing the boost. 10. Crank the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery. NOTE: Never operate the starter motor more than 15 seconds at a time without pausing in order to allow it to cool for at least 2 minutes. Overheating will damage the starter motor. 11. The black negative (-) cable must be first disconnected from the vehicle that was boosted (4). 12. Disconnect the black negative (-) cable from the negative (-) terminal (3) of the booster battery. 13. Disconnect the red positive (+) cable from the positive (+) terminal (1) of the booster battery. NOTE: Do not let the cable end touch any metal. Damage to the battery and other components may result. 14. Disconnect the red positive (+) cable from the remote positive (+) terminal (2) of the vehicle with the discharged battery. Page 5940 Page 2140 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 9283 Warranty Information (excluding Saab U.S. Models) For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the appropriate labor operation for the source of the water leak Warranty Information (Saab U.S. Models) For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.

Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 7021 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Diagram Information and Instructions Crankshaft Position Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions Passenger Car Zoning PASSENGER CAR ZONING All grounds, in-line connectors, pass-through grommets, and splices have identifying numbers that correspond to where they are located in the vehicle.

This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 9686 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. 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. 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. Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors: ^ Tire construction ^ Wheel alignment Page 6176 Listed are Registered Trademarks ((R)) or Non-Registered Trademarks ((TM)) which may appear in this service data.

Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors: ^ Tire construction Variability in the tire construction may produce lead/pull. The rear tires will not cause lead/pull. ^ Wheel alignment ^ Brake Drag ^ Unbalanced steering gear Visual/Physical Inspection ^ Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of any of the suspension sub-systems. ^ Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom. ^ Inspect for proper tire size and inflation pressure. ^ Inspect for abnormal tire wear. Vehicle Leads/Pulls Alignment Diagnosis and Repair Front cross-caster and front cross-camber are the only wheel alignment parameters that influence lead or pull. If the vehicle leads/pulls to the left after performing the steps listed in SI Document ID, and the front wheel alignment parameters are found to be in specification, adjust the front left and/or right camber to achieve a cross-camber of -0.50° to -0.75°. Refer to Front Camber Adjustment, SI Document. The cross-camber is the difference between the left side camber and the right side camber (cross-camber = LH camber-RH camber). Positive cross-camber may cause the vehicle to pull to the left. For example: If the vehicle pulls to the left, adjust the cross-camber more negative and vice-versa. Steering Position and Torque Sensor Calibration Important: ONLY perform the steering position sensor and torque sensor recalibration procedure after the tires, suspension and alignment specifications have been inspected and/or corrected and the vehicle still exhibits a lead or pull condition. Failure to do so may result in additional customer lead and or pull concerns. After inspecting the suspension, tires and alignment, and if the vehicle still leads or/pulls, it may be necessary to recalibrate the steering position sensor and torque sensor. Refer to Control Module Setup, SI Document ID. Page 12725 Important: Secure the wiring harness so that there is no risk of chafing or rattling. 6.1.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3. Use the proper pick or removal tool (1) in order to release the terminal. Page 13150 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 1766 Page 3997 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 8505 Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Manual) Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Manual) Caution: Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant Caution in Service Precautions.

TERMINAL REPAIR PROCEDURE Use the appropriate terminal and crimper in the J-38125 in order to replace the terminal. Weather Pack Connectors WEATHER PACK CONNECTORS The following is the proper procedure for the repair of Weather Pack(R) Connectors. 1. Separate the connector halves (1). 2. Open the secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the connector (1). 3. Grasp the wire and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the wire in this position. 4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder (1). 5. Gently pull on the wire to remove the terminal through the back of the connector (2). IMPORTANT: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector. 6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary. 7. Reform the lock tang (2) and reset terminal in connector body. 8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves. 9. Verify that circuit is complete and working satisfactorily. 10. Perform system check. Page 1835 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 12435 Labor Time Information Page 5375 Page 5345 Page 8749 Second Design - Black Painted (DO NOT Lube) Hydraulic Assist Power Steering First Design - Bare Steel Tube (Lube OK) Second Design - Black Painted (DO NOT Lube) In the unlikely event that the source of the noise is identified as a second design shaft with black painted tube, it must be replaced. Correction 1 (Only for First Design - DO NOT USE FOR 2ND DESIGN) Lubricate the intermediate shaft with steering column shaft lubrication kit, P/N 26098237. 1. From inside the vehicle, remove the instrument panel insulator panel - left side panel to gain access to the intermediate shaft. 2. Remove the intermediate shaft to steering column attachment bolt. 3. Remove the intermediate shaft from the steering column. 4. Extend the intermediate shaft all the way. Using the intermediate shaft grease kit, P/N 26098237, inject the grease into the gap between the inner shaft and the outer shaft as you are collapsing the shaft. This will draw the grease into the shaft. 5. Cycle the shaft up and down several times to distribute the grease. Important Remove original thread locker material from the bolt and apply Loctite(R) 242 (or equivalent) to the threads of the bolt and reinstall intermediate shaft bolt. 6. Install the intermediate shaft to the column. Tighten - For electronic power steering, tighten the bolt to 49 Nm (36 lb ft). - For hydraulic power steering, tighten the bolt to 62 Nm (46 lb ft). Page 10779 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 4505 Conversion - English/Metric Part 2 Diagnostic Work Sheets DIAGNOSTIC WORK SHEETS The GM Diagnostic Worksheet has been designed to improve communications between the service customer and the technician.

Verify that the noise is no longer present. Condition 2 There may be interference between the clamp and the steering gear input shaft. The clamp is beveled and if forced down on the input shaft too hard, it may cause a loose fit with the intermediate shaft to input shaft joint. Correction 2 To correct this condition, perform the following steps: 1. Remove the intermediate shaft pinch bolt at the steering gear end. 2. Install a new bolt, GM P/N 07845238, but do not tighten the bolt at this time. 3. Pry the clamp up using a pry bar to position the bolt into the upper part of the groove as shown above. This will position the clamp off the bevel. 4. While keeping the clamp in the upper position, tighten the bolt. Tighten Tighten the bolt to 49 Nm (36 lb ft). 5. Verify that the clunk noise is no longer present. Condition 3 Important This condition ONLY applies to 2004-2007 Chevrolet Malibu/Maxx and 2005-2007 Pontiac G6. Some customers may comment on a knocking or rattling type noise from the front of the vehicle when driven at low speeds and over bumps. The noise only occurs when the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position and sounds like the noise is in the left suspension of the vehicle or directly in front of the driver. Correction 3 1. Ensure the noise is not caused by Condition # 1. 2. Determine the source of the noise. Install the chassis ears at the following locations: - sway bar link - one side at a time - upper strut mount - one side at a time - steering gear near the pinion area - base of the steering column housing - radiator surge tank 3. If the noise is coming from the upper strut mount or sway bar link, replace as necessary and retest. 4. For 2004-2006 Chevrolet and Pontiac model year vehicles, the noise may be coming from the radiator surge tank area. (The 2007 model year vehicles use a different style radiator surge tank - refer to Step 9.) 5. If the noise is coming from the radiator surge tank, release the two retaining tabs holding the radiator surge tank and reposition the tank away from the attaching bracket and isolate with closed cell foam. 6. Cut three pieces of closed cell foam, P/N P46515 (or equivalent), into 25 mm (1 in) by 102 mm (4 in) pieces. 7. Cut two pieces of closed cell foam into 25 mm (1 in) by 6 mm (1/4 in) pieces. Page 7036 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 8612 11.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further.

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.

Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 7632 Page 2298 5.

Courtesy Transportation - For US and Canada (GM Only) The General Motors Courtesy Transportation program is intended to minimize customer inconvenience when a vehicle requires a repair that is covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The availability of courtesy transportation to customers whose vehicles are within the warranty coverage period and involved in a product recall 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. Page 5246 Body Control Module (BCM) C4 Part 1 Page 8422 Page 12127 Page 6023 Powertrain Control Module (PCM) C2 Part 1 Page 2924 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.

Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors: ^ Tire construction Variability in the tire construction may produce lead/pull. The rear tires will not cause lead/pull. ^ Wheel alignment ^ Brake Drag ^ Unbalanced steering gear Visual/Physical Inspection ^ Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of any of the suspension sub-systems. ^ Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom. ^ Inspect for proper tire size and inflation pressure. ^ Inspect for abnormal tire wear. Vehicle Leads/Pulls Alignment Diagnosis and Repair Front cross-caster and front cross-camber are the only wheel alignment parameters that influence lead or pull. If the vehicle leads/pulls to the left after performing the steps listed in SI Document ID, and the front wheel alignment parameters are found to be in specification, adjust the front left and/or right camber to achieve a cross-camber of -0.50° to -0.75°. Refer to Front Camber Adjustment, SI Document. The cross-camber is the difference between the left side camber and the right side camber (cross-camber = LH camber-RH camber). Positive cross-camber may cause the vehicle to pull to the left. For example: If the vehicle pulls to the left, adjust the cross-camber more negative and vice-versa. Steering Position and Torque Sensor Calibration Important: ONLY perform the steering position sensor and torque sensor recalibration procedure after the tires, suspension and alignment specifications have been inspected and/or corrected and the vehicle still exhibits a lead or pull condition. Failure to do so may result in additional customer lead and or pull concerns. After inspecting the suspension, tires and alignment, and if the vehicle still leads or/pulls, it may be necessary to recalibrate the steering position sensor and torque sensor. Refer to Control Module Setup, SI Document ID. Page 10573 For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Disclaimer Page 13951 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE IMPORTANT: - The service part comes as an assembly that includes the plenum lower panel. If the repair does not require the plenum, remove the plenum before you install the dash panel. - If the location of the original plug weld holes can not be determined, space the plug weld holes every 40 mm (1 1/2 in) apart. 1. Drill 8 mm (5/16 in) plug weld holes in the service part as necessary in the corresponding locations noted on the original panel. 2. Prepare all mating surfaces as necessary. 3. Apply 3M(R) Weld-Thru Coating P/N 05916 or equivalent to all mating surfaces. Page 11941 Page 13280 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 11388 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 5090 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 5917 Claim Information (GM and Saturn Canada Only) Submit a Product Recall Claim with the information shown.

This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 4882 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 627 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 13587 1.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC.

The fuel pressure regulator is a diaphragm relief valve. The diaphragm has fuel pressure on one side and regulator spring pressure on the other side. A software bias compensates the injector on-time because the fuel pressure regulator is not referenced to the manifold vacuum. The fuel pressure regulator keeps fuel available to the injectors at a regulated pressure. Page 11401 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 6579 Positive Crankcase Ventilation: Description and Operation Crankcase Ventilation System Description General Description A crankcase ventilation system is used to consume crankcase vapors in the combustion process instead of venting them to atmosphere. Fresh air from the intake system is supplied to the crankcase, mixed with blow by gases and then passed through a calibrated orifice into the intake manifold. Operation The primary control is through the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) orifice which meters the flow at a rate depending on inlet vacuum. The PCV orifice is an integral part of the camshaft cover. If abnormal operating conditions occur, the system is designed to allow excessive amounts of blow by gases to back flow through the crankcase vent into the intake system to be consumed by normal combustion. Results of Incorrect Operation A plugged orifice may cause the following conditions: ^ Rough idle ^ Stalling or slow idle speed ^ Oil leaks ^ Sludge in engine A leaking orifice may cause the following conditions: ^ Rough idle ^ Stalling ^ High idle speed Page 3184 Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure FUEL PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE CAUTION: Refer to Battery Disconnect Caution in Service Precautions. 1.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 9854 parts or damage.

Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 3618 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs Page 11220 Page 107 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 4508 Listed are Registered Trademarks ((R)) or Non-Registered Trademarks ((TM)) which may appear in this service data.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-07-30-036G (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). Some dealership technicians may have difficulty diagnosing DTC P0756, 2-3 Shift Valve Performance on 4L60-E, 4L65-E or 4L70E automatic transmissions. As detailed in the Service Manual, when the PCM detects a 4-3-3-4 shift pattern, DTC P0756 will set. Some customers may also describe a condition of a second, third or fourth gear start that may have the same causes but has not set this DTC yet. Below are some tips when diagnosing this DTC: ^ This is a performance code. This means that a mechanical malfunction exists. ^ This code is not set by electrical issues such as a damaged wiring harness or poor electrical connections. Electrical problems would cause a DTC P0758, P0787 or P0788 to set. ^ The most likely cause is chips/debris plugging the filtered AFL oil at orifice # 29 on the top of the spacer plate (48). This is a very small hole and is easily plugged by a small amount of debris. It is important to remove the spacer plate and inspect orifice # 29 and the immediate area for the presence of chips/debris. Also, the transmission case passage directly above this orifice and the valve body passage directly below should be inspected and cleaned of any chips/debris. For 2003 and newer vehicles the spacer plate should be replaced. The service replacement spacer plate is a bonded style with gaskets and solenoid filter screens bonded to the spacer plate. These screens can help to prevent plugging of orifice # 29 caused by small debris or chips. ^ This code could be set if the 2-3 shift valve (368) were stuck or hung-up in its bore. Inspect the 2-3 shift valve (368) and the 2-3 shuttle valve (369) for free movement or damage and clean the valves, the bore and the valve body passages. ^ This code could be set by a 2-3 shift solenoid (367b) if it were cracked, broken or leaking. Refer to Shift Solenoid Leak Test in the appropriate Service Manual for the leak test procedure. Based on parts return findings, a damaged or leaking shift solenoid is the least likely cause of this condition. Simply replacing a shift solenoid will not correct this condition unless the solenoid has been found to be cracked, broken or leaking. It is important to also refer to the appropriate Service Manual or Service Information (SI) for further possible causes of this condition. Disclaimer Page 6017 Page 8684 13. Loosen the die clamping screw of the J 45405. 14. Select the corresponding die set and install the die halves into the die cage with the full, flat face of one die facing the clamping screw, and the counterbores of both dies facing the forming ram. 15. Place the flat face of an unused die (1) against the die halves in the clamping cage and hold firmly against the counterbored face of the dies. 16. Insert the prepared end of the pipe to be flared through the back of the dies until the pipe is seated against the flat surface of the unused die (1). 17. Remove the unused die (1). 18. Ensure that the rear of both dies are seated firmly against the enclosed end of the die cage. 19. Firmly hand tighten the clamping screw (2) against the dies. Page 4164 Page 6406 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 12221 Page 3546 Processes shown in the Table 3 are capable of recycling waste engine coolants (DEX-COOL(R) or conventional) to a conventional (green) coolant. Recycling conventional coolant can be accomplished at your facility by a technician using approved EQUIPMENT (listed by model number in Table 3), or by an approved coolant recycling SERVICE which may recycle the coolant at your facility or at an offsite operation. Refer to the table for GM approved coolant recyclers in either of these two categories. Should you decide to recycle the coolant yourself, strict adherence to the operating procedures is imperative. Use ONLY the inhibitor chemicals supplied by the respective (GM approved) recycling equipment manufacturer. Sealing Tablets Cooling System Sealing Tablets (Seal Tabs) should not be used as a regular maintenance item after servicing an engine cooling system. Discoloration of coolant can occur if too many seal tabs have been inserted into the cooling system. This can occur if seal tabs are repeatedly used over the service life of a vehicle. Where appropriate, seal tabs may be used if diagnostics fail to repair a small leak in the cooling system. When a condition appears in which seal tabs may be recommended, a specific bulletin will be released describing their proper usage. Water Quality The integrity of the coolant is dependent upon the quality of DEX-COOL(R) and water. DEX-COOL(R) is a product that has enhanced protection capability as well as an extended service interval. These enhanced properties may be jeopardized by combining DEX-COOL(R) with poor quality water. If you suspect the water in your area of being poor quality, it is recommended you use distilled or de-ionized water with DEX-COOL(R). "Pink" DEX-COOL(R) DEX-COOL(R) is orange in color to distinguish it from other coolants. Due to inconsistencies in the mixing of the dyes used with DEX-COOL(R), some batches may appear pink after time. The color shift from orange to pink does not affect the integrity of the coolant, and still maintains the 5 yr/150,000 mile (240,000 km) service interval. Back Service Only use DEX-COOL(R) if the vehicle was originally equipped with DEX-COOL(R). Page 1836 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 6440 Page 3244 The numbers below refer to the step number on the diagnostic table. 2. The noise may not be engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If the engine is not making the noise do not proceed further with this table. 3. The noise may be an internal engine noise. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine for a brief period will verify the noise is related to the drive belt. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed. 4. Inspect all drive belt pulleys for pilling. Pilling is the small balls or pills or it 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 misalign pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across 2 or 3 pulleys. If a misalign pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley. 10. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer was installed. 12. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is used to drive the pulley. 14. Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged or there is not excessive pilling will only be a temporary repair. Drive Belt Excessive Wear Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis Diagnostic Aids 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. Page 9905 7. Wipe off any excessive grease on the intermediate shaft to avoid damage from drips on the carpet. 8. Install the instrument panel insulator panel - left side. 9. Verify that the noise is no longer present. Condition 2 There may be interference between the clamp and the steering gear input shaft. The clamp is beveled and if forced down on the input shaft too hard, it may cause a loose fit with the intermediate shaft to input shaft joint. Correction 2 To correct this condition, perform the following steps: 1. Remove the intermediate shaft pinch bolt at the steering gear end. 2. Install a new bolt, GM P/N 07845238, but do not tighten the bolt at this time. 3. Pry the clamp up using a pry bar to position the bolt into the upper part of the groove as shown above. This will position the clamp off the bevel. 4. While keeping the clamp in the upper position, tighten the bolt. Tighten Tighten the bolt to 49 Nm (36 lb ft). 5. Verify that the clunk noise is no longer present. Condition 3 Important This condition ONLY applies to 2004-2007 Chevrolet Malibu/Maxx and 2005-2007 Pontiac G6. Some customers may comment on a knocking or rattling type noise from the front of the vehicle when driven at low speeds and over bumps. The noise only occurs when the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position and sounds like the noise is in the left suspension of the vehicle or directly in front of the driver. Correction 3 1. Ensure the noise is not caused by Condition # 1. 2. Determine the source of the noise. Install the chassis ears at the following locations: - sway bar link - one side at a time - upper strut mount - one side at a time - steering gear near the pinion area - base of the steering column housing - radiator surge tank 3. If the noise is coming from the upper strut mount or sway bar link, replace as necessary and retest. 4. For 2004-2006 Chevrolet and Pontiac model year vehicles, the noise may be coming from the radiator surge tank area. (The 2007 model year vehicles use a different style radiator surge tank - refer to Step 9.) 5. If the noise is coming from the radiator surge tank, release the two retaining tabs holding the radiator surge tank and reposition the tank away from the attaching bracket and isolate with closed cell foam. 6. Cut three pieces of closed cell foam, P/N P46515 (or equivalent), into 25 mm (1 in) by 102 mm (4 in) pieces. 7. Cut two pieces of closed cell foam into 25 mm (1 in) by 6 mm (1/4 in) pieces. Page 4219 4. Gently pull the cable and the terminal (2) out of the back of the connector. 5. Re-form the locking device if you are going to reuse the terminal (1). 6. To repair the terminal, refer to Terminal Repair. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. Slip the cable seal away from the terminal. 2. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 3. Slip a new cable seal onto the wire. 4. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 5. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 6. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. 7. Slide the cable seal toward the terminal. 8. Crimp the cable seal and the insulation. 9. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply grease to the connector. REINSTALLING TERMINAL 1. In order to reuse a terminal or lead assembly. Refer to Wiring Repairs . 2. Ensure that the cable seal is kept on the terminal side of the splice. 3. Insert the lead from the back until it catches. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Pull to Seat Connectors PULL TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should be replaced. Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors: 1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into the front of the connector body. 5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal (1) out the front of the connector body (3). Service and Repair Timing Chain: Service and Repair Camshaft Timing Chain, Sprocket, and Tensioner Replacement Removal Procedure 1.

Installation Procedure Page 1088 Page 10893 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 1 Page 5104 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 7243 Page 9595 5. Remove paint and primer from the area surrounding the 10 mm (0.40 in) 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. 6. Select a M6 conductive rivet stud. Refer to the Parts Information section of this bulletin. Note Use the GE-50317 rivet stud tool kit. 7. 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). 8. Using a wrench on the rivet stud tool, and a socket on the M6 nut, secure the M6 conductive rivet stud. 9. Ensure the new rivet stud is securely fastened, WITHOUT ANY detectable movement. 10. Completely wrap the threads of the rivet stud with painters tape or equivalent. Page 12906 ^ I/O check Any faults detected during the initialization self-test shall generate a DTC. All nodes also continuously perform a self-test while in an active state. DTCs and their associated telltales will set as a result of unprogrammed or unlearned information. DTCs, which are defined for system configuration (e.g. Vehicle Option Content not programmed) do not support the history status bit (set =0). Warning indicator bit is also set, when applicable, while this DTC is present. Action Taken When the DTCs Sets The module suspends all message transmission. The module uses default values for all parameters received on the serial data circuits. The module inhibits the setting of all other communication DTCs. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction. Circuit/System Verification Refer to Data Link References to determine which serial data system is used for a specific module. The DTCs cannot be retrieved with a current status. Diagnosis is accomplished using the following symptom procedures: Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device in SI. OR Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Low Speed GMLAN Device in SI. DTC U1300, U1301, or U1305 Circuit Description Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. In addition to this, Node Alive messages are transmitted by each module on the Class 2 serial data circuit about once every 2 seconds. When the module detects one of the following conditions on the Class 2 serial data circuit for approximately 3 seconds, the setting of all other Class 2 serial communication DTCs is inhibited and a DTC will set. Conditions for Running the DTCs Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range. The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTCs No valid messages are detected on the Class 2 serial data circuit. The voltage level detected on the Class 2 serial data circuit is in one of the following conditions: Page 3648 Page 13924 Important: Do not touch the adhesive backing on the emblem/nameplate. 6.

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 Page 1237 Left Side Of HVAC Case Page 7431 7.

Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 14188 7.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 7494 Page 6912 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 12559 7.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 11008 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

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.

Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 3600 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 7497 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.

Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker: This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is removed. Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker: This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2. Circuit Protection - Fuses CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSES Page 12373 Page 13887 4.

Note During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike caused by the following: ^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system. ^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload. OnStar(R) System States of Readiness The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF. ^ High power ^ Low power ^ Sleep ^ Digital standby The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or when the system is performing a remote function. The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or RUN position, or with RAP enabled. The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions. If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby) based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again received. If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the following: ^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate ^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason. ^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded. Page 4380 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 8389 Page 14067 18.

Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 1567 3. Use a small flat-bladed tool to gently pry off the dress cover by inserting the tool under the cover opposite the harness side and prying up. 4.

This will release the terminal position assurance (TPA). 6. Insert the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) into the corresponding terminal release cavity. The release cavities are the 2 center rows of cavities on one half of the connector. Page 11003 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 8464 Transmission Speed Sensor: Diagrams Page 6004 PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening. ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Campaign - Unwanted Repeat Calls to OnStar(R) Technical Service Bulletin # 10037 Date: 100420 Campaign - Unwanted Repeat Calls to OnStar(R) CUSTOMER SATISFACTION Bulletin No.: 10037 Date: April 20, 2010 Subject: 10037 - Unwanted Repeat Calls to OnStar(R) Models: 2003 Buick LeSabre 2004-2006 Buick Rendezvous 2005 Buick LeSabre, Terraza 2005-2006 Buick LaCrosse/Allure 2006-2008 Buick Lucerne 2008 Buick LaCrosse/Allure 2008-2009 Buick Enclave 2003 Cadillac CTS 2004 Cadillac Escalade 2004-2005 Cadillac CTS-V, Deville 2005 Cadillac Escalade ESV, SRX 2005-2006 Cadillac STS 2005-2008 Cadillac CTS 2006-2008 Cadillac DTS 2007 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade EXT 2007-2008 Cadillac Escalade ESV 2008 Cadillac SRX, STS 2002 Chevrolet Impala 2003-2008 Chevrolet Suburban 2003-2009 Chevrolet Silverado 2004-2008 Chevrolet Impala 2005 Chevrolet Colorado, Corvette, Malibu 2005-2006 Chevrolet Uplander 2005-2008 Chevrolet Avalanche, Tahoe, TrailBlazer 2006 Chevrolet HHR, Monte Carlo 2006-2008 Chevrolet Equinox 2007-2008 Chevrolet Corvette 2008 Chevrolet HHR 2008-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt, Colorado, Malibu, Uplander 2003 GMC Envoy XL, Sierra, Yukon XL 2004-2008 GMC Yukon 2005-2009 GMC Sierra 2005-2008 GMC Yukon XL 2006-2008 GMC Envoy 2007 GMC Canyon 2007-2009 GMC Acadia 2006 HUMMER H2 2006-2008 HUMMER H3 2008 HUMMER H2 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette 2005 Montana SV6 2005-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix 2006 Pontiac G6, Vibe 2007 Pontiac Montana SV6 2007-2008 Pontiac Solstice 2008 Pontiac G6, Torrent 2008-2009 Pontiac G5, G8 2009 Pontiac G3, Montana SV6 2005-2007 Saturn ION 2006-2009Saturn VUE 2007-2008 Saturn AURA, OUTLOOK, SKY Equipped with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1) Page 8262 Right Side Control Valve Body Assembly Control Valve Body Assembly Chart, Valve Springs and Bore Plugs Using GM Brake Clean, or equivalent, in a safe and clean environment (clean aluminum pan) clean the valve body and dry it with compressed air.

Disclaimer Page 10885 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 5540 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 13274 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 11517 Involved are certain vehicles within the VIN breakpoints shown above. PARTS INFORMATION -- Saab US Only Customer Notification General Motors will notify customers of this special coverage on their vehicles (see copy of typical customer letter shown in this bulletin - actual divisional letter may vary slightly). Page 7144 Metric Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development METRIC PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Steering - Front End Clunk/Rattle/Knock On Bumps Strut Mount: All Technical Service Bulletins Steering - Front End Clunk/Rattle/Knock On Bumps TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 06-02-32-007G Date: April 05, 2010 Subject: Clunk, Knock or Rattle Noise From Front of Vehicle While Driving or Turning Over Bumps at Low Speeds (Diagnose Noise and Perform Outlined Repair) Models: 2004-2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 2007-2010 Saturn Aura Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Parts Information for the bolt. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-02-32-007F (Section 02 - Steering). Condition 1 Some customers may comment on a clunk noise heard and felt in the steering wheel while driving at slow speeds and turning. The clunk noise may appear to be directly in front of the driver. Hitting a bump while turning can produce the clunk noise. Sometimes the noise may be duplicated when the vehicle is sitting still and the steering wheel is turned 90 degrees in either direction before initially centering the steering wheel. Cause 1 The clunk noise may be caused by a slip/stick condition between the inner and outer components of the intermediate shaft. Important Revised design intermediate shafts went into production in the 2009 model year and are the only design currently available through GMSPO since approximately September 2008. Since any model year vehicle could have had a second design shaft installed, it is critical to identify it before proceeding. The revised design intermediate shafts will NOT tolerate any type of lubricant per the following instructions. Adding lube to the second design shafts will cause a clunk noise in a very short period of time. Use the following pictures to identify which design of shaft you are servicing. Electric Assist Power Steering First Design - Bare Steel Tube (Lube OK) Page 1898 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3.

This bulletin applies to U.S. and Canadian dealers only and is not intended for use by export dealers. When a navigation radio warranty exchange is performed, the customer must have a navigation disc to operate the new radio. If the customer's navigation disc was damaged or is stuck in the failed radio, the customer would have to wait for an excessive period of time for the disc to be returned or replaced. The Electronic Service Centers (ESC) are not authorized to remove stuck navigation discs from cores, as the cores must be returned to the supplier for analysis prior to any disassembly. The time it would take for the supplier to return the navigation disc would significantly delay the completion of the repair at the dealership. If the customer's navigation disc is damaged or cannot be removed from the radio, the dealership is to obtain an exchange radio through an ESC and a new navigation disc through the GM Navigation Disc Center. Both items can be shipped overnight to the dealership upon request. GM Navigation Disc Center Contact Information Via the web through gmnavdisc.com The GM Navigation Disc Center is also the center of expertise for navigation system questions. Warranty Information Include the part number and cost of the new navigation disc on the warranty claim for the navigation radio exchange. Disclaimer Page 11823 12.2.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 4472 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 10518 Control Module HVAC: Service and Repair HVAC System - Automatic Blower Motor Control Processor Replacement BLOWER MOTOR CONTROL PROCESSOR REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 5091 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 3408 8. Remove the fixed timing chain guide access plug. 9. Remove the fixed timing chain guide. Page 7176 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 4675 CKP System Variation Learn Procedure Crankshaft Position Sensor: Service and Repair CKP System Variation Learn Procedure CKP SYSTEM VARIATION LEARN PROCEDURE 1. Install a scan tool. 2. Monitor the powertrain control module (PCM) for DTCs with a scan tool. If other DTCs are set, except DTC P0315, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information for the applicable DTC that set. 3. Select the crankshaft position (CKP) variation learn procedure with a scan tool. 4. The scan tool instructs you to perform the following: 1. Accelerate to wide open throttle (WOT). 2.

With the AIR BAG fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate an SIR system malfunction. 6. Open front hood and locate the front end sensor (1), also known as the electronic front sensor (EFS). 7. Remove both connector position assurance (CPA) from the right and left front end sensor connector. 8. Remove both front end sensors connector from the front end sensor (1). ENABLING PROCEDURE Page 5715 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

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 Page 7324 4. Gently pull the cable and the terminal (2) out of the back of the connector. 5. Re-form the locking device if you are going to reuse the terminal (1). 6.

Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 8916 Listed are Registered Trademarks ((R)) or Non-Registered Trademarks ((TM)) which may appear in this service data.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-49-016A (Section 08 - Body & Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment that the backlighting on the IPC does not illuminate in the daylight hours with headlamps manually turned on. They may further state that the backlighting does function at night, but not in the day time. Cause On these vehicles, backlighting for the IPC is not enabled unless the vehicle's lighting photocell determines that there is a nighttime ambient condition. Backlighting is not controlled through the use of the park lamp or headlamp switch. The conditions under which the photocell activates the backlighting may not satisfy each particular customer's personal expectations, or the customer may simply prefer to have the backlighting always illuminated on the IPC when headlamps are manually turned on. Correction Module reprogramming must be done using the Pass-Thru method. Select "Instrument Panel (Backlight Dimming Fix ONLY)" from the Supported Controllers list. For customers who wish to have the IPC backlighting illuminated, a new service calibration is now available that will activate the backlighting to full intensity during daytime hours with headlamps manually turned on. Reprogram the BCM using SPS. The new calibrations are currently available on TIS2WEB. Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Page 4528 Knock Sensor: Service and Repair KNOCK SENSOR (KS) REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1. Record the preset radio station. 2. Turn the ignition OFF. 3. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 4. Remove the knock sensor (KS) harness connector. 5. Remove the KS from the retaining clip by inserting a flat-bladed screwdriver between the connector and the clip while sliding the connector upward. 6. Remove the KS. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 1. Insert the KS pigtail connector with the retaining clip into the intake manifold hole or slide the KS pigtail connector over the retaining clip from the top. IMPORTANT: If a new KS pigtail connector retaining clip is going to be used, the old one must be removed from the intake manifold. Use a push pin removal tool to remove the clip from the intake manifold. 2. Connect the KS harness connector. Push in the connector until a click is heard, then pull back to confirm a positive engagement. 3. Install the KS at the 9 o'clock position and the attachment bolt. NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: The larger metal contact area of the KS MUST be towards the engine block. DTC P0325 may result if the sensor is installed backwards. Page 106 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 5066 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 5696 Oxygen Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 11586 Test Description DTC U1001 and U1254 Circuit/System Description Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to the 3-digit identification number is set. Page 6727 Chevrolet Malibu, DTC P0442 or P0455 may be set by either a cracked EVAP canister or a fuel gauge that does not measure fuel level accurately. For EVAP canister concerns, refer to bulletin 05-06-04-004A. For fuel gauge concerns, refer to bulletin 04-08-49-025. If the fuel cap cannot be tightened or removed, proceed to the section below titled, Replacing Broken Fuel Cap. If DTC P0442 - Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Small Leak Detected is stored in the Engine Control Module (ECM), proceed to section titled DTC P0442. If DTC P0455 - Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Large Leak Detected is stored in the ECM, proceed to section titled DTC P0455. Refer to the appropriate Service Information (SI) for additional Diagnostic Assistance. Some vehicles may intermittently set a DTC of P0442 or P0455, leak in the evaporative emissions system. In addition to checking the system and performing the diagnostics as described in the Service Information for this DTC, the technician should be aware that some of the fuel caps used on GM vehicles may not seal adequately to the filler neck if pushed down when being tightened. This may occur more often when this cap is used on a vehicle with a steel fuel filler neck. The owner should be instructed not to apply a downward force to the fuel cap when tightening. Replacing Broken Fuel Cap Remove the fuel cap tether from the fuel filler pocket or fuel filler door. Remove the fuel cap from the fuel filler. If the fuel cap cannot be removed, remove the fuel cap ratcheting cover by releasing the four (4) tabs holding the cap cover to the lugged sealing base. Position the radiator hose removal tool or similar type tool between the black cover and white inside body, and pry the cover over the retaining tab by rotating the tool counter clockwise. Repeat, if necessary, on the 3 other locations around the cover. Remove the white fuel cap base from the filler pipe by rotating the fuel cap base counter clockwise. Install the new fuel filler cap and secure the tether to the fuel filler pocket or filler door. DTC P0455 - (Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Large Leak Detected) Diagnostic Aids: P0455 diagnostics is checking for a large leak in the EVAP system. Examples of conditions that may contribute to this code setting are: loose or broken fuel cap, disconnected or cracked EVAP lines, cracked charcoal canister, sticking purge or vent solenoids, inaccurate fuel gauge, etc. DTC P0442 - (Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Small Leak Detected) Diagnostic Aids: P0442 diagnostics is checking for a 0.5 mm (0.020 in) sized hole in the EVAP system. Examples of conditions which may cause this type leak could include: cracked EVAP lines, cracked charcoal canister, a cut or dirty fuel cap seal, debris on the purge or vent solenoid internal seals, loose fuel lines, etc. Refer to Fuel Cap Inspection for P0442.

Replace the OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) in the vehicle with the provided Digitally-Capable VCIM. Refer to the Communication Interface Module Replacement procedure in the Cellular Communication section of SI. This kit may include a new VCIM bracket. If it does, use this new bracket on the vehicle and discard the original bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, plug the wiring jumper cable into the connector on the VCIM and the other end to the corresponding vehicle wiring harness connector. ^ For 2001, 2002 and 2003 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, do not reinstall the black plastic OnStar(R) module cover onto the vehicle after the VCIM and module bracket have been installed. This black plastic cover will no longer fit on the vehicle. ^ The upgrade kit for 2002 Sevilles and DeVilles, and some 2003 Sevilles and DeVilles, will contain a large bracket. To install the new VCIM into this bracket you'll need to carefully line up the notch in the VCIM with the tab in the bracket. Page 10731 Air Bag: Diagrams Inflatable Restraint I/P Module Inflatable Restraint I/P Module C1 Page 2084 Page 4103 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. Disclaimer Page 1565 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 4260 Page 6143 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Body - Liftgate May Relatch When Using Power Release Trunk / Liftgate Latch: All Technical Service Bulletins Body - Liftgate May Relatch When Using Power Release Bulletin No.: 04-08-66-011A Date: May 22, 2006 ADVANCE SERVICE INFORMATION RESOLUTION Subject: Liftgate May Relatch After Opening with Power Release (Inspect Latch/Replace Rear Liftgate Latch Assist Spring) Models: 2004-2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add Correction, Parts and Warranty Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-08-66-011 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment that after using the power release, the rear liftgate may still be latched and have to be released again in order to open. Cause After the liftgate is released and the driver or passenger exit, in most cases one of the passenger doors is then closed. This action creates a rush of air that raises the liftgate slightly. If another door is then opened quickly, the resulting vacuum may pull the liftgate down and engage the latch. Correction Between 2004 and SOP 2006 there are three different build configurations for the rear latch bracket assembly. These changes consist of a new latch assembly during 2005 with an assist spring, and a stronger spring for SOP 2006 which require no further action. Depending on the date of manufacture, follow the instructions below. 2004 Model Year Vehicles Vehicles built for the 2004 model year cannot be altered. No attempt should be made to change any components. These vehicles were built with the original latch configuration which will not accept a latch assist spring. If the customer encounters this concern stress the location of the touch pad under the lip of the liftgate. This pad will electrically release the hatch, minimizing customer inconvenience. 2005 Model Year Vehicles up to VIN Breakpoint 5F232876 Starting on 1/17/2005, the rear liftgate latch was installed with a 6 lb force assist spring in the latch assembly. Open the liftgate and visually inspect the latch. If a spring is visible, refer to the repair procedure section below and replace the spring with an 8 lb force spring, P/N 15866297. Under some conditions with multiple occupant door opening and closings, it is still possible in rare instances, even with this heavier rate spring installed, that the customer may experience a relatch of the rear liftgate. This is normal. Vehicles built between SOP 2005 and 1/17/05 (VIN breakpoint 5F232875) may have been built with the revised latch bracket, but without a spring installed. Page 10193 Tire Pressure Sensor: Technical Service Bulletins Tire Monitor System - TPM Sensor Information INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 08-03-16-003 Date: May 12, 2008 Subject: Warranty Reduction - Transfer of Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensors to Replacement Wheels and Allowable TPM Sensor Replacements Models: 2000-2009 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2009 HUMMER H2 2006-2009 HUMMER H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7x with On-Wheel TPM Sensors TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they become necessary. Important: Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be transferred if one or more wheels are replaced. TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)). Important: ^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut. Notice: ^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps. These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals. On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in). For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order and use. Disclaimer Page 10745 9.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 5097 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Page 11292 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 1 Page 1937 Page 10824 Page 6684 Navigation Radio - Adaptation After Radio/Battery R&R; Navigation System: All Technical Service Bulletins Navigation Radio - Adaptation After Radio/Battery R&R; INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 08-08-44-023 Date: June 18, 2008 Subject: Information On Navigation Radio Not Displaying Accurate Vehicle Location After Radio Replacement, Power Loss Or Battery Replacement Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2009 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X with Navigation Radio The purpose of this bulletin is to inform technicians and customers that the Navigation Radio may not display the vehicle location icon on the map accurately after a radio or battery has been replaced or after battery power has been removed from the radio. The vehicle location icon accuracy may be degraded if the GPS signal is not available and the GPS displayed icon has a red line through it. The Navigation Radio does not keep learned GPS information or gyroscope and vehicle speed signals stored when the battery power is removed from the radio. The Navigation radio continually uses GPS, gyroscope and vehicle speed data to maintain the vehicle location icon positioned accurately on the displayed map. There may be periods of time during a drive cycle when the GPS signal may not be available and the vehicle location icon still appears to be accurate. This is due to the radio having internal gyroscopes and receiving a vehicle speed signal to maintain accuracy if the radio had received a good GPS signal earlier in the drive cycle. Normal driving will improve the accuracy of the vehicle location icon on the displayed map. It may be necessary for the vehicle to be driven up to 40 km (25 mi) with 15 left and 15 right turns while the vehicle location icon is matched to roads on the displayed map. Do not replace the radio for this condition. Disclaimer Page 12753 monitor the Tech2(R) for the current time and date.

Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip.

REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 6622 Disclaimer Connector Views Fuse Block: Connector Views Fuse Block - Rear C1 Fuse Block - Rear C1 Part 1 Page 1074 Steps 30 - 40 Page 3169 1.

This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.

Significant additional mass can affect trim height and wheel alignment of the vehicle and may necessitate a customer pay wheel alignment when placed semi-permanently in the vehicle (Upfitter instructions are to realign the vehicle after placement of these types of items. (This typically applies to trucks and incomplete vehicles that can be upfit with equipment such as the above.) Customer Concerns, "Normal Operation" Conditions and "Mileage Policy" Possible Concerns The following are typical conditions that may require wheel alignment warranty service: 1. Lead/Pull: defined as "at a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, the amount of effort required at the steering wheel to maintain the vehicle's straight heading." Important Please evaluate for the condition with hands-on the steering wheel. Follow the "Vehicle Leads/Pulls" diagnostic tree located in SI to determine the cause of a lead/pull concern. Lead/Pull concerns can be due to road crown or road slope, tires, wheel alignment or even in rare circumstances a steering gear issue. Lead/pull concerns due to road crown are considered "Normal Operation" and are NOT a warrantable condition -- the customer should be advised that this is "Normal Operation." Important Some customers may comment on a "Lead/Pull" when they hold the steering wheel in a level condition. If so, this is more likely a "steering wheel angle" concern because the customer is "steering" the vehicle to obtain a "level" steering wheel. 2. Steering wheel angle to the left or right (counter-clockwise or clockwise, respectively): Defined as the steering wheel angle (clocking) deviation from "level" while maintaining a straight heading on a typical straight road. 3. Irregular or Premature tire wear: Slight to very slight "feathering" or "edge" wear on the shoulders of tires is NOT considered unusual and should even out with a tire rotation; if the customer is concerned about a "feathering" condition of the tires, the customer could be advised to rotate the tires earlier than the next scheduled mileage/maintenance interval (but no later than the next interval). Be sure to understand the customer's driving habits as this will also heavily influence the tire wear performance; tire wear from aggressive or abusive driving habits is NOT a warrantable condition. Important Slight or mild feathering, cupping, edge or heel/toe wear of tire tread shoulders is "normal" and can show up very early in a tire/vehicle service mileage; in fact, some new tires can show evidence of feathering from the factory. These issues do NOT affect the overall performance and tread life of the tire. Dealer personnel should always check the customer's maintenance records to ensure that tire inflation pressure is being maintained to placard and that the tires are being rotated (modified-X pattern) at the proper mileage intervals. Wheel alignments are NOT to be performed for the types of "Normal" Tire Feathering shown in Figures 1-4 below. Page 4496 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 13788 1. Position the hood hinge to the alignment marks on the vehicle. Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. 2.

This coolant is orange in color and has a service interval of 5 years or 240,000 km (150,000 mi). However, when used on vehicles built prior to the introduction of DEX-COOL(R), maintenance intervals will remain the same as specified in the Owner's Manual. ^ If available, use the approved cooling system flush and fill machine (available through the GM Dealer Equipment Program) following the manufacturer's operating instructions. ^ If approved cooling system flush and fill machine is not available, drain the coolant and dispose of properly following the draining procedures in the appropriate Service Manual. Refill the system using clear, drinkable water and run the vehicle until the thermostat opens. Repeat and run the vehicle three (3) times to totally remove the old coolant or until the drained coolant is almost clear. Once the system is completely flushed, refill the cooling system to a 50%-60% concentration with DEX‐COOL(R), P/N 12346290 (in Canada, use P/N 10953464), GM specification 6277M, following the refill procedures in the appropriate Service Manual. If a Service Manual is not available, fill half the capacity of the system with 100% DEX-COOL(R), P/N 12346290 (in Canada, use P/N 10953464), GM specification 6277M. Then slowly add clear, drinkable water (preferably distilled) to the system until the level of the coolant mixture has reached the base of the radiator neck. Wait two (2) minutes and reverify the coolant level. If necessary, add clean water to restore the coolant to the appropriate level. Once the system is refilled, reverify the coolant concentration using a Refractometer J 23688 (Fahrenheit scale) or J 26568 (centigrade scale) coolant tester, or equivalent. The concentration levels should be between 50% and 65%. Flushing Procedures using Conventional Silicated (Green Colored) Coolant Important: 2004-2005 Chevrolet Aveo (Pontiac Wave, Canada Only) does not use DEX‐COOL(R). The Aveo and Wave are filled with conventional, silicated engine coolant that is blue in color. Silicated coolants are typically green in color and are required to be drained, flushed and refilled every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The Aveo and Wave are to be serviced with conventional, silicated coolant. Use P/N 12378560 (1 gal) (in Canada, use P/N 88862159 (1 L). Refer to the Owner's Manual or Service Information (SI) for further information on OEM coolant. Important: Do not mix the OEM orange colored DEX-COOL(R) coolant with green colored coolant when adding coolant to the system or when servicing the vehicle's cooling system. Mixing the orange and green colored coolants will produce a brown coolant which may be a customer dissatisfier and will not extend the service interval to that of DEX-COOL(R). Conventional silicated coolants offered by GM Service and Parts Operations are green in color. ^ If available, use the approved cooling system flush and fill machine (available through the GM Dealer Equipment Program) following the manufacturer's operating instructions. ^ If approved cooling systems flush and fill machine is not available, drain coolant and dispose of properly following the draining procedures in appropriate Service Manual. Refill the system using clear, drinkable water and run vehicle until thermostat opens. Repeat and run vehicle three (3) times to totally remove old coolant or until drained coolant is almost clear. Once the system is completely flushed, refill the cooling system to a 50%-60% concentration with a good quality ethylene glycol base engine coolant, P/N 12378560, 1 gal (in Canada, use P/N 88862159 1 L), conforming to GM specification 1825M, or recycled coolant conforming to GM specification 1825M, following the refill procedures in the appropriate Service Manual. If a Service Manual is not available, fill half the capacity of the system with 100% good quality ethylene glycol base (green colored) engine coolant, P/N 12378560 1 gal., (in Canada, use P/N 88862159 1 L) conforming to GM specification 1825M. Then slowly add clear, drinkable water (preferably distilled) to system until the level of the coolant mixture has reached the base of the radiator neck. Wait two (2) minutes and recheck coolant level. If necessary, add clean water to restore coolant to the appropriate level. Once the system is refilled, recheck the coolant concentration using a Refractometer J 23688 (Fahrenheit scale) or J 26568 (centigrade scale) coolant tester, or equivalent. Concentration levels should be between 50% and 65%. Parts Information Warranty Information Page 6639 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1.

Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 10749 17. Inspect that the 3 wire connection is secure. 18. Bend flat the twisted connection. 19. Secure and insulate the 3 wire connection to deployment harness using electrical tape. 20.

Disconnect the driver/left seat belt pretensioner yellow connector (1) from the vehicle wiring harness located under the rear of driver seat. 23. Cut the harness connector out of the vehicle, leaving at least 16 cm (6 in) of wire at the connector. 24. Strip 13 mm (0.5 in) of insulation from each of the connector wire leads. Page 13721 2. Allow the latch to completely thaw and apply compressed air for two seconds to the latch to force out any moisture. Refer to the above illustration (slashed area) for the location. Spray GM Super Lube(R) on BOTH sides of the latch detent lever for approximately two to three seconds. Refer to the above illustration (slashed area) for the lube location. Repeat for all door latches. Operate the door latch several times to spread the lubricant on all surfaces. Parts Information Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Disclaimer Page 1667 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 13296 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 1930 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Wheels - Chrome Wheel Brake Dust Accumulation/Pitting Wheels: All Technical Service Bulletins Wheels - Chrome Wheel Brake Dust Accumulation/Pitting Bulletin No.: 04-03-10-012B Date: February 01, 2008 INFORMATION Subject: Pitting and Brake Dust on Chrome wheels Models: 2008 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (including Saturn) 2008 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2005-2008 Saab 9-7X Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-03-10-012A (Section 03 - Suspension). Analysis of Returned Wheels Chrome wheels returned under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for pitting concerns have recently been evaluated. This condition is usually most severe in the vent (or window) area of the front wheels. This "pitting" may actually be brake dust that has been allowed to accumulate on the wheel. The longer this accumulation builds up, the more difficult it is to remove. Cleaning the Wheels In all cases, the returned wheels could be cleaned to their original condition using GM Vehicle Care Cleaner Wax, P/N 12377966 (in Canada, P/N 10952905). When using this product, you should confine your treatment to the areas of the wheel that show evidence of the brake dust build-up. This product is only for use on chromed steel or chromed aluminum wheels. Parts Information Warranty Information Wheel replacement for this condition is NOT applicable under the terms of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Disclaimer Page 2196 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 4587 Conversion - English/Metric Part 1 Page 4123 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Diagram Information and Instructions Accessory Delay Module: Diagram Information and Instructions Passenger Car Zoning PASSENGER CAR ZONING All grounds, in-line connectors, pass-through grommets, and splices have identifying numbers that correspond to where they are located in the vehicle. The table explains the numbering system. Electrical Symbols Page 7131 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 10410 Page 8127 Page 645 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 11866 DVD Player C3 (With RPO Code U32) Page 944 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2.

Installation Procedure Page 7268 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 1728 Page 4782 Page 11201 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 8994 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown. Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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 Page 11822 10.4.

Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 10717 2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 3. Remove the key from the ignition switch. 4. Locate the body control module (BCM) fuse center then remove fuse center cover. 5. Locate and remove the AIR BAG (IGN) and AIR BAG (BATT) fuses from the BCM fuse center. IMPORTANT: This inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) has two fused power inputs. To ensure there is no unwanted SIR deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs, remove both AIR BAG (IGN) and AIR BAG (BATT) fuses from the BCM fuse center. With the AIR BAG fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate an SIR system malfunction. 6. Remove the garnish molding from the right upper lock pillar. 7. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) from the roof rail module-right connector. 8. Disconnect the roof rail module-right connector from the vehicle harness connector. Page 13273 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 6405 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 10425 3. Use a small flat-bladed tool to gently pry off the dress cover by inserting the tool under the cover opposite the harness side and prying up. 4. Remove the cover. 5. Using a small flat-bladed tool, push on the side of the nose piece retainer while pushing the nose piece forward with your thumb. This will release the terminal position assurance (TPA). 6. Insert the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) into the corresponding terminal release cavity. The release cavities are the 2 center rows of cavities on one half of the connector. Page 12260 Page 4573 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 2080 Page 4357 Page 8430 Locations Right Of Steering Column Page 249 2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules. Part 1 OnStar(R) Description and Operation This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components: ^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) ^ OnStar(R) button assembly ^ Microphone ^ Cellular antenna ^ Navigation antenna Note This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system. Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging. Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the serial data bus. The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R) system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand. The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request. OnStar(R) Button Assembly The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit. The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as follows: ^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer and end calls or initiate speech recognition. ^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to connect to the OnStar(R) call center. ^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed. The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit. When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed. The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will flash red during the call. If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the account status. Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly. Page 6527 5.

Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005 Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued September 2008. Condition In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On Star(R) is unable to continue analog service. OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However, since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call, the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained. Special Policy Adjustment At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service will be made at no charge to the customer. This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles. Vehicles Involved Page 5327 Page 12227 Check - Vehicle. The Diagnostic System Check will provide the following information: ^ The identification of the control modules which command the system ^ The ability of the control modules to communicate through the serial data circuit ^ The identification of any stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their status The use of the Diagnostic System Check will identify the correct procedure for diagnosing the system and where the procedure is located. Visual/Physical Inspection Perform the following visual inspections; ^ Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of the Radio/Audio System. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories in SI. ^ Inspect the easily accessible and visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom. Intermittent Conditions Faulty electrical connections or wiring may be the cause of intermittent conditions.

If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 5200 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown. Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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 Page 7509 7. Pressing the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) tool in the release cavity of the terminal you are removing, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used. TERMINAL REPAIR PROCEDURE Use the appropriate terminal and crimper in the J-38125 in order to replace the terminal. Weather Pack Connectors WEATHER PACK CONNECTORS The following is the proper procedure for the repair of Weather Pack(R) Connectors. 1. Separate the connector halves (1). 2. Open the secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the connector (1). 3. Grasp the wire and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the wire in this position. 4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder (1). 5. Gently pull on the wire to remove the terminal through the back of the connector (2). IMPORTANT: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector. 6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary. 7. Reform the lock tang (2) and reset terminal in connector body. 8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves. 9. Verify that circuit is complete and working satisfactorily. 10. Perform system check. Page 5459 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 1117 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 5774 Disclaimer Page 11952 To erase programmed channels, hold down the 2 outside buttons until the light on the GDO transmitter begins to flash.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3. Use the proper pick or removal tool (1) in order to release the terminal. Page 5708 3. Use a small flat-bladed tool to gently pry off the dress cover by inserting the tool under the cover opposite the harness side and prying up. 4. Remove the cover. 5. Using a small flat-bladed tool, push on the side of the nose piece retainer while pushing the nose piece forward with your thumb. This will release the terminal position assurance (TPA). 6. Insert the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) into the corresponding terminal release cavity. The release cavities are the 2 center rows of cavities on one half of the connector. Page 8982 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 6293 Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Page 31 2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece. The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such. 3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover removal procedures may vary. 6.

If I am an authorized user for the KeyCode application, can I access the application from home? Yes. What if I suspect key code misuse? Your dealership should communicate the proper procedures for requesting key codes. Any suspicious activity either within the dealership or externally should be reported to Dealer Systems Support at 1-800-265-0573 or GM of Canada Key Code Inquiry Desk at 1-905-644-4892. Whose key codes can I access through the system? At this time the following Canadian vehicle codes are available through the system: Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac, GMC, HUMMER (H2 and H3 only), Oldsmobile, Saturn, Saab and Isuzu (up to 2002 model year) for a maximum of 17 model years. What should I do if I enter a valid VIN and the system does not produce any key code information? Occasionally, the KeyCode Look Up application may not produce a key code for a valid VIN. This may be the result of new vehicle information not yet available. In addition, older vehicle information may have been sent to an archive status. If you do not receive a key code returned for valid VIN, you should contact GM of Canada Key Code Inquiry Desk at 1-905-644-4892. How do I access KeyCodes if the KeyCode Look-up system is down? If the KeyCode Look-up system is temporarily unavailable, you can contact the original selling dealer who may have it on file or contact GM of Canada Key Code Inquiry Desk at 1-905-644-4892. If the customer is dealing with an emergency lock-out situation, you need to have the customer contact Roadside assistance, OnStar if subscribed, or 911. What should I do if the KeyCode from the look-up system does not work on the vehicle? On occasion a dealer may encounter a KeyCode that will not work on the vehicle in question. In cases where the KeyCode won't work you will need to verify with the manufacturer of the cutting equipment that the key has been cut correctly. If the key has been cut correctly you may be able to verify the proper KeyCode was given through the original selling dealer. When unable to verify the KeyCode through the original selling dealer contact GM of Canada Key Code Inquiry Desk at 1-905-644-4892. If the key has been cut correctly and the code given does not work, the lock cylinder may have been changed. In these situations following the proper SI document for recoding a key or replacing the lock cylinder may be necessary. How long do I have to keep KeyCode Records? Dealership KeyCode documentation must be retained for two years. Can I get a KeyCode changed in the Look-Up system? Yes, KeyCodes can be changed in the Look-Up system if a lock cylinder has been changed. Contact GM of Canada Key Code Inquiry Desk at 1-905-644-4892. What information do I need before I can provide a driver of a company fleet vehicle Keys or KeyCode information?

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

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-49-016A (Section 08 - Body & Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment that the backlighting on the IPC does not illuminate in the daylight hours with headlamps manually turned on. They may further state that the backlighting does function at night, but not in the day time. Cause On these vehicles, backlighting for the IPC is not enabled unless the vehicle's lighting photocell determines that there is a nighttime ambient condition. Backlighting is not controlled through the use of the park lamp or headlamp switch. The conditions under which the photocell activates the backlighting may not satisfy each particular customer's personal expectations, or the customer may simply prefer to have the backlighting always illuminated on the IPC when headlamps are manually turned on. Correction Module reprogramming must be done using the Pass-Thru method. Select "Instrument Panel (Backlight Dimming Fix ONLY)" from the Supported Controllers list. For customers who wish to have the IPC backlighting illuminated, a new service calibration is now available that will activate the backlighting to full intensity during daytime hours with headlamps manually turned on. Reprogram the BCM using SPS. The new calibrations are currently available on TIS2WEB.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-02-32-001B (Section 02 - Steering). Condition Some customers may comment on increased steering effort for a few seconds just after starting the vehicle. This condition occurs when the outside temperatures are under 10°F (-12°C). This condition is short in duration and does not set a code. In many instances, it will not be possible to duplicate the customer's concern unless temperatures are below 10°F (-12°C). Cause This condition may be caused by additional resistance in the lower control arm ball stud when cold. Correction To aid in installation of the lower control arms, loosely start all bolts to hold the assembly in place and then tighten to the correct torque specification. On the right side of the vehicle, it is necessary to remove the wheel well splash shield and the engine splash shield. REPLACE BOTH FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER CONTROL ARMS.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-007B (Section 08 - Body & Accessories). If the vehicle currently has analog-upgradable OnStar(R) hardware, then the customer should be made aware of the digital upgrade program per the latest version of Service Bulletin # 05-08-46-006. Any analog OnStar system that is not upgraded prior to the end of 2007 will be deactivated due to the upcoming phase-out of the analog cellular network in the U.S. and Canada. If the vehicle has recently been upgraded or has had a service replacement unit installed, this bulletin may not be applicable. Certain 2001-2008 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) may exhibit a condition with the Global Positioning System (GPS) that causes inaccuracies in the GPS clock. The GPS system is internal to the OnStar(R) Vehicle Interface Unit (VIU) or the Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM). This inaccuracy can result in a symptom where the OnStar(R) Call Center is unable to obtain an accurate GPS signal, hands-Free Calling minutes expire prematurely and/or the inability to add Hands-Free calling minutes. Customer Notification OnStar(R) will notify the customer by mail with instructions to contact their dealership service department. Dealer Action Not all vehicles will require VIU/VCIM replacement. The GPS signal in some vehicles may be recoverable. To determine if the signal is recoverable, simply connect the Tech2(R) and using the GPS information data display option, observe the GPS date and time. If the date/time stamps are equal to a date approximately 19 years in the future, the GPS clock has exceeded its capacity and the VIU/VCIM will need to be replaced. If the date/time stamp is in the past or near future, the GPS clock has simply generated an inaccurate value and may be recoverable by performing the following power-up reset. To initiate a power-up reset, battery voltage (batt. +) must be removed from the VIU/VCIM. The preferred methods, in order, of initiating the reset are outlined below. Remove the fuse that supplies Battery positive (Batt. +) voltage to the module (refer to the applicable Service Information schematics for the appropriate fuse). The next preferred method is to remove the connector to the OnStar(R) unit that Batt + is contained. The least preferable method is to remove the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. This will not only initiate the power-up reset, but it may also result in the loss of radio presets and other stored personalization information/settings in other modules as well. After initiating the power-up reset, the GPS data will be set to the defaulted date and time and will require an acquisition of the GPS signal in order to gain the proper date and time. Acquiring the GPS signal requires running the vehicle in an open/unobstructed view of the sky. First, contact OnStar(R) Technical Support by pressing the blue button. Allow the OnStar(R) Technical Advisor to activate the GPS recovery process. This should take approximately 10 minutes. Continue to Page 12434 Parts Information Page 1807 mixture.

Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 13325 Page 7502 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM 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.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Locations Ambient Light Sensor: Locations Instrument Panel Page 6822 Page 4792 4.

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

Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Procedures Seat Heater Switch: Procedures HEATED SEAT SWITCH REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-07-30-035A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). Water or ethylene glycol in automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is harmful to internal transmission components and will have a negative effect on reliability and durability of these parts. Water or ethylene glycol in ATF will also change the friction of the clutches, frequently resulting in shudder during engagement or gear changes, especially during torque converter clutch engagement. Indications of water in the ATF may include: - ATF blowing out of the transmission vent tube. - ATF may appear cloudy or, in cases of extreme contamination, have the appearance of a strawberry milkshake. - Visible water in the oil pan. - A milky white substance inside the pan area. - Spacer plate gaskets that appear to be glued to the valve body face or case. - Spacer plate gaskets that appear to be swollen or wrinkled in areas where they are not compressed. - Rust on internal transmission iron/steel components. If water in the ATF has been found and the source of the water entry has not been identified, or if a leaking in-radiator transmission oil cooler is suspected (with no evidence of cross-contamination in the coolant recovery reservoir), a simple and quick test kit is available that detects the presence of ethylene glycol in ATF. The "Gly-Tek" test kit, available from the Nelco Company, should be obtained and the ATF tested to make an accurate decision on the need for radiator replacement. This can help to prevent customer comebacks if the in-radiator transmission oil cooler is leaking and reduce repair expenses by avoiding radiator replacement if the cooler is not leaking. These test kits can be obtained from: Nelco Company Test kits can be ordered by phone or through the website listed above. Orders are shipped standard delivery time but can be shipped on a next day delivery basis for an extra charge. One test kit will complete 10 individual fluid sample tests. For vehicles repaired under warranty, the cost of the complete test kit plus shipping charges should be divided by 10 and submitted on the warranty claim as a net item. The transmission should be repaired or replaced based on the normal cost comparison procedure. Important If water or coolant is found in the transmission, the following components MUST be replaced. - Replace all of the rubber-type seals. - Replace all of the composition-faced clutch plates and/or bands. - Replace all of the nylon parts. - Replace the torque converter. - Thoroughly clean and rebuild the transmission, using new gaskets and oil filter. Important The following steps must be completed when repairing or replacing. Flush and flow check the transmission oil cooler using J 45096. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 02-07-30-052F- Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Flush and Flow Test Essential Tool J 45096 TransFlow. - Thoroughly inspect the engine cooling system and hoses and clean/repair as necessary. Page 9834 9.

Locate and gain access to the OnStar® VIU. Refer to OnStar Vehicle Interface Unit Replacement in SI. Important: Complete removal of the VIU is usually not required. Perform only the steps required to gain access to the C2 32-way blue connector. Residing in the C2 connector are the battery positive (+) circuits. Removal of the C2 connector will deactivate the unit and eliminate the possibility of an inadvertent OnStar(R) or emergency/airbag call. Page 7018 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 1036 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 12986 DTC B2476 04: Cellular Phone Select Service Switch Open Circuit DTC B2476 59: Cellular Phone Select Service Switch Stuck Button DTC B2482 00: Cellular Phone Select Service Switch Range/Performance Circuit Short to Ground Open / High Resistance Short to Voltage Signal Performance Circuit/System Description The OnStar(R) button assembly consists of 3 buttons, Call/Answer, OnStar(R) Call Center, and OnStar(R) Emergency. The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) supplies the OnStar(R) button assembly with 10 volts via the keypad supply voltage circuit. Each of the buttons, when pressed, completes the circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM over the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned, the VCIM is able to identify which button has been activated. Conditions for Running the DTCs The ignition is ON. System voltage is between 9 - 16 volts. Conditions for Setting the DTCs B2476 04: The VCIM detects an open/high resistance on the keypad supply voltage circuit. B2482 and B2476 59: The VCIM detects a valid signal on the keypad signal circuit for more than 15 seconds. If one of the OnStar(R) buttons is held or stuck for 15 seconds or more, the VCIM will set these DTCs. Action Taken When the DTCs Set The OnStar(R) status LED turns red. No calls can be placed. The VCIM will ignore all inputs from the OnStar® button assembly. Conditions for Clearing the DTCs The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. Page 14032 4. Remove the upper trim plate. 5. Remove the lower trim plate. Installation Procedure 1.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 9828 DISABLING PROCEDURE 1.

NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 9407 Auxiliary Power Outlet - Front (Without RPO Code NW7,NW9) Electrical - Aftermarket Fuse Warning Fuse: Technical Service Bulletins Electrical - Aftermarket Fuse Warning Bulletin No.: 07-08-45-002 Date: September 05, 2007 ADVANCED SERVICE INFORMATION Subject: Service Alert: Concerns With Aftermarket Fuses in GM Vehicles Models: 2008 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2008 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2008 and Prior Saab 9-7X Concerns with Harbor Freight Tools "Storehouse" Branded Blade Type Fuses General Motors has become aware of a fuse recall by Harbor Freight Tools/Storehouse for a variety of aftermarket fuses. In two cases, these fuses have not provided protection for the wiring system of the vehicles they were customer installed in. Upon testing the 15 amp version, it was found that the fuse still would not "open" when shorted directly across the battery terminals. How to Identify These Fuses Packed in a 120 piece set, the fuse has a translucent, hard plastic, blue body with the amperage stamped into the top. There are no white painted numbers on the fuse to indicate amperage. There are no identifying marks on the fuse to tell who is making it. The fuses are known to be distributed by Harbor Freight Tools but there may be other marketers, and packaging of this style of fuse. It would be prudent to replace these fuses if found in a customers vehicle. Likewise, if wiring overheating is found you should check the fuse panel for the presence of this style of fuse. All GM dealers should use genuine GM fuses on the vehicles they service. You should also encourage the use of GM fuses to your customers to assure they are getting the required electrical system protection. GM has no knowledge of any concerns with other aftermarket fuses. If additional information becomes available, this bulletin will be updated. Disclaimer Page 8624 6. Remove the upper control arm bolt and wheel speed sensor connector if equipped with ABS and position the upper control arm away from the brake hose to wheel cylinder connection. 7. Remove the brake hose banjo bolt and the 2 copper gaskets. Cap the exposed brake hose in order to prevent contamination of the brake system. 8. Remove the wheel cylinder mounting bolts from the wheel cylinder. Page 5890 Body Control Module: Description and Operation Data Link Communications DATA LINK COMMUNICATIONS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The communication among control modules is performed through the GMLAN high speed serial data circuit and the GMLAN low speed serial data circuit. The modules that need real time communication are attached to the high speed GMLAN network. The body control module (BCM) is the gateway between the networks. The purpose of the gateway is to translate serial data messages between the GMLAN high speed buss and the GMLAN low speed buss. The gateway will interact with each network according to that network's transmission protocol. Refer to Body Control System Description and Operation for more information about the gateway. The 2.2L (L61) powertrain control module (PCM) on this vehicle, uses a class 2 serial data buss. The class 2 buss is only used for diagnostics and the service programming system (SPS). During normal vehicle operations, there is no communications over the class 2 serial data buss. Normal vehicle operational messaging for the PCM is sent over the PCMs GMLAN high speed serial data buss. The 3.5L (LX9) PCM does not use a class 2 serial data circuit. GMLAN HIGH SPEED CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the high speed GMLAN serial data circuit. The serial data is transmitted on two twisted wires that allow speed up to 500 Kb/s. The twisted pair is terminated with two 120 ohms resistors, one is internal to the powertrain control module (PCM) or engine control module (ECM) depending on regular production option (RPO) and the other is internal to the body control module (BCM). The BCM is considered the DLC termination point of the link and the engine management controller is the other end of the link. The resistors are used to reduce noise on 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. The idle level, which is approximately 2.5 volts, is considered recessive transmitted data and is interpreted as a logic 1. Driving the lines to their extremes, adds one volt to the high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) and subtracts one volt from the high speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) wire. This dominant state is interpreted as a logic 0. GMLAN network management supports selective start up and is based on virtual networks. A virtual network is a collection of signals started in response to a vehicle event. The starting of a virtual network signifies that a particular aspect of the vehicles functionality has been requested. A virtual network is supported by virtual devices, which represents a collection of signals owned by a single physical device. So, any physical device can have one or more virtual devices. The signal supervision is the process of determining whether an expected signal is being received or not. Fail softing is the ability to substitute a signal with a default value or a default algorithm, in the absence of a valid signal. Some messages are also interpreted as a heartbeat of a virtual device. If such a signal is lost, the application will set a no communication code against the respective virtual device. This code is mapped on the Tech 2 screen as a code against the physical device. NOTE: a loss of serial data DTC does not represent a failure of the module that the code is set in. GMLAN LOW SPEED CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit. The serial data is transmitted over a single wire to the appropriate control modules. 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. This protocol produces a simple pules train sent out over the GMLAN low speed serial data bus. When a module pulls the buss high, 5 volts, this creates a dominant logic state or 0 on the buss. When the buss is pulled low 0 volts, it is translated as a recessive logic state or 1. To wake the control modules connected to the GMLAN low speed serial data buss, a high voltage wake up pulse is sent out over the buss, the voltage level of the pules is +10 volts. Modules connected to the GMLAN low speed buss can be part of a virtual network as described in the previous paragraph. The modules on the GMLAN low speed serial data buss are connected to the buss in a parallel configuration. CLASS 2 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the class 2 serial data circuit. Class 2 serial data is transmitted on a single wire at an average of 10.4 Kbps. The bus is active at 7 volts nominal and inactive at ground potential. When the ignition switch is in RUN, and a scan tool is connected to the DLC, the 2.5L (L61) powertrain control module (PCM) will start communicating diagnostic information over the class 2 serial data circuit. The 3.5L (LX9) PCM does not use a class 2 serial data circuit. 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 GMLAN low speed communications terminal - Pin 2 Class 2 signal terminal 2.5L (L61) - Pin 4 Scan tool power ground terminal - Pin 5 Common signal ground terminal - Pin 6 High speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) terminal - Pin 14 High speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) terminal - Pin 16 Scan tool power, battery positive voltage terminal CLASS 2 SERIAL DATA USAGE The class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle is only used for the 2.2L (L61) powertrain control module (PCM) diagnostics and PCM service programming system (SPS) programming. The 3.5L (LX9) PCM does not use a class 2 serial data circuit. Page 5836 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 5609 7. Pressing the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) tool in the release cavity of the terminal you are removing, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used. TERMINAL REPAIR PROCEDURE Use the appropriate terminal and crimper in the J-38125 in order to replace the terminal. Weather Pack Connectors WEATHER PACK CONNECTORS The following is the proper procedure for the repair of Weather Pack(R) Connectors. 1. Separate the connector halves (1). 2. Open the secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the connector (1). 3. Grasp the wire and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the wire in this position. 4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder (1). 5. Gently pull on the wire to remove the terminal through the back of the connector (2). IMPORTANT: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector. 6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary. 7. Reform the lock tang (2) and reset terminal in connector body. 8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves. 9. Verify that circuit is complete and working satisfactorily. 10. Perform system check. Page 5869 Page 104 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 3976 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 6691 Page 4630 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Body - TPO Fascia Cleaning Prior to Painting Front Bumper Cover / Fascia: Technical Service Bulletins Body - TPO Fascia Cleaning Prior to Painting INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 08-08-51-002 Date: March 12, 2008 Subject: New Primer For TPO Fascias and Affected Cleaning Process of Painting Operation Models: 2009 and Prior Passenger Cars and Trucks 2009 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 The purpose of this bulletin is to inform the technician that General Motors has made a change in the primer it uses for TPO plastic for service parts.

The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 13279 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3.

Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005 Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued September 2008. Condition In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On Star(R) is unable to continue analog service. OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However, since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call, the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained. Special Policy Adjustment At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service will be made at no charge to the customer. This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles. Vehicles Involved Page 7426 3.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 1683 Page 9354 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 13568 The latch and its backing plate have been removed on the above illustration to show the location for the lube. 2.

Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2. Place the ignition switch to the OFF position. 3. Remove the key from the ignition switch. 4. Locate the body control module (BCM) fuse center then remove fuse center cover. 5. Locate and remove the AIR BAG (IGN) and AIR BAG (BATT) fuses from the BCM fuse center. IMPORTANT: This inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) has two fused power inputs. To ensure there is no unwanted SIR deployment, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs, remove both AIR BAG (IGN) and AIR BAG (BATT) fuses from the BCM fuse center. With the AIR BAG fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate an SIR system malfunction. 6. Open front hood and locate the front end sensor (1), also known as the electronic front sensor (EFS). 7. Remove both connector position assurance (CPA) from the right and left front end sensor connector. 8. Remove both front end sensors connector from the front end sensor (1). ENABLING PROCEDURE Page 4738 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 1496 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Customer initiated Blue Button call, Emergency calls, and Automatic Crash Notification calls will also fail to establish a data connection with the OnStar(R) Call Center. Eventually, the customer's call will connect as a voice only line and the customer will be able to talk with an OnStar(R) advisor; however, the advisor will not get crucial customer data such as vehicle identification and location. Correction Dealers/retailers are to replace the OnStar(R) module (VCIM). Vehicles Involved Involved are certain 2002-2009 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R), and built within these VIN breakpoints: Note: Some model years/models have only one vehicle involved. Important Dealers/retailers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using GMVIS (dealers/retailers using WINS) or the Investigate Vehicle History link (dealers/retailers using GWM). Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be involved. For dealers/retailers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be provided to dealers/retailers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports. Dealers/retailers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles currently assigned. The listing may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any purpose other than follow-up necessary to complete this program is a violation of law in several states/provinces/countries. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this report to the follow-up necessary to complete this program.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 8660 Important: DO NOT reuse the copper brake hose gaskets. 6.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 1722 Page 8390 Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Service and Repair Transmission Fluid Pressure (TFP) Manual Valve Position Switch Replacement Removal Procedure 1.

Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 10244 10. Align the inscribed mark on the tire with the valve stem on the wheel. 11.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 5207 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.

Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip.

Abbreviations And Meanings ABBREVIATIONS AND MEANINGS A/C - Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Equipment Refrigerant: Technical Service Bulletins A/C - Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Equipment Bulletin No.: 08-01-38-001 Date: January 25, 2008 INFORMATION Subject: Information On New GE-48800 CoolTech Refrigerant Recovery/Recharge Equipment Models: 2008 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2008 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2005-2008 Saab 9-7X Attention: This bulletin is being issued to announce the release of GM approved Air Conditioning (A/C) Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging Equipment that meets the new Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J2788 Refrigerant Recovery Standards. The ACR2000 (J-43600) cannot be manufactured in its current state after December 2007 and will be superseded by GE-48800. The new J2788 standard does not require that GM Dealers replace their ACR2000 units. ACR2000's currently in use are very capable of servicing today's refrigerant systems when used correctly and can continue to be used. Details regarding the new SAE J2788 standard are outlined in GM Bulletin 07-01-38-004. Effective February 1 2008, new A/C Refrigerant Recovery/Recharging equipment (P/N GE-48800) will be released as a required replacement for the previously essential ACR2000 (J-43600). This equipment is SAE J2788 compliant and meets GM requirements for A/C Refrigerant System Repairs on all General Motors vehicles, including Hybrid systems with Polyolester (POE) refrigerant oil. This equipment will not be shipped as an essential tool to GM Dealerships. In addition, this equipment is Hybrid compliant and designed to prevent oil cross contamination when servicing Hybrid vehicles with Electric A/C Compressors that use POE refrigerant oil. The ACR2000 (J-43600) will need to be retrofitted with a J-43600-50 (Hose - ACR2000 Oil Flush Loop) to be able to perform Hybrid A/C service work. All Hybrid dealers will receive the J-43600-50, with installation instructions, as a component of the Hybrid essential tool package. Dealerships that do not sell Hybrids, but may need to service Hybrids, can obtain J-43600-50 from SPX Kent Moore. Refer to GM Bulletin 08-01-39-001 for the ACR2000 Hose Flush procedure. The High Voltage (HV) electric A/C compressor used on Two Mode Hybrid vehicles uses a Polyolester (POE) refrigerant oil instead of a Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) synthetic refrigerant oil. This is due to the better electrical resistance of the POE oil and its ability to provide HV isolation. Failure to flush the hoses before adding refrigerant to a Hybrid vehicle with an electric A/C compressor may result in an unacceptable amount of PAG oil entering the refrigerant system. It may cause a Battery Energy Control Module Hybrid Battery Voltage System Isolation Lost Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC P1AE7) to be set. Additionally, the A/C system warranty will be voided. Warranty Submission Requirements The Electronically Generated Repair Data (snapshot summary) and printer functions have been eliminated from the GE-48800. The VGA display and temperature probes were eliminated to reduce equipment costs. As a result, effective immediately the 18 digit "Snapshot/Charge Summary" code is no longer required for Air Conditioning (A/C) refrigerant system repairs that are submitted for warranty reimbursement. The charge summary data from before and after system repairs will continue to required, but documented on the repair order only. Both high and low pressures and the recovery and charge amounts should be noted during the repair and entered on the repair order. If using ACR2000 (J-43600), the "Snapshot/Charge Summary" printouts should continue to be attached to the shops copy of the repair order. The labor codes that are affected by this requirement are D3000 through D4500. Disclaimer Page 4891 Page 11699 Diagnostic Trouble Codes DTC U1000 and U1255 Circuit/System Description Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with it, the DTC will only be reported once. The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them: Page 9375 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip.

This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart.

Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they become necessary. Important: Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be transferred if one or more wheels are replaced. TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)). Important: ^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut. Notice: ^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps. These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals. On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in). For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order and use. Disclaimer Page 3240 Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Rumbling Drive Belt Rumbling Diagnosis Diagnostic Aids Vibration from the engine operating may cause a body component or another part of the vehicle to make rumbling noise. The drive belt may have a condition that can not be seen or felt. Sometimes replacing the drive belt may be the only repair for the symptom. If replacing the drive belt, completing the diagnostic table, and the noise is only heard when the drive belt is installed, there might be an accessory drive component with a failure. Varying the load on the different accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is causing the rumbling noise. Test Description The 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. Page 2160 Assistance for all GM fleet customers using GM STC products and services is provided on the Internet via www.gmcommontraining.com using the "Contact Us" button on the site and/or the GM Common Training Help Desk at 1-888-748-2687.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 4035 Body Control Module (BCM) C4 Part 1 Page 9984 Page 5277 Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Service and Repair ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 5039 - Inspect for evidence of improper arcing. Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3) terminals. An excessively wide electrode gap can prevent correct spark plug operation. - Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Insufficient torque can prevent correct spark plug operation. An over torqued spark plug, causes the insulator (2) to crack. - Inspect for signs of tracking that occurred near the insulator tip instead of the center electrode (4). - Inspect for a broken or worn side electrode (3). - Inspect for a broken, worn, or loose center electrode (4) by shaking the spark plug. A rattling sound indicates internal damage. - A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark intensity. - Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the gap. - Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4) If equipped. - Inspect for excessive fouling. - Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during installation. SPARK PLUG VISUAL INSPECTION - Normal operation-Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are normal combustion by-products from fuels with additives. - Carbon Fouled-Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions: Rich fuel mixtures Leaking fuel injectors - Excessive fuel pressure - Restricted air filter element - Incorrect combustion - Reduced ignition system voltage output Weak 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. Page 9593 15.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 2198 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3. Use the proper pick or removal tool (1) in order to release the terminal. Procedures Body Control Module: Procedures BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) PROGRAMMING/RPO CONFIGURATION A new body control module (BCM) must be programmed with the proper regular production option (RPO) configurations. The BCM stores the information regarding the vehicle options and if the BCM is not properly configured with the correct RPO codes the BCM will not control all of the features properly. The Tech 2 software will automatically prompt you with the various RPO's available for the vehicle. Ensure that the following conditions exist in order to prepare for BCM programming: 1. This entire procedure has been reviewed before starting 2. The battery is fully charged. 3. A CANdi module is installed between the vehicle and the scan tool. 4. The ignition switch is in the ON position. 5. The data link connector (DLC) is accessible. 6. All disconnected modules and devices are reconnected before programming. BCM Programming IMPORTANT: Use extreme care when verifying both the VIN and Odometer reading that is set in the service BCM. Once the VIN and Odometer are set in the replacement BCM it is impossible to change them, and if there is a mismatch, the part will be rendered useless. To setup a new replacement BCM select Vehicle Control Systems, then navigate to Computer/Integrating Systems, once in the Computer/Integrating Systems menu select Module Replacement/Setup and follow the instructions on the scan tool. After the setup procedure it is necessary to perform the Remote Start setup procedure and BPP Sensor Calibration procedure. Refer to the important's below for further information. If the BCM fails to accept the program, perform the following steps: Inspect all BCM connections. - Verify that the scan tool has the latest software version. Remote Start Calibration In order to setup the remote start feature a Techline Terminal using the Pass-Thru routine must be used. With the scan tool powered down, attach it to the vehicle then connect the Techline Terminal's RS-232 cable to the scan tool. Select Service Programming System from the Techline Terminal main screen. Select the Pass-Thru procedure from the Techline Terminal's menu selections and follow all on-screen directions. Ensure the correct programming procedure is selected based on the component being replaced or programmed. Configure the remote start feature to match the original RPO content on the vehicle. Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) in Programming and Setup for information on SPS. BPP Sensor Calibration IMPORTANT: If the body control module (BCM) or the brake apply sensing system (BAS) sensor is replaced, a brake pedal position (BPP) sensor calibration must be performed. Perform the BPP Sensor Calibration using a scan tool. Refer to Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration in Lighting Systems, for the BPP calibration procedure. Passkey 3 Programming Procedures IMPORTANT: If any module or device listed is replaced, programming of the module must be done prior to performing the Passkey 3 Programming procedure. Perform the Passkey 3 Programming Procedure if any of the following components have been replaced: The Pass-Key III plus keys - The theft deterrent module (TDM) - The powertrain control module (PCM)Refer to Programming Theft Deterrent System Components in Theft Deterrent for the proper procedure. IMPORTANT: After programming, perform the following to avoid future misdiagnosis: 1. Turn the ignition OFF for 10 seconds. 2. Connect the scan tool to the data link connector. 3. Turn the ignition ON with the engine OFF. 4. Use the scan tool in order to retrieve history DTCs from all modules. 5. Clear all history DTCs. Page 1601 Page 6428 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Locations Top of Engine Page 2154 Listed are Registered Trademarks ((R)) or Non-Registered Trademarks ((TM)) which may appear in this service data.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 9297 15. Carefully remove ANY corrosion or contamination that may be present on the electrical ground wire terminal. 16.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

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. Disclaimer Page 8319 7.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 6464 OnStar(R) - Generation 6 Service Procedures Technical Service Bulletin # 09-08-46-001 Date: 090409 OnStar(R) - Generation 6 Service Procedures INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 09-08-46-001 Date: April 09, 2009 Subject: Servicing Vehicles Upgraded to OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital‐Capable System (Follow Information Below) Models Attention: This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer personnel with information and the procedures to diagnose an upgraded OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system. Program Overview Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008. Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007 issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website. Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect. Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC). Page 8353 6. Install the tire and wheel assembly. 7. Lower the vehicle. Page 12550 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 12511 Steering Wheel Controls - Right (With RPO Code UK3) Diagram Information and Instructions Power Window Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions Passenger Car Zoning PASSENGER CAR ZONING All grounds, in-line connectors, pass-through grommets, and splices have identifying numbers that correspond to where they are located in the vehicle.

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.

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. †*We believe this source and their products to be reliable.

You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5.

Always install wheels to clean, dry wheel studs ONLY. Notice Lubricants left on the wheel studs or vertical mounting surfaces between the wheel and the rotor or drum may cause the wheel to work itself loose after the vehicle is driven. Always install wheels to clean, dry wheel studs and surfaces ONLY. Beginning with 2011 model year vehicles, put a light coating of grease, GM P/N 1051344 (in Canada, P/N 9930370), on the inner surface of the wheel pilot hole to prevent wheel seizure to the axle or bearing hub. Wheel Stud and Lug Nut Damage Always inspect the wheel studs and lug nuts for signs of damage from crossthreading or abuse. You should never have to force wheel nuts down the stud. Lug nuts that are damaged may not retain properly, yet give the impression of fully tightening. Always inspect and replace any component suspected of damage. Tip Always start wheel nuts by hand! Be certain that all wheel nut threads have been engaged BEFORE tightening the nut. Important If the vehicle has directional tread tires, verify the directional arrow on the outboard side of the tire is pointing in the direction of forward rotation. Wheel Nut Tightening and Torque Improper wheel nut tightening can lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. In order to avoid additional brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel nuts to the proper torque specification as shown for each vehicle in SI. Always observe the proper wheel nut tightening sequence as shown below in order to avoid trapping the wheel on the wheel stud threads or clamping the wheel slightly off center resulting in vibration. The Most Important Service You Provide While the above information is well known, and wheel removal so common, technicians run the risk of becoming complacent on this very important Page 140 Page 14101 2.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 6090 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 13122 IMPORTANT: Do not reuse the position sensor bolt.

A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 1079 Ignition Control Module (ICM) Page 2236 Page 5441 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs Page 8584 8. Remove the brake rotor. Installation Procedure Important: Whenever the brake rotor has been separated from the hub/axle flange, any rust or contaminants should be cleaned from the hub axle flange and the brake rotor mating surfaces. Failure to do this may result in excessive assembled lateral runout (LRO) of the brake rotor. which could fetid to brake pulsation. 1. Using the J 42450-A thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface of the hub/axle flange. 2. Using the J 41013, 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. Install the brake rotor to the hub/axle flange.. Use the matchmark made prior to removal for proper orientation to the flange. 5. If the brake rotor was removed and installed as part of a brake system repair, measure the assembled lateral runout (LRO) of the brake rotor to ensure optimum performance of the disc brakes. 6. If the brake rotor assembled LRO measurement exceeds the specification, bring the LRO to within specifications. 7.

The CKP sensor produces an AC voltage of different amplitude and frequency. The frequency depends on the velocity of the crankshaft. The AC voltage output depends on the crankshaft position and the battery voltage. The CKP sensor works in conjunction with a 7X reluctor wheel attached to the crankshaft. The CKP sensor produces 7 pulses for each revolution of the crankshaft. The pulse from the 10-degree notch is known as the sync pulse. The sync pulse is used to synchronize the coil firing sequence with the crankshaft position. The CKP sensor is used for ignition timing, the fuel injector timing, misfire diagnostics and tachometer display. The CKP sensor is connected to the ECM by a signal circuit and a low reference circuit. Adjustments Front Door Striker: Adjustments Lock Striker Adjustment - Door Tools Required J 39346Mini-Wedge Door Striker Aligner Important: The door must be properly aligned before adjusting the striker. 1.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 1783 Page 7365 Page 7068 Page 9942 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 1903 3.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 4628 Page 2883 1.

A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored any time the control module illuminates the MIL due to an emissions related fault. The MIL turns OFF after three consecutive ignition cycles in which a Test Passed has been reported for the diagnostic test that originally caused the MIL to illuminate. - The MIL flashes if the control module detects a misfire condition which could damage the catalytic converter. - When the MIL is illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will remain illuminated as long as the ignition is ON. - When the MIL is not illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition is cycled OFF and then ON. TRIP A trip is an interval of time during which the diagnostic test runs. A trip may consist of only a key cycle to power up the powertrain control module (PCM), allow the diagnostic to run, then cycle the key off to power down the PCM. A trip may also involve a PCM power up, meeting specific conditions to run the diagnostic test, then powering down the PCM. The definition of a trip depends upon the diagnostic. Some diagnostic tests run only once per trip (i.e., catalyst monitor) while other tests run continuously during each trip (i.e., misfire). WARM-UP CYCLE The powertrain control module (PCM) uses warm-up cycles to run some diagnostics and to clear any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). A warm-up cycle occurs when the engine coolant temperature increases 22°C (40°F) from the start-up temperature. The engine coolant must also achieve a minimum temperature of 71°C (160°F). The PCM counts the number of warm-up cycles in order to clear the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). The PCM will clear the DTCs when 40 consecutive warm-up cycles occur without a malfunction. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) The powertrain control module (PCM) is programmed with test routines that test the operation of the various systems the PCM controls. Some tests monitor internal PCM functions. Many tests are run continuously. Other tests run only under specific conditions, referred to as Conditions for Running the DTC. When the vehicle is operating within the conditions for running a particular test, the PCM monitors certain parameters and determines if the values are within an expected range. The parameters and values considered outside the range of normal operation are listed as Conditions for Setting the DTC. When the Conditions for Setting the DTC occur, the PCM executes the Action Taken When the DTC Sets. Some DTCs alert the driver via the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) or a message. Other DTCs do not trigger a driver warning, but are stored in memory. The PCM also saves data and input parameters when most DTCs are set. This data is stored in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records. The DTCs are categorized by type. The DTC type is determined by the MIL operation and the manner in which the fault data is stored when a particular DTC fails. In some cases there may be exceptions to this structure. Therefore, when diagnosing the system it is important to read the Action Taken When the DTC Sets and the Conditions for Clearing the DTC in the supporting text. There are different types of DTCs and different actions taken when the DTCs set. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions for a description of the general characteristics of each DTC type. DTC STATUS When the scan tool displays a DTC, the status of the DTC is also displayed. The following DTC statuses are indicated only when they apply to the DTC that is set. Fail This Ign. (Fail This Ignition): Indicates that this DTC failed during the present ignition cycle. Last Test Fail: Indicates that this DTC failed the last time the test ran. MIL Request: Indicates that this DTC is currently requesting the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). This selection will report type B DTCs only when they have requested the MIL (failed twice). Test Fail SCC (Test Failed Since Code Clear): Indicates that this DTC that has reported a failure since the last time DTCs were cleared. History: Indicates that the DTC is stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) History memory. Type B DTCs will not appear in History until they have requested the MIL (failed twice). History will be displayed for all type A DTCs and type B DTCs (which have requested the MIL) that have failed within the last 40 warm-up cycles. Type C DTCs that have failed within the last 40 warm-up cycles will also appear in History. Not Run SCC (Not Run Since Code Clear): DTCs will be listed in this category if the diagnostic has not run since DTCs were last cleared. This status is not included with the DTC display since the DTC can not be set if the diagnostic has not run. This information is displayed when DTC Info is requested using the scan tool. Page 12088 High OR Low The above conditions are met for more than 3 seconds. Circuit/System Verification These DTCs cannot be retrieved with a current status. To diagnose use the Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with a Class 2 Device. Refer to SI. An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a short on the Class 2 serial data circuit. To diagnose use the Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with a Class 2 Device. Refer to SI.

This vehicle's PMM is the body control module (BCM). The PMM controls which power mode (Run, Accessory, Crank, Retained Accessory Power, or Off) is active. Serial Data Power Mode Master On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the power mode master (PMM). On this vehicle, the PMM is the body control module (BCM). The PMM receives 3 discrete ignition switch signals to differentiate which power mode will be sent over the Serial Data circuits. The 3-wire Ignition Switch table illustrates the state of these inputs in correspondence to the ignition switch position. Relay Controlled Power Mode The body control module (BCM) uses the discrete ignition switch inputs Off/Run/Crank, Accessory, and ignition 1, to distinguish the correct power mode. The ignition 1 circuit is also routed to the Run/Crank relay for relay controlled power feeds during the appropriate power mode. The BCM, after determining the desired power mode, will activate the appropriate relays for that power mode. Run/Crank Relay The run/crank relay control circuit is connected to a constant ground and is switched by the ignition 1 circuit or the BCM. The BCM, will in lieu of the ignition switch position, activate the Run/Crank relay during a remote start event. The Run/Crank relay supplies a power signal to the following circuits, when the a Run or Crank power mode is selected: Automatic transmission shift indicator - Automatic transmission (A/T) - Switched power feeds to the BCM - Electronic brake control module (EBCM) - Electronic ignition module (spark control) - Electronic power steering module (EPS) - Fuel injectors - Powertrain control module (PCM) - Park neutral position (PNP) switch Accessory (ACC) Relay The adaptive cruise control (ACC) relay is energized when the Run or accessory power mode has been selected. The relay uses a Hot At All Times B+ power source derived from the underhood electrical center. The ACC relay is also energized by the BCM to supply power during the retained accessory power (RAP) mode. The following devices are controlled by this relay: Inside rearview mirror - Heated seats - Power windows - Sunroof - Wiper washers switch Fail-Safe Operation Since the operation of the vehicle systems depends on the power mode, there is a fail-safe plan in place should the power mode master (PMM) fail to send a power mode message. The fail-safe plan covers those modules, using exclusively serial data control of power mode, as well as those modules with discrete ignition signal inputs. Serial Data Messages The modules that depend exclusively on serial data messages for power modes. stay in the state dictated by the last valid PMM message until they can check for the engine run flag status on the serial data circuits. If the PMM fails, the modules monitor the serial data circuit for the engine run flag Page 6343 4.

This bulletin applies to U.S. and Canadian dealers only and is not intended for use by export dealers. When a navigation radio warranty exchange is performed, the customer must have a navigation disc to operate the new radio. If the customer's navigation disc was damaged or is stuck in the failed radio, the customer would have to wait for an excessive period of time for the disc to be returned or replaced. The Electronic Service Centers (ESC) are not authorized to remove stuck navigation discs from cores, as the cores must be returned to the supplier for analysis prior to any disassembly. The time it would take for the supplier to return the navigation disc would significantly delay the completion of the repair at the dealership. If the customer's navigation disc is damaged or cannot be removed from the radio, the dealership is to obtain an exchange radio through an ESC and a new navigation disc through the GM Navigation Disc Center. Both items can be shipped overnight to the dealership upon request. GM Navigation Disc Center Contact Information Via the web through gmnavdisc.com The GM Navigation Disc Center is also the center of expertise for navigation system questions. Warranty Information Include the part number and cost of the new navigation disc on the warranty claim for the navigation radio exchange.

If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 13651 Disclaimer Page 8977 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 13767 3.

After changing the engine oil, reset the system by performing the following steps: 1. Display "OIL LIFE RESET" on the DIC. 2. Press and hold the "ENTER" button for at least one second. An "ACKNOWLEDGED" display message will appear for three seconds or until the next button is pressed. This will tell you the system has been reset. 3. Turn the key to "OFF". If the "Change Oil Soon" message comes back on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure. WHAT TO DO WITH USED OIL Used engine oil contains certain elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer. Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing or rags containing used engine oil. See the manufacturer's warnings about the use and disposal of oil products. Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil from the filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used oil. If you have a problem properly disposing of your used oil, ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling center for help. Page 3454 17.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question.

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. Page 7359 1.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 11097 Disclaimer Page 9018 English Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development ENGLISH PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Thread Inserts THREAD INSERTS General purpose thread repair kits.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 8561 TOOL INFORMATION CORRECTION PLATE PART INFORMATION Refer to TSB 01-05-23-001 for the Brake Align(R) application chart.

Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. SIR Disabling and Enabling Zones Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair SIR Disabling and Enabling Zones SIR DISABLING AND ENABLING ZONES IMPORTANT: Refer to SIR Service Precautions before disabling the SIR system.

Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging. Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the serial data bus. The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R) system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand. The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request. OnStar(R) Button Assembly The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit. The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as follows: ^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer and end calls or initiate speech recognition. ^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to connect to the OnStar(R) call center. ^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed. The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit. When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed. The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will flash red during the call. If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the account status. Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly. Page 2745 9. Remove the lower right center pillar trim. 10.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 9223 C405 Liftgate Harness to Body Harness (Extended Sedan) (With RPO Code C25) Page 2378 Power Window Switch: Connector Views Window Switch - Driver C1 Page 27 3.

While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 3545 coolant system integrity and will no longer be considered a 5 yr/150,000 mile (240,000 km) coolant.

Conventional (Green) Recycling Page 8897 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to the 3-digit identification number is set. Locations Wheel Speed Sensor: Locations ABS Component Views Wheel Speed Sensors Wheel Speed Sensors 1 - Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS) - LF 2 - Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS) - RF 3 - Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS) - RR 4 - Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS) - LR Page 1040 1.

Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 10452 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 9124 Fuse: Locations Fuse Block - Rear Location View Page 10212 Tires: Technical Service Bulletins Wheels/Tires - Use of Nitrogen Gas in Tires INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 05-03-10-020C Date: April 27, 2010 Subject: Use of Nitrogen Gas in Tires 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. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-020B (Section 03 - Suspension). 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 Page 5508 Page 5733 Page 5606 5.

In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 12433 Page 3607 5.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 13338 Body Control System Diagram 2 Page 4831 Page 3994 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Engine, A/T Controls - Shared Diagnostic Trouble Codes Control Module: Technical Service Bulletins Engine, A/T Controls - Shared Diagnostic Trouble Codes Bulletin No.: 05-06-04-060 Date: September 23, 2005 INFORMATION Subject: Powertrain Control Module (PCM), Engine Control Module (ECM), Transmission Control Module (TCM) Diagnostic Trouble Code(s) (DTC)(s) P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P1621 Shared In Multiple Modules Models: 2005-2006 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2005-2006 HUMMER H2 2006 HUMMER H3 2005-2006 Saab 9-7X Beginning in 2005, some control modules (ECM's, TCM's) have specific codes that describe internal failures of the module.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 1732 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 9776 products. Scott Lawson Director, Customer and Relationship Services Enclosure 10183 Page 1914 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 2292 Page 11498 - EXT LIGHTS - LANGUAGE - LIGHT FLASH - LOCK HORN - OIL-LIFE RESET - REMOTE START - SECURITY - UNITS - UNLOCK HORN OIL-LIFE RESET The powertrain control module (PCM) sends the oil life remaining percentage to the body control module (BCM) via a serial data message. The radio receives a serial data message from the BCM indicating the remaining oil life. The radio displays the current percentage of the GM Oil Life System as determined by the PCM. When the oil life remaining percentage drops below 10 percent, the radio displays CHANGE ENGINE OIL. When the engine oil is changed, reset the engine oil life in order to clear the oil life remaining percentage display. Press and hold the ENTER button for 5 seconds until the radio displays ACKNOWLEDGED. For more information on the rest of the personalization modes, refer to Personalization Description and Operation . Outside Air Temperature The body control module (BCM) reads the outside air temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is a 2-wire negative temperature co-efficient thermistor. The BCM provides 5 volts to an internal input resistor that is connected to the outside air temperature sensor. The outside air temperature is displayed in the driver information center (DIC) and the DIC is located in the radio. The temperature information is transmitted by the BCM for display in the DIC via GMLAN serial data message. The BCM provides the outside air temperature information in Celsius. The radio converts the temperature to Fahrenheit, if required. Indicators and Warning Messages For more information on driver information center (DIC) warning messages, refer to Indicator/Warning Message Description and Operation . Page 1809 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 4297 Page 3743 For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Disclaimer Page 9093 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 8090 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 1750 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 13815 1.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 185 Page 12343 Diagnostic Trouble Codes DTC U1000 and U1255 Circuit/System Description Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with it, the DTC will only be reported once. The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them: Page 11232 Inflatable Restraint Front End Sensor - Right Page 6840 Fuel Injector: Testing and Inspection Fuel Injector Balance Test With special Tool FUEL INJECTOR BALANCE TEST WITH SPECIAL TOOL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Fuel Injector Balance Test Example (Actual Results May Vary) The scan tool is first used to energize the fuel pump relay. The fuel injector tester is then used to pulse each injector for a precise amount of time, allowing a measured amount of fuel into the manifold. This causes a drop in system fuel pressure that can be recorded and used to compare each injector. TEST DESCRIPTION Page 6403 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Locations Left Rear of the Engine Page 11023 1. Determine the size, the pitch, and the depth of the damaged thread.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 6067 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 6107 Page 1116 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 5698 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 8510 Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Master Cylinder Bench Bleeding Master Cylinder Bench Bleeding Caution: Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant Caution in Service Precautions. Notice: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Notice in Service Precautions. Notice: When adding fluid to the brake master cylinder reservoir, use only Delco Supreme II, GM P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake fluid container. The use of any type of fluid other than the recommended type of brake fluid, may cause contamination which could result in damage to the internal rubber seals and/or rubber linings of hydraulic brake system components. 1. Secure the mounting flange of the brake master cylinder in a bench vise so that the rear of the primary piston is accessible. 2. Remove the master cylinder reservoir cap and diaphragm. 3. Install suitable fittings to the master cylinder ports that match the type of flare seat required and also provide for hose attachment. 4. Install transparent hoses to the fittings installed to the master cylinder ports, then route the hoses into the master cylinder reservoir. 5. Fill the master cylinder reservoir to at least the half-way point with Delco Supreme II, GM P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake fluid container. 6. Ensure that the ends of the transparent hoses running into the master cylinder reservoir are fully submerged in the brake fluid. 7. Using a smooth, round-ended tool, depress and release the primary piston as far as it will travel, a depth of about 25 mm (1 inch), several times. Observe the flow of fluid coming from the ports.As air is bled from the primary and secondary pistons, the effort required to depress the primary piston will increase and the amount of travel will decrease. 8. Continue to depress and release the primary piston until fluid flows freely from the ports with no evidence of air bubbles. 9. Remove the transparent hoses from the master cylinder reservoir. 10. Install the master cylinder reservoir cap and diaphragm. 11. Remove the fittings with the transparent hoses from the master cylinder ports. Wrap the master cylinder with a clean shop cloth to prevent brake fluid spills. 12. Remove the master cylinder from the vise. Page 2070 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 4799 2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece. The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such. 3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover removal procedures may vary. 6. Use fingers to squeeze the 2 locking legs of the cover. Page 2782 Location View Page 1484 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 7030 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 78 Page 1058 Page 4654 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 9071 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 1668 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs Page 10432 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 3452 10. Turn the tensioner plunger 90 degrees in its bore and compress the plunger until a paper clip can be inserted through the hole in the plunger body and into hole in the tensioner plunger. 11. Install the timing chain tensioner. 12. Tighten the chain tensioner bolts. Tighten Tighten the chain tensioner bolts to 10 Nm (89 lb in). 13. Remove the paper clip from the balance shaft drive chain tensioner. 14. Install the oil nozzle and bolt. Tighten Tighten the oil nozzle bolt to 10 Nm (89 lb in). Page 10868 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 4652 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 12530 Speaker: Service and Repair Front Upper SPEAKER REPLACEMENT - FRONT UPPER REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 1901 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 10999 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 12908 A current DTC clears when the condition for setting the DTC is no longer present. A history DTC clears after 50 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 8132 4.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 10522 IMPORTANT: Do not adjust any controls on the HVAC control module while the HVAC control module is calibrating.

Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 3241 3. This test is to verify that the drive belt is causing the rumbling noise. Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the similarity in the description. Remove only one drive belt at a time if the vehicle has multiple drive belts. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed. 4. Inspecting the drive belt is to ensure that it is not causing a the noise. Small cracks across the ribs of the drive belt will not cause the noise. Belt separation is identified by the plys of the belt separating and may be seen at the edge of the belt our felt as a lump in the belt. 5. Small amounts of pilling is normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe the drive belt does not have a smooth surface for proper operation. Page 7263 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 10755 61. Route the deployment harness out of the passenger side of the vehicle. 62. Disconnect the passenger/right seat belt pretensioner yellow connector (1) from the vehicle wiring harness located under the rear of passenger seat. 63. Cut the harness connector out of the vehicle, leaving at least 16 cm (6 in) of wire at the connector. 64. Strip 13 mm (0.5 in) of insulation from each of the connector wire leads. 65. Cut two 6.1 m (20 ft) deployment wires from a 0.8 mm (18 gage) or thicker multi-strand wire. These wires will be used to fabricate the right seat belt pretensioner deployment harness. 66. Strip 13 mm (0.5 in) of insulation from both ends of the wires cut in the previous step. 67. Twist together one end from each of the wires in order to short the wires. 68. Twist together one connector wire lead to one deployment wire. Page 470 Description and Operation Evaporative System Service Port: Description and Operation EVAP SERVICE PORT The evaporative emission (EVAP) service port is located in the EVAP purge pipe between the EVAP purge solenoid valve and the EVAP canister.

Important: Before replacing any engine mount due to suspected fluid loss, verify that the source of the fluid is the engine mount, not the engine or accessories. Install the engine support fixture. 2. Observe the engine mount while raising the engine. Raising the engine removes the weight from the engine mount and creates slight tension on the rubber. 3. Replace the engine mount if the engine mount exhibits any of the following conditions: ^The hard rubber is covered with heat check cracks. ^ The rubber is separated from the metal plate of the engine mount. ^ The rubber is split through the center of the engine mount. ^ The engine mount itself is leaking fluid. 4. For engine mount replacement. Page 6145 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3.

Repairing Connector Terminals Page 6780 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 7942 Fluid Pan: Service and Repair Oil Pan Replacement Removal Procedure Caution: Ensure that the vehicle is properly supported and squarely positioned. To help avoid personal injury when a vehicle is on a hoist, provide additional support for the vehicle on the opposite end from which the components are being removed. 1.

Installation Procedure Page 1581 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10.

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. Page 9244 C600 Body Harness to Right Front Door Harness Part 1 Page 11280 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-05-22-009B (Section 05 - Brakes). Condition Some customers may comment that intermittently the brake lights do not function correctly. Other symptoms may include extended pedal travel required to shift out of PARK, cruise control does not function correctly, and DTC C0131, C0161 and/or C0277 may be set. Cause The most likely cause of this condition is high resistance due to terminal fretting corrosion in the body control module (BCM) C2 or X2 connector (specifically pins 18, 31 and 59). Correction DO NOT replace the BCM for this condition. Disconnecting the C2 or X2 connector, adding dielectric lubricant and reconnecting the connector per the procedure below will correct the high resistance condition due to terminal fretting corrosion. 1. Remove the right side front floor console side trim panel to access to the Body Control Module (BCM). 2. Locate the C2 or X2 connector on the BCM. 3. Unlatch the connector and disconnect the connector from the BCM. 4. Apply dielectric lubricant (clear gel), GM P/N 12377900 (in Canada, use P/N 10953529) or equivalent, on all the connector pins (apply with a one-inch nylon bristle brush). This will treat the pins against fretting corrosion. 5. Reconnect the connector back on the BCM and re-latch. Wipe away any excess lubricant. 6. Reinstall the right side front floor console side trim panel. 7. Using the Tech 2(R), check that the BPPS ratio is equal to BPPS learned home when the brake pedal is not depressed. - If they are equal, the brake lamps should be operating correctly and no further steps are necessary. - If they are not equal, perform the Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration procedure in SI to complete the repair. 8. Verify proper operation of the brake lights. If incorrect, refer to SI and perform normal diagnostics.

Commercially Available Contaminated R134a Refrigerant Impurities have been found in new commercially available containers of R134a. High levels of contaminates may cause decreased performance, and be detrimental to some air-conditioning components. Accompanying these contaminates has been high levels of moisture. Tip: Excessive moisture may cause system concerns such as orifice tube freeze-up and reduced performance. Industry Reaction: New Industry Purity Standards Due to the potential availability of these lower quality refrigerants, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Industry (ARI) are in the process of instituting reliable standards that will be carried on the labels of future R134a refrigerant containers. This identifying symbol will be your assurance of a product that conforms to the minimum standard for OEM Automotive Air-Conditioning use. How Can You Protect Yourself Today? It is recommended to use GM or ACDelco(R) sourced refrigerants for all A/C repair work. These refrigerants meet General Motors own internal standards for quality and purity, insuring that your completed repairs are as good as the way it left the factory. Parts Information The part numbers shown are available through GMSPO or ACDelco(R). The nearest ACDelco(R) distributor in your area can be found by calling 1-800-223-3526 (U.S. Only). Page 6934 Page 903 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. Disclaimer Page 5264 Steps 1-12 Page 5311 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 4789 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 1257 Power Door Lock Switch: Service and Repair Bezel Replacement - Rear Door Switch BEZEL REPLACEMENT - REAR DOOR SWITCH REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 8485 Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Service and Repair Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) Replacement Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) Replacement Caution: Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant Caution in Service Precautions. Notice: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Notice in Service Precautions.

Important: Prior to disconnecting the brake pipes from the ABS modulator assembly, note the locations of the brake pipes to the valve assembly, to aid during installation. 7. Cap the brake pipe ends to prevent brake fluid loss and contamination. Page 11905 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 3673 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 7617 Page 8487 3. Remove the caps from the master cylinder brake pipe ends. 4.

The customer will hear a demo message stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services. ^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed. Note For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation. Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription. OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure, the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS. The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID (MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers. The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure, or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data. During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing. Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device identification, call routing and connection. They are: ^ A mobile identification number (MIN) ^ A mobile directory number (MDN) Note The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device. Diagnostic Information Symptoms - Cellular Communication The following steps must be completed before using the symptom table. 1. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle, before using the Symptom Tables in order to verify that the following are true: ^ There are no DTCs set. ^ The control modules can communicate via the serial data link. 2.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 9143 Body Control Module(BCM) - Top View Body Control Module (BCM) - Bottom View Page 1977 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 10876 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 13126 Adjustable Pedals Position Switch Page 11628 8.5. Close the luggage compartment floor. 9. Fold down the left-hand rear side hatch in the luggage compartment. 10. M03: Replace the optic cable on the left-hand rear side: 10.1.

Open the terminal housing (C) with a screwdriver. Remove the secondary catch (D) on the connector and disconnect the optic cable coming from the OnStar(R) control modules. Page 6890 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 12710 Adjustments Parking Lock Cable: Adjustments Park Lock Cable Adjustment 1.

Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 10598 3. Install the suction hose. NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. 4. Install the liquid line bracket bolt. Tighten Tighten the bolt to 10 N.m (89 lb in). 5. Install the refrigerant pressure sensor wire harness connector. 6.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3.

Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7.

Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 13299 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 12149 Important: The optic cable must not be bent with a radius less than 25 mm (1 in). 12.5.

Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 3458 30.

The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) supplies the OnStar(R) button assembly with 10 volts via the keypad supply voltage circuit. Each of the buttons, when pressed, completes the circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM over the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned, the VCIM is able to identify which button has been activated. Conditions for Running the DTCs The ignition is ON. System voltage is between 9 - 16 volts. Conditions for Setting the DTCs B2476 04: The VCIM detects an open/high resistance on the keypad supply voltage circuit. B2482 and B2476 59: The VCIM detects a valid signal on the keypad signal circuit for more than 15 seconds. If one of the OnStar(R) buttons is held or stuck for 15 seconds or more, the VCIM will set these DTCs. Action Taken When the DTCs Set The OnStar(R) status LED turns red. No calls can be placed. The VCIM will ignore all inputs from the OnStar® button assembly. Conditions for Clearing the DTCs The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. Page 6089 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-49-016A (Section 08 - Body & Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment that the backlighting on the IPC does not illuminate in the daylight hours with headlamps manually turned on. They may further state that the backlighting does function at night, but not in the day time. Cause On these vehicles, backlighting for the IPC is not enabled unless the vehicle's lighting photocell determines that there is a nighttime ambient condition. Backlighting is not controlled through the use of the park lamp or headlamp switch. The conditions under which the photocell activates the backlighting may not satisfy each particular customer's personal expectations, or the customer may simply prefer to have the backlighting always illuminated on the IPC when headlamps are manually turned on. Correction Module reprogramming must be done using the Pass-Thru method. Select "Instrument Panel (Backlight Dimming Fix ONLY)" from the Supported Controllers list. For customers who wish to have the IPC backlighting illuminated, a new service calibration is now available that will activate the backlighting to full intensity during daytime hours with headlamps manually turned on. Reprogram the BCM using SPS. The new calibrations are currently available on TIS2WEB. Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Page 12969 ^ An OnStar(R) Call Center button press WILL NOT connect the vehicle with OnStar(R). The vehicle must be upgraded to reactivate the account. The customer will hear a demo message stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services. ^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed. Note For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation. Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription. OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure, the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS. The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID (MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers. The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure, or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data. During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing. Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device identification, call routing and connection. They are: ^ A mobile identification number (MIN) ^ A mobile directory number (MDN) Note The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device. Diagnostic Information Symptoms - Cellular Communication The following steps must be completed before using the symptom table. 1. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle, before using the Symptom Tables in order to verify that the following are true: ^ There are no DTCs set. ^ The control modules can communicate via the serial data link. 2. Review the system operation in order to familiarize yourself with the system functions. Refer to Radio/Audio System Description and Operation in SI.

IMPORTANT: Verify the location of the front rail using 3-dimensional measuring equipment. Page 1572 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 207 10.4. Remove the end cap from the new optic cable, connect to the connector and refit the secondary catch (D). Fit the terminal housing (C) to the connector and refit the locking strip (B). 10.5. Secure the old optic cable together with the new one (E). Important: The optic cable must not be bent with a radius less than 25 mm (1 in). Important: Secure the wiring harness so that there is no risk of chafing and rattling. 11. CV: Remove the rear seat in accordance with WIS - 8. Body - Interior equipment Adjustment/Replacement. The O-bus connector H2-9 is located behind the left speaker. 12. M04-05: Disconnect the optic cables on the OnStar(R) control modules and join the cables: 12.1. Cut off the cable tie holding the connector (H2-9) against REC. Page 2118 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Steering - Steering Gear Stub Shaft Bearing Kit Steering Gear: All Technical Service Bulletins Steering - Steering Gear Stub Shaft Bearing Kit INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 04-02-32-001F Date: December 02, 2009 Subject: Release of Steering Gear Stub Shaft Bearing Kit for Service Models: 2002-2005 Buick Century, LeSabre, Park Avenue, Regal 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous 2004-2007 Buick Rainier 2005-2007 Buick Buick Allure (Canada), LaCrosse, Terraza 2002-2005 Chevrolet Cavalier, Impala, Malibu Classic, Venture 2002-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 2002-2009 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2003-2010 Chevrolet Express 2004-2007 Chevrolet Silverado (2WD) (Classic) 1500 Series 2005-2009 Chevrolet Uplander 2002-2009 GMC Envoy Models 2003-2007 GMC Sierra (2WD) (Classic) 1500 Series 2003-2010 GMC Savana 2002-2003 Oldsmobile Bravada 2002-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, Silhouette 2002-2004 Pontiac Aztek 2002-2005 Pontiac Bonneville, Grand Am, Montana, Sunfire 2002-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix (Excluding GTP Models) 2005-2009 Pontiac Montana SV6 2005-2007 Saturn RELAY 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the information.

To receive credit, submit a claim with the information above. Disclaimer 2001 and Older Model Year Vehicles (Except Saab Vehicles) 2001 and Older Model Year Vehicles (Except Saab Vehicles) Important: 2001 and older model year vehicles require the removal of the battery power from the OnStar(R) vehicle interface unit (VIU) to eliminate the possibility of an inadvertent OnStar(R) or emergency/airbag call. 1. Locate and gain access to the OnStar® VIU. Refer to OnStar Vehicle Interface Unit Replacement in SI. Important: Complete removal of the VIU is usually not required. Perform only the steps required to gain access to the C2 32-way blue connector. Residing in the C2 connector are the battery positive (+) circuits. Removal of the C2 connector will deactivate the unit and eliminate the possibility of an inadvertent OnStar(R) or emergency/airbag call. Page 10416 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 10596 Hose/Line HVAC: Service and Repair Suction Hose Replacement SUCTION HOSE REPLACEMENT TOOLS REQUIRED J 39400-A Halogen Leak Detector REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 3847 Page 11302 Metric Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development METRIC PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Page 6889 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 8577 Page 9939 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 10141 Second Design - Black Painted (DO NOT Lube) Hydraulic Assist Power Steering First Design - Bare Steel Tube (Lube OK) Second Design - Black Painted (DO NOT Lube) In the unlikely event that the source of the noise is identified as a second design shaft with black painted tube, it must be replaced. Correction 1 (Only for First Design - DO NOT USE FOR 2ND DESIGN) Lubricate the intermediate shaft with steering column shaft lubrication kit, P/N 26098237. 1. From inside the vehicle, remove the instrument panel insulator panel - left side panel to gain access to the intermediate shaft. 2.

Cause Water from a car wash or off the road may have entered the latch and frozen, causing the detent to move slowly. GM Super Lube(R) has been found to be an ideal solution to resolve latch freezing. Correction 1. Verify that the striker properly engages the latch and that no obstructions are preventing the door from closing. Important: The latch and its backing plate have been removed on the above illustration to show the location for the lube. Page 12366 Page 13339 Body Control System Diagram 3 Page 4741 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 5988 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 13334 Body Control Module (BCM) C4 Part 1 Page 12600 Page 4752 Listed are Registered Trademarks ((R)) or Non-Registered Trademarks ((TM)) which may appear in this service data.

Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 8564 If performing routine Brake Service for worn pads only, and the rotors are not damaged and measure within specification - DO NOT REFINISH ROTORS. 1. Remove the rotor(s). 2. Measure the rotor for original thickness using a brake micrometer. Multiple measure points should be taken and the lowest measurement should be recorded. 3. Reference the Minimum Thickness specification stamped on the backside of the rotor or SI for Minimum Thickness specification/other. In most cases, the rotor should be refinished unless the measurement taken makes it obvious that refinishing the rotor would take the measurement under the Minimum Thickness specification (then replacement is necessary). DO NOT use any other manufacturers rotor specifications. 3. ***Record the lowest ORIGINAL rotor thickness measurement on the repair order hard copy as noted in the "Repair Order Documentation - Rotor Refinish" section of this bulletin. 4. Clean all of the mating surfaces between the hub, the rotor and the wheel using the J 42450A Wheel Hub Cleaning Kit and J 41013 - Whiz Wheel(R). If rotors are not to be refinished - Go To Step 8. Important Cleaning all mating surfaces and making them free of corrosion, burrs and other debris (which includes removal of Hubless rotors) is critical and MUST be performed whether using an On-Car or Bench Lathe Refinish Procedure. 5. Be sure to follow the appropriate refinishing procedure listed below for the type of lathe you are using. Important Only replace the rotors if they do not meet the Minimum Thickness specification. Important DO NOT REFINISH NEW ROTORS. Important Only remove the necessary amount of material from each side of the rotor and note that equal amounts of material do not have to be removed from both sides on any brake system using a floating caliper. Important Prior to making the cut, install the recommended clip-on style disc silencer supplied with the lathe. Use of this silencer is critical to prevent chatter from occurring during the cut. Bench Type Lathe 1. Refinish the existing rotor on an approved, well-maintained lathe to guarantee smooth, flat and parallel surfaces. 2. Check for clean and true lathe adapters and make sure the arbor shoulder is clean and free of debris or burrs. For more information, see the "Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure (Bench-Type)" section in this bulletin. 3. On the outboard area of the rotor, position the cutting tools one eighth of an inch into the brake pad area of the rotor. Feed the cutting tools into the rotor until they cut the rotor to new metal, a full 360 degrees. Zero each dial and back off a full turn 4. Move the cutting bits to the middle of the rotor and do the same procedure. If zero is passed during the process, reset zero. Back off a full turn. 5. Position the cutting bits one eighth of an inch inside the inboard (closest to the hub) edge of the brake pad contact area. Do the same procedure. If zero is passed during the process, reset zero. 6. Back off a full turn and position the cutting bits all the way inboard in preparation to refinish the full rotor surface. Advance both tool cutters to the zero setting plus just enough to clean up the entire rotor surface. 7.

Many electrical functions on these vehicles do not directly involve the BCM, even though they may on other vehicles. The cooling fans, for example, are controlled by the engine control module (ECM) on the Malibu, but are controlled by the BCM on the Impala. The BCM is primarily a gateway between the high- and low-speed GMLAN serial data buses on the above listed vehicles. Functions That Do Not Involve the BCM The following list of features and functions are not controlled or dependent on the BCM: Important The BCM should NOT be replaced for conditions in these areas. - Cooling fans - Clock display - Radio display - Power mirrors - OnStar(R) - Rear wiper (on Malibu Maxx) - Warning lamps - Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) - Driver seat belt reminder light and chime - Power windows Important The BCM also acts as a power distribution center and may provide a fused battery feed to the modules that actually do control the above functions. Do not assume a similar control module issue will apply to different vehicle lines. Refer to SI for the appropriate description and operation and diagnostic information.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-02-32-007F (Section 02 - Steering). Condition 1 Some customers may comment on a clunk noise heard and felt in the steering wheel while driving at slow speeds and turning. The clunk noise may appear to be directly in front of the driver. Hitting a bump while turning can produce the clunk noise. Sometimes the noise may be duplicated when the vehicle is sitting still and the steering wheel is turned 90 degrees in either direction before initially centering the steering wheel. Cause 1 The clunk noise may be caused by a slip/stick condition between the inner and outer components of the intermediate shaft. Important Revised design intermediate shafts went into production in the 2009 model year and are the only design currently available through GMSPO since approximately September 2008. Since any model year vehicle could have had a second design shaft installed, it is critical to identify it before proceeding. The revised design intermediate shafts will NOT tolerate any type of lubricant per the following instructions. Adding lube to the second design shafts will cause a clunk noise in a very short period of time. Use the following pictures to identify which design of shaft you are servicing.

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2.

DTC P0325 may result if the sensor is installed backwards. Page 5961 Page 657 Page 6018 Page 11909 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 13974 9.

Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 9417 Application Table Part 2 Page 12412 8.5.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 2775 Fuse: Application and ID Fuse Block - Rear Location View Page 5994 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 4401 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 4830 Page 7100 Page 7440 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 8922 Assistance for all GM fleet customers using GM STC products and services is provided on the Internet via www.gmcommontraining.com using the "Contact Us" button on the site and/or the GM Common Training Help Desk at 1-888-748-2687.

Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 2388 Power Window Switch: Service and Repair Power Window Switch Replacement - Right Front Power Window Switch Replacement - Right Front Removal Procedure 1.

Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Service and Repair Backing Plate: Service and Repair Drum Brake Backing Plate Replacement Removal Procedure 1.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in: Service Engine Soon (SES) light on Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s) Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur. When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the concern. The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty. If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs. Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not considered to be warrantable repair items. Page 10514 Blower Motor Control Module Page 10747 23.

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. - Blower Control Module - Body Control Module (BCM) - Communication Interface Module (CIM) - Cooling Fan Control Module - Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) - Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module (EBTCM) - Electronic Suspension Control (ESC) Module - Engine Control Module (ECM) - Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Control Module Page 1149 Page 5339 Page 2692 Refrigerant: Technical Service Bulletins A/C - Contaminated R134A Refrigerant Bulletin No.: 06-01-39-007 Date: July 25, 2006 INFORMATION Subject: Contaminated R134a Refrigerant Found on Market for Automotive Air-Conditioning Systems Models: 2007 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (including Saturn) 2007 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2007 and Prior Saab 9-7X Attention: This bulletin should be directed to the Service Manager as well as the Parts Manager. Commercially Available Contaminated R134a Refrigerant Impurities have been found in new commercially available containers of R134a. High levels of contaminates may cause decreased performance, and be detrimental to some air-conditioning components. Accompanying these contaminates has been high levels of moisture. Tip: Excessive moisture may cause system concerns such as orifice tube freeze-up and reduced performance. Industry Reaction: New Industry Purity Standards Due to the potential availability of these lower quality refrigerants, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Industry (ARI) are in the process of instituting reliable standards that will be carried on the labels of future R134a refrigerant containers. This identifying symbol will be your assurance of a product that conforms to the minimum standard for OEM Automotive Air-Conditioning use. How Can You Protect Yourself Today? It is recommended to use GM or ACDelco(R) sourced refrigerants for all A/C repair work. These refrigerants meet General Motors own internal standards for quality and purity, insuring that your completed repairs are as good as the way it left the factory. Parts Information The part numbers shown are available through GMSPO or ACDelco(R).

Always use a suitable cleaner/solvent to remove these lubricants prior to installing the wheel and tire assemblies. Lubricants left on the wheel studs may cause improper readings of wheel nut torque. Always install wheels to clean, dry wheel studs ONLY. Notice Lubricants left on the wheel studs or vertical mounting surfaces between the wheel and the rotor or drum may cause the wheel to work itself loose after the vehicle is driven. Always install wheels to clean, dry wheel studs and surfaces ONLY. Beginning with 2011 model year vehicles, put a light coating of grease, GM P/N 1051344 (in Canada, P/N 9930370), on the inner surface of the wheel pilot hole to prevent wheel seizure to the axle or bearing hub. Wheel Stud and Lug Nut Damage Always inspect the wheel studs and lug nuts for signs of damage from crossthreading or abuse. You should never have to force wheel nuts down the stud. Lug nuts that are damaged may not retain properly, yet give the impression of fully tightening. Always inspect and replace any component suspected of damage. Tip Always start wheel nuts by hand! Be certain that all wheel nut threads have been engaged BEFORE tightening the nut. Important If the vehicle has directional tread tires, verify the directional arrow on the outboard side of the tire is pointing in the direction of forward rotation. Wheel Nut Tightening and Torque Improper wheel nut tightening can lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. In order to avoid additional brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel nuts to the proper torque specification as shown for each vehicle in SI. Always observe the proper wheel nut tightening sequence as shown below in order to avoid trapping the wheel on the wheel stud threads or clamping the wheel slightly off center resulting in vibration. The Most Important Service You Provide While the above information is well known, and wheel removal so common, technicians run the risk of becoming complacent on this very important Page 6903 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown. Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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 Page 3682 2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece. The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such. 3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover removal procedures may vary. 6. Use fingers to squeeze the 2 locking legs of the cover. Page 1648 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 1642 Steering - Front End Clunk/Rattle/Knock On Bumps Stabilizer Link: All Technical Service Bulletins Steering - Front End Clunk/Rattle/Knock On Bumps TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 06-02-32-007G Date: April 05, 2010 Subject: Clunk, Knock or Rattle Noise From Front of Vehicle While Driving or Turning Over Bumps at Low Speeds (Diagnose Noise and Perform Outlined Repair) Models: 2004-2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 2007-2010 Saturn Aura Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Parts Information for the bolt. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-02-32-007F (Section 02 - Steering). Condition 1 Some customers may comment on a clunk noise heard and felt in the steering wheel while driving at slow speeds and turning. The clunk noise may appear to be directly in front of the driver. Hitting a bump while turning can produce the clunk noise. Sometimes the noise may be duplicated when the vehicle is sitting still and the steering wheel is turned 90 degrees in either direction before initially centering the steering wheel. Cause 1 The clunk noise may be caused by a slip/stick condition between the inner and outer components of the intermediate shaft. Important Revised design intermediate shafts went into production in the 2009 model year and are the only design currently available through GMSPO since approximately September 2008. Since any model year vehicle could have had a second design shaft installed, it is critical to identify it before proceeding. The revised design intermediate shafts will NOT tolerate any type of lubricant per the following instructions. Adding lube to the second design shafts will cause a clunk noise in a very short period of time. Use the following pictures to identify which design of shaft you are servicing.

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. Page 4324 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 5310 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

Important Revised design intermediate shafts went into production in the 2009 model year and are the only design currently available through GMSPO since approximately September 2008. Since any model year vehicle could have had a second design shaft installed, it is critical to identify it before proceeding. The revised design intermediate shafts will NOT tolerate any type of lubricant per the following instructions. Adding lube to the second design shafts will cause a clunk noise in a very short period of time. Use the following pictures to identify which design of shaft you are servicing.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 13015 Important: The optic cable must not be bent with a radius less than 25 mm (1 in). 6.17.

Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with it, the DTC will only be reported once. The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them: Page 2167 Page 189 Page 10214 Tires: Technical Service Bulletins Tires/Wheels - Tire Puncture Repair Procedures INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 04-03-10-001F Date: April 27, 2010 Subject: Tire Puncture Repair Procedures For All Cars and Light Duty Trucks Models: 2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin 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. Page 10986 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 5226 Assistance for all GM fleet customers using GM STC products and services is provided on the Internet via www.gmcommontraining.com using the "Contact Us" button on the site and/or the GM Common Training Help Desk at 1-888-748-2687.

Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip.

Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 4724 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 11993 Models The service procedure in this bulletin has been revised. Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005 Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued September 2008. Condition In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On Star(R) is unable to continue analog service. OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However, since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call, the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained.

Notice: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Notice in Service Precautions. Notice: When adding fluid to the brake master cylinder reservoir, use only Delco Supreme II, GM P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake fluid container. The use of any type of fluid other than the recommended type of brake fluid, may cause contamination which could result in damage to the internal rubber seals and/or rubber linings of hydraulic brake system components. 1. Secure the mounting flange of the brake master cylinder in a bench vise so that the rear of the primary piston is accessible. 2. Remove the master cylinder reservoir cap and diaphragm. 3. Install suitable fittings to the master cylinder ports that match the type of flare seat required and also provide for hose attachment. 4. Install transparent hoses to the fittings installed to the master cylinder ports, then route the hoses into the master cylinder reservoir. 5. Fill the master cylinder reservoir to at least the half-way point with Delco Supreme II, GM P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake fluid container. 6. Ensure that the ends of the transparent hoses running into the master cylinder reservoir are fully submerged in the brake fluid. 7. Using a smooth, round-ended tool, depress and release the primary piston as far as it will travel, a depth of about 25 mm (1 inch), several times. Observe the flow of fluid coming from the ports.As air is bled from the primary and secondary pistons, the effort required to depress the primary piston will increase and the amount of travel will decrease. 8. Continue to depress and release the primary piston until fluid flows freely from the ports with no evidence of air bubbles. 9. Remove the transparent hoses from the master cylinder reservoir. 10. Install the master cylinder reservoir cap and diaphragm. 11. Remove the fittings with the transparent hoses from the master cylinder ports. Wrap the master cylinder with a clean shop cloth to prevent brake fluid spills. 12. Remove the master cylinder from the vise. Page 3464 3. If the timing chain tensioner is not in the compressed state, perform the following steps: 3.1. Remove the piston assembly from the body of the timing chain tensioner by pulling it out. 3.2. Install the J 45027-2 (2) into a vise. 3.3. Install the notch end of the piston assembly into the J 45027-2 (2). 3.4. Using the J 45027-1 (1), turn the ratchet cylinder into the piston. 4. Inspect the bore of the tensioner body for dirt, debris, and damage. If any damage appears, replace the tensioner. Clean dirt or debris out with a lint-free cloth. 5. Install the compressed piston assembly back into the timing chain tensioner body until it stops at the bottom of the bore. Do not compress the piston assembly against the bottom of the bore. If the piston assembly is compressed against the bottom of the bore, it will activate the tensioner, which will then need to be reset again. 6. At this point the tensioner should measure approximately 72 mm (2.83 in) (a) from end to end. If the tensioner does not read 72 mm (2.83 in) (a) from end to end, repeat steps 3-5. Page 3924 Disclaimer Page 2395 Washer Fluid Level Switch: Service and Repair WASHER SOLVENT CONTAINER LEVEL SENSOR REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 13174 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

When installing a new diode use the following procedure. OnStar(R) - Loss of GPS Signal/Hands Free Issues Emergency Contact Module: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Loss of GPS Signal/Hands Free Issues Bulletin No.: 02-08-46-007C Date: November 19, 2007 INFORMATION Subject: Information on OnStar(R) System - Possible Loss of GPS Signal, Hands-Free Calling Minutes Expire Prematurely and/or Inability to Add Hands-Free Calling Minutes Models: 2001-2008 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2003-2008 HUMMER H2 2006-2008 HUMMER H3 2005-2008 Saab 9-7X with OnStar(R) System (RPO UE1) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008 model year, warranty information and to provide GPS signal recovery steps (under Dealer Action heading) to do PRIOR to determining if the VIU/VCIM needs replacement. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-007B (Section 08 - Body & Accessories). If the vehicle currently has analog-upgradable OnStar(R) hardware, then the customer should be made aware of the digital upgrade program per the latest version of Service Bulletin # 05-08-46-006. Any analog OnStar system that is not upgraded prior to the end of 2007 will be deactivated due to the upcoming phase-out of the analog cellular network in the U.S. and Canada. If the vehicle has recently been upgraded or has had a service replacement unit installed, this bulletin may not be applicable. Certain 2001-2008 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) may exhibit a condition with the Global Positioning System (GPS) that causes inaccuracies in the GPS clock. The GPS system is internal to the OnStar(R) Vehicle Interface Unit (VIU) or the Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM). This inaccuracy can result in a symptom where the OnStar(R) Call Center is unable to obtain an accurate GPS signal, hands-Free Calling minutes expire prematurely and/or the inability to add Hands-Free calling minutes. Customer Notification OnStar(R) will notify the customer by mail with instructions to contact their dealership service department. Dealer Action Not all vehicles will require VIU/VCIM replacement. The GPS signal in some vehicles may be recoverable. To determine if the signal is recoverable, simply connect the Tech2(R) and using the GPS information data display option, observe the GPS date and time. If the date/time stamps are equal to a date approximately 19 years in the future, the GPS clock has exceeded its capacity and the VIU/VCIM will need to be replaced. If the date/time stamp is in the past or near future, the GPS clock has simply generated an inaccurate value and may be recoverable by performing the following power-up reset. To initiate a power-up reset, battery voltage (batt. +) must be removed from the VIU/VCIM. The preferred methods, in order, of initiating the reset are outlined below. Remove the fuse that supplies Battery positive (Batt. +) voltage to the module (refer to the applicable Service Information schematics for the appropriate fuse). The next preferred method is to remove the connector to the OnStar(R) unit that Batt + is contained. The least preferable method is to remove the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. This will not only initiate the power-up reset, but it may also result in the loss of radio presets and other stored personalization information/settings in other modules as well. After initiating the power-up reset, the GPS data will be set to the defaulted date and time and will require an acquisition of the GPS signal in order to gain the proper date and time. Acquiring the GPS signal requires running the vehicle in an open/unobstructed view of the sky. First, contact OnStar(R) Technical Support by pressing the blue button. Allow the OnStar(R) Technical Advisor to activate the GPS recovery process. This should take approximately 10 minutes.

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. †*We believe this source and their products to be reliable.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 7311 Page 2607 2.

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 Page 443 OnStar(R) Microphone The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit. In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the microphone. Cellular and GPS Antennas The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas: ^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas. ^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a single part. ^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM). The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna. The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10 minutes to register in the event of a loss of power. Audio System Interface When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle receives a call with the radio ON. On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return to its previous setting. OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it. By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands. The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network. The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body control module (BCM). OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle) The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended. A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2 and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by accessing www.onstarenrollment.com All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After 48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF, Page 4959 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 11648 ^ For U.S. Saturn retailer claim submission, use Net Item code "M" and Case Type VW. Page 8691 1.

This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 99-07-30-030E (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). Service Information Owners of some vehicles equipped with Hydra-Matic front wheel drive transaxles may comment on a grinding and/or growling noise that is noticeable when standing in PARK on a hill or slope with the engine running and the parking brake not applied. Under these conditions, the weight of the vehicle puts a load on the parking pawl which can create a "ground-out" path through the drive axles, front struts, springs and spring towers. Normal engine noise can be transmitted to the passenger compartment through the "ground-out" path. Owners concerned about this condition should be advised to apply the parking brake prior to shifting into PARK. This is the recommended procedure described in the Owners Manual. Applying the parking brake first will put the load of the vehicle on the rear brakes rather than on the parking pawl. Refer the owner to the appropriate Owner Manual for additional details and instructions. Disclaimer Page 631 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Diagrams Page 10940 Side Air Bag: Diagrams Inflatable Restraint Roof Rail Module - Left (With RPO Code AY0) Page 11406 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

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.

CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 10361 Behind Instrument Panel Compartment Left Side Of HVAC Case Page 8996 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Service and Repair Steering Mounted Controls Amplifier: Service and Repair Steering Wheel Control Switch Assembly Replacement Removal Procedure Important: Release the steering wheel control wire harness from the retainers on the steering wheel shroud to provide slack in the harness. 1.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 03-07-29-004F (Section 07 Transmission/Transaxle). Important Even though this bulletin attempts to cover operating characteristics of manual transmissions, it cannot be all inclusive. Be sure to compare any questionable concerns to a similar vehicle and if possible, with similar mileage. Even though many of the conditions are described as characteristics and may not be durability issues, GM may attempt to improve specific issues for customer satisfaction. The purpose of this bulletin is to assist in identifying characteristics of manual transmissions that repair attempts will not change. The following are explanations and examples of conditions that will generally occur in all manual transmissions. All noises will vary between transmissions due to build variation, type of transmission (usually the more heavy duty, the more noise), type of flywheel and clutch, level of insulation, etc. Basic Information Many transmission noises are created by the firing pulses of the engine. Each firing pulse creates a sudden change in angular acceleration at the crankshaft. These changes in speed can be reduced with clutch damper springs and dual mass flywheels. However, some speed variation will make it through to the transmission. This can create noise as the various gears will accel and decel against each other because of required clearances. Cold Operation Manual transmission operation will be affected by temperature because the transmission fluid will be thicker when cold. The thicker fluid will increase the amount of force needed to shift the transmission when cold. The likelihood of gear clash will also increase due to the greater time needed for the synchronizer assembly to perform its function. Therefore when the transmission is cold, or before it has reached operating temperature, quick, hard shifts should be avoided to prevent damage to the transmission. Gear Rattle Rattling or grinding (not to be confused with a missed shift type of grinding, also described as a combustion knock type of noise) type noises usually occur while operating the engine at low RPMs (lugging the engine). This can occur while accelerating from a stop (for example, a Corvette) or while operating at low RPMs while under a load (for example, Kodiak in a lower gear and at low engine speed). Vehicles equipped with a dual-mass flywheel (for example, a 3500 HD Sierra with the 6-speed manual and Duramax(R)) will have reduced noise levels as compared to vehicles without (for example, a 4500 Kodiak with the 6-speed manual and Duramax(R)). However, dual-mass flywheels do not eliminate all noise. Neutral Rattle There are often concerns of rattle while idling in neutral with the clutch engaged. This is related to the changes in angular acceleration described earlier. This is a light rattle, and once again, vehicles with dual mass flywheels will have reduced noise. If the engine is shut off while idling in neutral with the clutch engaged, the sudden stop of the engine will create a rapid change in angular acceleration that even dual mass flywheels cannot compensate. Because of the mass of all the components, this will create a noise. This type of noise should not be heard if the clutch is released (pedal pushed to the floor). Backlash Backlash noise is created when changing engine or driveline loading. This can occur when accelerating from a stop, coming to a stop, or applying and releasing the throttle (loading and unloading the driveline). This will vary based on vehicle type, build variations, driver input, vehicle loading, etc. and is created from the necessary clearance between all of the mating gears in the transmission, axle(s) and transfer case (if equipped). Page 301 8.5.

The class 2 serial data circuit is used for diagnostic purposes only in this vehicle. Connecting a scan tool to the data link connector (DLC) allows communication with the PCM for diagnostic purposes. DTCs may be set due to this symptom and during this diagnostic procedure. Complete the diagnostic procedure in order to ensure all the DTCs are diagnosed and cleared from memory. DIAGNOSTIC AIDS The PCM is the only module on the class 2 serial data buss on this vehicle. The most likely cause of the buss failure will be a short or open. TEST DESCRIPTION Steps 1-8 Page 4135 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 5571 Page 10455 English Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development ENGLISH PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Thread Inserts THREAD INSERTS General purpose thread repair kits.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 12902 The control module ID number list above provides a method for determining which module is not communicating. A module with a class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during the current ignition cycle will have a Loss of Communication DTC set by other modules that depend on information from that failed module. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC indicating the module that cannot communicate. Diagnostic Order When more than one Loss of Communication DTC is set in either one module or in several modules, diagnose the DTCs in the following order: 1. Current DTCs before history DTCs unless told otherwise in the diagnostic table. 2. The DTC which is reported the most times. 3. From the lowest number DTC to the highest number DTC. Conditions for Running the DTC The following DTCs do not have a current status: ^ B1327 ^ B1328 ^ U1300 ^ U1301 ^ U1305 AND ^ The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTC A node alive message has not been received from a module with a learned identification number within the last 5 seconds.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 6669 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Page 3794 Page 4989 Page 5534 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown.

Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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 Page 9919 2. Install the steering gear to the vehicle. Rotate the gear as necessary to clear the rear transmission mount. Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems. 3. Install the steering gear to frame bolts.

Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 2374 Page 2918 Disclaimer Page 12716 Page 8475 Page 7420 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 5240 Body Control Module(BCM) C1 Part 3 Page 8725 9.

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

Please discard Corporate Bulletin 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. Page 1788 Oxygen Sensor: Service Precautions Heated Oxygen Sensor Resistance Learn Reset Notice Notice: 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. Page 10149 Second Design - Black Painted (DO NOT Lube) Hydraulic Assist Power Steering First Design - Bare Steel Tube (Lube OK) Second Design - Black Painted (DO NOT Lube) In the unlikely event that the source of the noise is identified as a second design shaft with black painted tube, it must be replaced.

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

Disclaimer Page 943 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 12076 Check - Vehicle.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 7317 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.

ON-CAR TYPE LATHE Use the following procedure to calibrate an On-Car brake lathe: 1. Connect the lathe to a vehicle using the appropriate adapter. 2. Attach a vise-grip dial indicator to a fixed point in the wheel well and bring the dial indicator to a flat surface on the cutting head. 3. Turn on the lathe and press the "start" button so the lathe begins to compensate. 4. Once compensation is complete, note the runout as measured by the dial indicator. Measured runout at this point is overstated given that it is outside the rotor diameter. 5. If runout is in excess of 0.1016 mm (0.004 in) (0.050 mm (0.002 in) as measured within the rotor diameter), calibration must be tightened. Follow manufacturer's instructions for tightening the calibration of the lathe. This information is found in the manual supplied with the lathe. Important If the machine is taking a long time to compensate during normal use, prior to checking the lathe calibration, it is recommended that the machine be disconnected from the adapter and the adapter (still connected to the vehicle) is rotated 180 degrees and the machine reattached. This will accomplish two things: - It will re-verify the machine is properly attached to the adapter. - It will change the location of the runout (phase) relative to the machine and thus possibly allow for quick compensation as a result of the position change. The following information has been added as a reference to ensure your Pro-Cut PFM lathe provides a consistent smooth surface finish over long term usage. Cutting Tips / Depth of Cut / Tip Life The cutting tips must be right side up. Reference marks always face up. The cutting tips may not have chips or dings in the surface of the points. Cuts of 0.1016-0.381 mm (0.004-0.015 in) will provide the best surface finish and the optimal tip life. When cleaning or rotating the cutting bits, make sure that the seat area for the tip on the tool is free and clear of debris. Cutting Head On each brake job, the technician must center the cutting head for that particular vehicle using one of the mounting bolt holes on the slide plate. Once the head is centered, it is vital that the technician use one hand to push the head firmly and squarely back into the dovetail on the slide plate while using the other hand to tighten the Allen-Hex bolt that secures the head. Failure to do this could result in chatter occurring during the cut. Tool Holder Plate (Cutting Head) The tool holder plate is the plate that the cutting arms are attached to. It can bend or break if a technician accidently runs the cutting arms into the hub of the rotor while the rotor is turning. (Cuts of more than 0.508 mm (0.020 in) can also bend this plate). Once bent, the lathe will most likely not cut properly until the tool holder plate is replaced. In order to verify the condition of the tool holder plate on a machine that will not cut right, remove the mounting bolt and remove the cutting head from the slide plate. With the cutting head titled at an angle, lay the long edge of the tool holder plate down on the flat part of the slide plate. If any gap can be seen between the edge and the slide plate, the tool holder plate is bent and the source of vibration. Also check to ensure that the cutting arms are lying flat on the upper side of the tool holder plate. If the mounting arm post is bent, it will show itself by having the back of the cutting arm lifting off the surface of the tool holder. Gib Adjustment / Loose Gib As wear occurs between the slide plate and the box it rides on, you must take up the slack. You do this by way of a moveable wedge, which we call the gib. Your lathe manual details adjustment process, which you should perform when required after monthly checks or whenever surface finish is inconsistent. Brake Pulsation BRAKE PULSATION Brake pulsation is caused by brake rotor thickness variation. Brake rotor thickness variation causes the piston in the brake caliper, when applied, to "pump" in and out of the caliper housing. The "pumping" effect is transmitted hydraulically to the brake pedal. Brake pulsation concerns may result from two basic conditions: Page 12967 OnStar(R) Microphone The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit. In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the microphone. Cellular and GPS Antennas The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas: ^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas. ^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a single part. ^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM). The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna. The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10 minutes to register in the event of a loss of power. Audio System Interface When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle receives a call with the radio ON. On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return to its previous setting. OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it. By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands. The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network. The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body control module (BCM). OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle) The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended. A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2 and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by accessing www.onstarenrollment.com All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After 48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF, Page 2071 PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening. ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating A/T - Fluid Oil Cooler Flush Transmission Cooler: Technical Service Bulletins A/T - Fluid Oil Cooler Flush INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 02-07-30-052G Date: March 02, 2011 Subject: Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Flush and Flow Test Essential Tool J 45096 TransFlow(R) Models: 2011 and Prior Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2003-2010 HUMMER H2 2006-2010 HUMMER H3 with Automatic Transmission/Transaxle including Allison(R) Transmissions 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 Page 10207 Tire Pressure Sensor: Technical Service Bulletins Tire Monitor System - TPM Sensor Information INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 08-03-16-003 Date: May 12, 2008 Subject: Warranty Reduction - Transfer of Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensors to Replacement Wheels and Allowable TPM Sensor Replacements Models: 2000-2009 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2009 HUMMER H2 2006-2009 HUMMER H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7x with On-Wheel TPM Sensors TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they become necessary. Important: Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be transferred if one or more wheels are replaced. TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)). Important: ^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut. Notice: ^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps. These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals. On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in). For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order and use. Disclaimer Page 1494 2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece. The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such. 3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover removal procedures may vary. 6. Use fingers to squeeze the 2 locking legs of the cover. Page 5541 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 12358 DTC B2476 04: Cellular Phone Select Service Switch Open Circuit DTC B2476 59: Cellular Phone Select Service Switch Stuck Button DTC B2482 00: Cellular Phone Select Service Switch Range/Performance Circuit Short to Ground Open / High Resistance Short to Voltage Signal Performance Circuit/System Description The OnStar(R) button assembly consists of 3 buttons, Call/Answer, OnStar(R) Call Center, and OnStar(R) Emergency. The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) supplies the OnStar(R) button assembly with 10 volts via the keypad supply voltage circuit. Each of the buttons, when pressed, completes the circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM over the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned, the VCIM is able to identify which button has been activated. Conditions for Running the DTCs The ignition is ON. System voltage is between 9 - 16 volts. Conditions for Setting the DTCs B2476 04: The VCIM detects an open/high resistance on the keypad supply voltage circuit. B2482 and B2476 59: The VCIM detects a valid signal on the keypad signal circuit for more than 15 seconds. If one of the OnStar(R) buttons is held or stuck for 15 seconds or more, the VCIM will set these DTCs. Action Taken When the DTCs Set The OnStar(R) status LED turns red. No calls can be placed. The VCIM will ignore all inputs from the OnStar® button assembly. Conditions for Clearing the DTCs The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. Page 9141 Location View Diagram Information and Instructions Knock Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions Passenger Car Zoning PASSENGER CAR ZONING All grounds, in-line connectors, pass-through grommets, and splices have identifying numbers that correspond to where they are located in the vehicle. The table explains the numbering system. Electrical Symbols Page 12894 ^ An OnStar(R) Call Center button press WILL NOT connect the vehicle with OnStar(R). The vehicle must be upgraded to reactivate the account. The customer will hear a demo message stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services. ^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed. Note For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation. Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription. OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure, the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS. The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID (MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers. The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure, or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data. During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing. Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device identification, call routing and connection. They are: ^ A mobile identification number (MIN) ^ A mobile directory number (MDN) Note The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device. Diagnostic Information Symptoms - Cellular Communication The following steps must be completed before using the symptom table. 1. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle, before using the Symptom Tables in order to verify that the following are true: ^ There are no DTCs set. ^ The control modules can communicate via the serial data link. 2.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 912 Page 478 Involved are certain vehicles within the VIN breakpoints shown above. PARTS INFORMATION -- Saab US Only Customer Notification General Motors will notify customers of this special coverage on their vehicles (see copy of typical customer letter shown in this bulletin - actual divisional letter may vary slightly). Page 135 Page 8993 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-05-22-009B (Section 05 - Brakes). Condition Some customers may comment that intermittently the brake lights do not function correctly. Other symptoms may include extended pedal travel required to shift out of PARK, cruise control does not function correctly, and DTC C0131, C0161 and/or C0277 may be set. Cause The most likely cause of this condition is high resistance due to terminal fretting corrosion in the body control module (BCM) C2 or X2 connector (specifically pins 18, 31 and 59). Correction DO NOT replace the BCM for this condition. Disconnecting the C2 or X2 connector, adding dielectric lubricant and reconnecting the connector per the procedure below will correct the high resistance condition due to terminal fretting corrosion. 1. Remove the right side front floor console side trim panel to access to the Body Control Module (BCM). 2. Locate the C2 or X2 connector on the BCM. 3. Unlatch the connector and disconnect the connector from the BCM. 4. Apply dielectric lubricant (clear gel), GM P/N 12377900 (in Canada, use P/N 10953529) or equivalent, on all the connector pins (apply with a one-inch nylon bristle brush). This will treat the pins against fretting corrosion. 5. Reconnect the connector back on the BCM and re-latch. Wipe away any excess lubricant. 6. Reinstall the right side front floor console side trim panel. 7. Using the Tech 2(R), check that the BPPS ratio is equal to BPPS learned home when the brake pedal is not depressed. - If they are equal, the brake lamps should be operating correctly and no further steps are necessary. - If they are not equal, perform the Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration procedure in SI to complete the repair. 8.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-49-016A (Section 08 - Body & Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment that the backlighting on the IPC does not illuminate in the daylight hours with headlamps manually turned on. They may further state that the backlighting does function at night, but not in the day time. Cause On these vehicles, backlighting for the IPC is not enabled unless the vehicle's lighting photocell determines that there is a nighttime ambient condition. Backlighting is not controlled through the use of the park lamp or headlamp switch. The conditions under which the photocell activates the backlighting may not satisfy each particular customer's personal expectations, or the customer may simply prefer to have the backlighting always illuminated on the IPC when headlamps are manually turned on. Correction Module reprogramming must be done using the Pass-Thru method. Select "Instrument Panel (Backlight Dimming Fix ONLY)" from the Supported Controllers list. For customers who wish to have the IPC backlighting illuminated, a new service calibration is now available that will activate the backlighting to full intensity during daytime hours with headlamps manually turned on. Reprogram the BCM using SPS. The new calibrations are currently available on TIS2WEB.

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 Page 9835 18. Remove the lower left center pillar trim. 19.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Page 5191 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Micro .64 Connectors MICRO.64 CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro 64 connectors. 1. Locate the lever lock on the wire dress cover. While depressing the lock, pull the lever over and past the lock. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component. 3. Locate the dress cover locking tabs at the front of the connector. Using a small flat-blade tool push down on one of the locking tabs and pull the cover up until the dress cover releases. Repeat this procedure for the other locking tab. 4. Once the front 2 locks are unlocked, lift the front of the dress cover and pull it forward. Page 6417 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 2146 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 12978 The module uses a default value for the missing parameter. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. Diagnostic Aids When multiple Loss of Communication DTCs are set concurrently, the cause is likely to be 2 opens in the ring portion of the class 2 serial data circuit. Use the Control Modules and Devices ‐ Description and Identification Number table in order to determine which modules are not communicating. Use the class 2 serial data circuit schematic in order to determine the location of the opens.

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Fuel Pressure Gage Installation and Removal Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair Fuel Pressure Gage Installation and Removal FUEL PRESSURE GAGE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL TOOLS REQUIRED J 34730-1A Fuel Pressure Gage INSTALLATION PROCEDURE CAUTION: Gasoline or gasoline vapors are highly flammable.

REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 8886 4. Gently pull the cable and the terminal (2) out of the back of the connector. 5. Re-form the locking device if you are going to reuse the terminal (1). 6. To repair the terminal, refer to Terminal Repair. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. Slip the cable seal away from the terminal. 2. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 3.

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.

Repair Procedure Page 7545 Page 2227 Page 5494 Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation FUEL LEVEL SENSOR The fuel level sensor consists of a float, a wire float arm, and a ceramic resistor card. The position of the float arm indicates the fuel level. The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor which changes resistance in correspondence with the position of the float arm. The control module sends the fuel level information via the Class 2 circuit to the instrument panel cluster (IPC). This information is used for the IPC fuel gage and the low fuel warning indicator, if applicable. The control module also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics. Page 3825 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 3810 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks.

The CKP sensor produces an AC voltage of different amplitude and frequency. The frequency depends on the velocity of the crankshaft. The AC voltage output depends on the crankshaft position and the battery voltage. The CKP sensor works in conjunction with a 7X reluctor wheel attached to the crankshaft. The CKP sensor produces 7 pulses for each revolution of the crankshaft. The pulse from the 10-degree notch is known as the sync pulse. The sync pulse is used to synchronize the coil firing sequence with the crankshaft position. The CKP sensor is used for ignition timing, the fuel injector timing, misfire diagnostics and tachometer display. The CKP sensor is connected to the ECM by a signal circuit and a low reference circuit. Recall - PCM Integrated Circuit Chip Damage Technical Service Bulletin # 05539A Date: 050427 Recall - PCM Integrated Circuit Chip Damage Product Emission - PCM Integrated Circuit Chip Damage-Replace PCM # 05539A - (Apr 27, 2005) Models: 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU, UPLANDER, EQUINOX, CLASSIC, SILVERADO 2005 GMC SIERRA 2005 PONTIAC SUNFIRE, GRAND AM, G6, GRAND PRIX, MONTANA SV6 2005 BUICK LACROSSE / ALLURLE, TERRAZA 2005 SATURN RELAY 2006 PONTIAC G6 THIS BULLETIN IS BEING REVISED TO ADD 2005 AND 2006 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES TO THE RECALL.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.

While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 9233 C214 Body Harness to Console Harness (With RPO Code UK6,U32) Part 2 Page 2060 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 7346 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 1782 Page 11961 Global Positioning System Antenna: Service and Repair Coaxial Cable Replacement - Navigation and Cellular Telephone Antenna COAXIAL CABLE REPLACEMENT - NAVIGATION AND CELLULAR TELEPHONE ANTENNA REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 12984 DTC B2483: Global Positioning System (GPS) Antenna Malfunction Short to Ground DTC B2484: Global Positioning System (GPS) Antenna Malfunction Open Circuit Conditions for Running the DTCs The ignition is in RUN or ACC position System voltage is between 9.5 - 15.5 volts.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 3590 Page 8303 the pressure. Shape the halfshaft inboard seal properly by hand. Remove the tool. 12.

Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 790 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 4818 Conversion - English/Metric Part 1 Page 11279 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown.

Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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 Page 11518 Page 2221 4.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 509 6.

Many electrical functions on these vehicles do not directly involve the BCM, even though they may on other vehicles. The cooling fans, for example, are controlled by the engine control module (ECM) on the Malibu, but are controlled by the BCM on the Impala. The BCM is primarily a gateway between the high- and low-speed GMLAN serial data buses on the above listed vehicles. Functions That Do Not Involve the BCM The following list of features and functions are not controlled or dependent on the BCM: Important The BCM should NOT be replaced for conditions in these areas. - Cooling fans - Clock display - Radio display - Power mirrors - OnStar(R) - Rear wiper (on Malibu Maxx) - Warning lamps - Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) - Driver seat belt reminder light and chime - Power windows Important The BCM also acts as a power distribution center and may provide a fused battery feed to the modules that actually do control the above functions. Do not assume a similar control module issue will apply to different vehicle lines. Refer to SI for the appropriate description and operation and diagnostic information. Disclaimer Page 7126 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 11282 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 14267 1. Install the adjustable pedal switch. 2.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 11640 ^ Pay the dealer the regular retail price (no discounts are available) for one of the following 1-year, non-refundable OnStar(R) Analog-to-Digital Transition (ADT) Service Subscription Plans: ^ 1-year Safe & Sound Subscription: $199 ($289 in Canada) ^ 1-year Directions & Connections Subscription: $399 ($579 in Canada) ^ Pay the dealer the applicable state and local sales taxes on the subscription: ^ U.S. Dealers: Taxes only apply in these states: CT, DC, FL, HI, ND, NJ, NM, NY, SC, SD, TX, and WV ^ Canadian Dealers: All applicable taxes ^ Pay the dealer a one-time charge of $15 for the upgrade: ^ U.S. Dealers: Do not collect taxes on the $15 ^ Canadian Dealers: Collect all applicable taxes on the $15 Note: Dealers should NOT remit OnStar(R) ADT-related taxes to their taxing authority as OnStar(R) is responsible for tax remittance.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Cooling System, A/C - Aluminum Heater Cores/Radiators Heater Core: Technical Service Bulletins Cooling System, A/C - Aluminum Heater Cores/Radiators INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 05-06-02-001A Date: July 16, 2008 Subject: Information On Aluminum Heater Core and/or Radiator Replacement Models: 2005 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2005 HUMMER H2 Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Warranty Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-06-02-001 (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System). Important: 2004-05 Chevrolet Aveo (Pontiac Wave, Canada Only) does not use DEX-COOL(R). Refer to the flushing procedure explained later in this bulletin. The following information should be utilized when servicing aluminum heater core and/or radiators on repeat visits. A replacement may be necessary because erosion, corrosion, or insufficient inhibitor levels may cause damage to the heater core, radiator or water pump. A coolant check should be performed whenever a heater core, radiator, or water pump is replaced. The following procedures/ inspections should be done to verify proper coolant effectiveness. Caution: To avoid being burned, do not remove the radiator cap or surge tank cap while the engine is hot. The cooling system will release scalding fluid and steam under pressure if the radiator cap or surge tank cap is removed while the engine and radiator are still hot. Important: If the vehicle's coolant is low, drained out, or the customer has repeatedly added coolant or water to the system, then the system should be completely flushed using the procedure explained later in this bulletin. Technician Diagnosis ^ Verify coolant concentration. A 50% coolant/water solution ensures proper freeze and corrosion protection. Inhibitor levels cannot be easily measured in the field, but can be indirectly done by the measurement of coolant concentration. This must be done by using a Refractometer J 23688 (Fahrenheit scale) or J 26568 (centigrade scale), or equivalent, coolant tester. The Refractometer uses a minimal amount of coolant that can be taken from the coolant recovery reservoir, radiator or the engine block. Inexpensive gravity float testers (floating balls) will not completely analyze the coolant concentration fully and should not be used. The concentration levels should be between 50% and 65% coolant concentrate. This mixture will have a freeze point protection of -34 degrees Fahrenheit (-37 degrees Celsius). If the concentration is below 50%, the cooling system must be flushed. ^ Inspect the coolant flow restrictor if the vehicle is equipped with one. Refer to Service Information (SI) and/or the appropriate Service Manual for component location and condition for operation. ^ Verify that no electrolysis is present in the cooling system. This electrolysis test can be performed before or after the system has been repaired. Use a digital voltmeter set to 12 volts. Attach one test lead to the negative battery post and insert the other test lead into the radiator coolant, making sure the lead does not touch the filler neck or core. Any voltage reading over 0.3 volts indicates that stray current is finding its way into the coolant. Electrolysis is often an intermittent condition that occurs when a device or accessory that is mounted to the radiator is energized. This type of current could be caused from a poorly grounded cooling fan or some other accessory and can be verified by watching the volt meter and turning on and off various accessories or engage the starter motor. Before using one of the following flush procedures, the coolant recovery reservoir must be removed, drained, cleaned and reinstalled before refilling the system. Notice: ^ Using coolant other than DEX‐COOL(R) may cause premature engine, heater core or radiator corrosion. In addition, the engine coolant may require changing sooner, at 30,000 miles (50,000 km) or 24 months, whichever occurs first. Any repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Always use DEX‐COOL(R) (silicate free) coolant in your vehicle. ^ If you use an improper coolant mixture, your engine could overheat and be badly damaged. The repair cost would not be covered by your warranty. Too much water in the mixture can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts. Page 11390 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 4322 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 9033 1. Guide the starter into the engine block (flywheel housing). 2. Install the starter mounting bolts. NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Tighten the starter to engine bolts to 40 N.m (30 lb ft). 3. Install the B+ cable and nut. Tighten the B+ cable to starter nut to 10 N.m (7 lb ft). 4. Install the S-terminal wire and nut.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 13526 Warranty Information Disclaimer Page 5962 Page 6362 Page 6026 Powertrain Control Module (PCM) C3 Part 1 Page 10072 6.

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

Abbreviations And Meanings ABBREVIATIONS AND MEANINGS Page 12230 ^ SP303 The following modules, components, and splice pack are connected to the star portion of the class 2 serial data circuit: ^ SP300 ^ Audio amplifier ^ Driver door module (DDM) ^ Driver door switch assembly (DDSA) ^ Memory seat module (MSM) ^ Left rear door module (LRDM) AND ^ SP303 ^ Antenna module ^ Front passenger door module (FPDM) ^ Rear integration module (RIM) ^ Right rear door module (RRDM) ^ Theft deterrent module (TDM) ^ Vehicle communication interface module (VCIM). Refer to Data Communication Schematics and Data Link Communications Description and Operation in SI. Part 2 Conditions for Running the DTC Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts. DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current. The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTC A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5 seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication. Action Taken When the DTC Sets The module uses a default value for the missing parameter. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. Diagnostic Aids When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or U1255 is set. Page 5204 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 12120 Models The service procedure in this bulletin has been revised. Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005 Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued September 2008. Condition In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On Star(R) is unable to continue analog service. OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However, since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call, the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained.

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. †*We believe this source and their products to be reliable.

In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the microphone. Cellular and GPS Antennas The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas: ^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas. ^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a single part. ^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM). The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna. The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10 minutes to register in the event of a loss of power. Audio System Interface When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle receives a call with the radio ON. On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return to its previous setting. OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it. By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands. The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network. The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body control module (BCM). OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle) The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended. A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2 and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by accessing www.onstarenrollment.com All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After 48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF, Page 5482 Powertrain Control Module (PCM) C3 Part 1 Page 10697 9.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 7221 Page 2326 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 1478 Page 7578 Page 11536 Important: The optic cable must not be bent with a radius less than 25 mm (1 in). 12.5.

The control module uses the KS system to test for abnormal engine noise that may indicate detonation, also known as spark knock. SENSOR DESCRIPTION This KS system uses one or two flat response two-wire sensors. The sensor uses piezo-electric crystal technology that produces an 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 KS detects. The control module receives the KS signal through a signal circuit. The KS ground is supplied by the control module through a low reference circuit. The control module learns a minimum noise level, or background noise, at idle from the KS and uses calibrated values for the rest of the RPM range. The control module uses the minimum noise level to calculate a noise channel. A normal KS signal will ride within the noise channel. As engine speed and load change, the noise channel upper and lower parameters will change to accommodate the normal KS signal, keeping the signal within the channel. In order to determine which cylinders are knocking, the control module only uses KS signal information when each cylinder is near top dead center (TDC) of the firing stroke. If knock is present, the signal will range outside of the noise channel. If the control module has determined that knock is present, it will retard the ignition timing to attempt to eliminate the knock. The control module will always try to work back to a zero compensation level, or no spark retard. An abnormal KS signal will stay outside of the noise channel or will not be present. KS diagnostics are calibrated to detect faults with the KS circuitry inside the control module, the KS wiring, or the KS voltage output. Some diagnostics are also calibrated to detect constant noise from an outside influence such as a loose/damaged component or excessive engine mechanical noise. Page 8903 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 4138 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 6108 Page 10443 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 7314 Page 3522 Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection SPARK PLUG INSPECTION SPARK PLUG USAGE - Ensure that the correct spark plug is installed. An incorrect spark plug causes driveability conditions. Refer to Ignition System Specifications for the correct spark plug. - 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 - Inspect the terminal post (1) for damage. Inspect for a bent or broken terminal post (1). - Test for a loose terminal post (1) by twisting and pulling the post. The terminal post (1) should NOT move. - Inspect the insulator (2) for flashover or carbon tracking, 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. - Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack instead of the electrodes (3, 4). Page 396 6. See wiring diagram shown above for details. 5. Replace the OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) in the vehicle with the provided Digitally-Capable VCIM. Refer to the Communication Interface Module Replacement procedure in the Cellular Communication section of SI. This kit may include a new VCIM bracket. If it does, use this new bracket on the vehicle and discard the original bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, plug the wiring jumper cable into the connector on the VCIM and the other end to the corresponding vehicle wiring harness connector. ^ For 2001, 2002 and 2003 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, do not reinstall the black plastic OnStar(R) module cover onto the vehicle after the VCIM and module bracket have been installed. This black plastic cover will no longer fit on the vehicle. ^ The upgrade kit for 2002 Sevilles and DeVilles, and some 2003 Sevilles and DeVilles, will contain a large bracket. To install the new VCIM into this bracket you'll need to carefully line up the notch in the VCIM with the tab in the bracket. Page 11889 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2.

These kits are available commercially. Repair Procedure Page 6177 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 4467 Page 12657 English Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development ENGLISH PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Thread Inserts THREAD INSERTS General purpose thread repair kits.

Notice: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from its mount and the hydraulic flexible brake hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak. 6. Remove the brake caliper from the brake caliper mounting bracket. 7. Remove the brake pads (1) from the brake caliper mounting bracket (3). 8. Remove the brake pad retainers (2) from the brake caliper mounting bracket (3). Steering - Front End Clunk/Rattle/Knock On Bumps Steering Shaft: All Technical Service Bulletins Steering - Front End Clunk/Rattle/Knock On Bumps TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 06-02-32-007G Date: April 05, 2010 Subject: Clunk, Knock or Rattle Noise From Front of Vehicle While Driving or Turning Over Bumps at Low Speeds (Diagnose Noise and Perform Outlined Repair) Models: 2004-2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 2007-2010 Saturn Aura Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Parts Information for the bolt. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-02-32-007F (Section 02 - Steering). Condition 1 Some customers may comment on a clunk noise heard and felt in the steering wheel while driving at slow speeds and turning. The clunk noise may appear to be directly in front of the driver. Hitting a bump while turning can produce the clunk noise. Sometimes the noise may be duplicated when the vehicle is sitting still and the steering wheel is turned 90 degrees in either direction before initially centering the steering wheel. Cause 1 The clunk noise may be caused by a slip/stick condition between the inner and outer components of the intermediate shaft. Important Revised design intermediate shafts went into production in the 2009 model year and are the only design currently available through GMSPO since approximately September 2008. Since any model year vehicle could have had a second design shaft installed, it is critical to identify it before proceeding. The revised design intermediate shafts will NOT tolerate any type of lubricant per the following instructions. Adding lube to the second design shafts will cause a clunk noise in a very short period of time. Use the following pictures to identify which design of shaft you are servicing.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-07-30-035A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). Water or ethylene glycol in automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is harmful to internal transmission components and will have a negative effect on reliability and durability of these parts. Water or ethylene glycol in ATF will also change the friction of the clutches, frequently resulting in shudder during engagement or gear changes, especially during torque converter clutch engagement. Indications of water in the ATF may include: - ATF blowing out of the transmission vent tube. - ATF may appear cloudy or, in cases of extreme contamination, have the appearance of a strawberry milkshake. - Visible water in the oil pan. - A milky white substance inside the pan area. - Spacer plate gaskets that appear to be glued to the valve body face or case. - Spacer plate gaskets that appear to be swollen or wrinkled in areas where they are not compressed. - Rust on internal transmission iron/steel components. If water in the ATF has been found and the source of the water entry has not been identified, or if a leaking in-radiator transmission oil cooler is suspected (with no evidence of cross-contamination in the coolant recovery reservoir), a simple and quick test kit is available that detects the presence of ethylene glycol in ATF. The "Gly-Tek" test kit, available from the Nelco Company, should be obtained and the ATF tested to make an accurate decision on the need for radiator replacement. This can help to prevent customer comebacks if the in-radiator transmission oil cooler is leaking and reduce repair expenses by avoiding radiator replacement if the cooler is not leaking. These test kits can be obtained from: Nelco Company Test kits can be ordered by phone or through the website listed above. Orders are shipped standard delivery time but can be shipped on a next day delivery basis for an extra charge. One test kit will complete 10 individual fluid sample tests. For vehicles repaired under warranty, the cost of the complete test kit plus shipping charges should be divided by 10 and submitted on the warranty claim as a net item. The transmission should be repaired or replaced based on the normal cost comparison procedure. Important If water or coolant is found in the transmission, the following components MUST be replaced. - Replace all of the rubber-type seals. - Replace all of the composition-faced clutch plates and/or bands. - Replace all of the nylon parts. - Replace the torque converter. - Thoroughly clean and rebuild the transmission, using new gaskets and oil filter. Important The following steps must be completed when repairing or replacing. Flush and flow check the transmission oil cooler using J 45096. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 02-07-30-052F- Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Flush and Flow Test Essential Tool J 45096 TransFlow. - Thoroughly inspect the engine cooling system and hoses and clean/repair as necessary. Page 1146 Page 9660 Disclaimer Page 2552 Drive Belt: Service and Repair Drive Belt Replacement ^ Tools Required J 44811 Accessory Belt Tensioner Unloader Removal Procedure 1.

This SDM has two fused power inputs; one fuse is for the battery voltage and the other fuse is for the ignition voltage. The SDM uses vehicle battery voltage as its main power input. The SDM then uses the vehicles GMLAN Serial Data Communication line and the ignition voltage logic input for enabling or disabling the SIR deployment loops. The SDM contains internal sensors along with several external sensors, if equipped, mounted at strategic locations on the vehicle. In the event of a collision, the SDM compares the signals from the internal and external sensors to a value stored in memory. When the generated signals exceed the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the appropriate deployment loops to deploy the air bags or seat belt pretensioners. If the force of the impact is not sufficient to warrant inflator module deployment, the SDM may still deploy the seat belt pretensioners. The SDM records the SIR system status when a deployment occurs and turns the AIR BAG indicator located in the IPC ON. As soon as three distinct deployment commands (representing different events) have been issued to any belt pretensioner, or the SDM commands any front and side air bag to deploy once, the SDM shall be considered to not be reusable. The SDM performs continuous diagnostic monitoring of the SIR system electrical components and circuitry when the ignition is turned ON. If the SDM detects a malfunction, a DTC will be stored and the SDM will command the AIR BAG indicator ON, notifying the driver that a malfunction exist. In the event that ignition positive voltage is lost during a collision, the SDM maintains a 23-volt loop reserve (23 VLR) for deployment of the air bags. It is important when disabling the SIR system for servicing or rescue operations to allow the 23 VLR to dissipate, which could take up to 1 minute. Page 9827 center. With the AIR BAG fuses removed and the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG warning indicator illuminates. This is normal operation, and does not indicate an SIR system malfunction. 6.

Refer to Data Communication Schematics and Data Link Communications Description and Operation in SI. Part 2 Conditions for Running the DTC Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts. DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current. The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTC A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5 seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication. Action Taken When the DTC Sets The module uses a default value for the missing parameter. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. Diagnostic Aids When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or U1255 is set. Page 10877 2.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 11556 monitor the Tech2(R) for the current time and date. REMINDER - Keep in mind that the time displayed on the Tech2(R) is in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and the offset is based on the time zones relationship to GMT.

Warranty Information (Saab U.S. Models) Page 5199 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 4804 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 1386 Dimmer Switch: Service and Repair INSTRUMENT PANEL (I/P) DIMMER SWITCH REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

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.

The relay armature is held in the open position by spring tension. Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the relay coil and the armature contact at all times. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies the ground path to the relay coil control circuit, via an internal integrated circuit called an output driver module (ODM). When the PCM commands the relay ON, the relay coil creates an electromagnetic field. This electromagnetic field overcomes the spring tension and pulls the armature contact into the stationary contact of the relay load circuit. The closing of the relay contacts allows current to flow from the battery to the following fuses and relay. The ETC FUSE - The EMISSION FUSE - The A/C CLUTCH RELAY When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, power is interrupted to the output driver module in the PCM, and the relay electromagnetic field collapses. This action allows the spring tension pulling on the armature to separate from the relay load circuit contact, which interrupts current flow to the fuses and relay. If the powertrain relay fails to close the engine will crank, but may or may not run. The class II communications will be available with the use of a scan tool. The powertrain relay system diagnosis table assumes that the vehicle battery is fully charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test in Starting and Charging. See: Starting and Charging/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Battery Inspection/Test TEST Page 13318 Page 781 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 13427 1.

Disclaimer Page 4835 Page 7638 Knock Sensor: Description and Operation KNOCK SENSOR (KS) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION PURPOSE The knock sensor (KS) system enables the control module to control the ignition timing for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from potentially damaging levels of detonation. The control module uses the KS system to test for abnormal engine noise that may indicate detonation, also known as spark knock. SENSOR DESCRIPTION This KS system uses one or two flat response two-wire sensors. The sensor uses piezo-electric crystal technology that produces an 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 KS detects. The control module receives the KS signal through a signal circuit. The KS ground is supplied by the control module through a low reference circuit. The control module learns a minimum noise level, or background noise, at idle from the KS and uses calibrated values for the rest of the RPM range. The control module uses the minimum noise level to calculate a noise channel. A normal KS signal will ride within the noise channel. As engine speed and load change, the noise channel upper and lower parameters will change to accommodate the normal KS signal, keeping the signal within the channel. In order to determine which cylinders are knocking, the control module only uses KS signal information when each cylinder is near top dead center (TDC) of the firing stroke. If knock is present, the signal will range outside of the noise channel. If the control module has determined that knock is present, it will retard the ignition timing to attempt to eliminate the knock. The control module will always try to work back to a zero compensation level, or no spark retard. An abnormal KS signal will stay outside of the noise channel or will not be present. KS diagnostics are calibrated to detect faults with the KS circuitry inside the control module, the KS wiring, or the KS voltage output. Some diagnostics are also calibrated to detect constant noise from an outside influence such as a loose/damaged component or excessive engine mechanical noise. Page 11181 4.

This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

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. Page 12706 Page 1151 Page 2377 Page 2589 Oil Filter: Specifications Oil Filter Housing Cover ...................................................................................................................... .................................................... 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) Page 5902 Steps 7-14 The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 6.

Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors: ^ Tire construction Variability in the tire construction may produce lead/pull. The rear tires will not cause lead/pull. ^ Wheel alignment ^ Brake Drag ^ Unbalanced steering gear Visual/Physical Inspection ^ Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of any of the suspension sub-systems. ^ Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom. ^ Inspect for proper tire size and inflation pressure. ^ Inspect for abnormal tire wear. Vehicle Leads/Pulls Alignment Diagnosis and Repair Front cross-caster and front cross-camber are the only wheel alignment parameters that influence lead or pull. If the vehicle leads/pulls to the left after performing the steps listed in SI Document ID, and the front wheel alignment parameters are found to be in specification, adjust the front left and/or right camber to achieve a cross-camber of -0.50° to -0.75°. Refer to Front Camber Adjustment, SI Document. The cross-camber is the difference between the left side camber and the right side camber (cross-camber = LH camber-RH camber). Positive cross-camber may cause the vehicle to pull to the left. For example: If the vehicle pulls to the left, adjust the cross-camber more negative and vice-versa. Steering Position and Torque Sensor Calibration Important: ONLY perform the steering position sensor and torque sensor recalibration procedure after the tires, suspension and alignment specifications have been inspected and/or corrected and the vehicle still exhibits a lead or pull condition. Failure to do so may result in additional customer lead and or pull concerns. After inspecting the suspension, tires and alignment, and if the vehicle still leads or/pulls, it may be necessary to recalibrate the steering position sensor and torque sensor. Refer to Control Module Setup, SI Document ID. Page 117 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Page 12964 Page 13885 1.

Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 10257 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.

Disclaimer Page 1984 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 12551 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 2170 A/T - 4L60/65E, No Reverse/2nd or 4th Gear Sun Gear: Customer Interest A/T - 4L60/65E, No Reverse/2nd or 4th Gear TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 00-07-30-022D Date: June 10, 2008 Subject: No Reverse, Second Gear or Fourth Gear (Replace Reaction Sun Shell with More Robust Heat Treated Parts) Models: 1993 - 2005 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2003 - 2005 HUMMER H2 with 4L60/65-E Automatic Transmission (RPOs M30 or M32) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add 2005 model year to the parts information.

The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 5897 Body Control Module: Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures A Symptoms - Computer/Integrating Systems SYMPTOMS IMPORTANT: The following steps must be completed before using the symptom tables. 1.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 13985 2.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 12077 Diagnostic Trouble Codes DTC U1000 and U1255 Circuit/System Description Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with it, the DTC will only be reported once. The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them: Page 2665 Page 9121 Application Table Part 2 Page 11780 The control module ID number list above provides a method for determining which module is not communicating. A module with a class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during the current ignition cycle will have a Loss of Communication DTC set by other modules that depend on information from that failed module. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC indicating the module that cannot communicate. Diagnostic Order When more than one Loss of Communication DTC is set in either one module or in several modules, diagnose the DTCs in the following order: 1. Current DTCs before history DTCs unless told otherwise in the diagnostic table. 2. The DTC which is reported the most times. 3. From the lowest number DTC to the highest number DTC. Conditions for Running the DTC The following DTCs do not have a current status: ^ B1327 ^ B1328 ^ U1300 ^ U1301 ^ U1305 AND ^ The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTC A node alive message has not been received from a module with a learned identification number within the last 5 seconds. Action Taken When the DTC Sets Page 139 Page 5822 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 9085 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 1 Page 8690 Brake Hose/Line: Service and Repair Brake Hose Replacement - Rear (Disc) Brake Hose Replacement - Rear (Disc) Caution: Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant Caution in Service Precautions.

Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to the 3-digit identification number is set. Page 6676 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 7294 Page 7358 English Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development ENGLISH PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Thread Inserts THREAD INSERTS General purpose thread repair kits.

Pressing the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) tool in the release cavity of the terminal you are removing, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used. TERMINAL REPAIR PROCEDURE Use the appropriate terminal and crimper in the J-38125 in order to replace the terminal. Weather Pack Connectors WEATHER PACK CONNECTORS The following is the proper procedure for the repair of Weather Pack(R) Connectors. 1. Separate the connector halves (1). 2. Open the secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the connector (1). 3. Grasp the wire and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the wire in this position. 4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder (1). 5. Gently pull on the wire to remove the terminal through the back of the connector (2). IMPORTANT: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector. 6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary. 7. Reform the lock tang (2) and reset terminal in connector body. 8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves. 9.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 10577 Heater Core: Service and Repair Heater Core Replacement HEATER CORE REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3.

The release cavities are the 2 center rows of cavities on one half of the connector. Page 4763 Page 9355 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 5595 Page 6334 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds.

Installation Procedure Page 1499 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 3681 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 5663 Steps 30 - 40 Page 14063 11. Install the AIR BAG (IGN) and AIR BAG (BATT) fuses into the BCM fuse center. 12.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 12249 Locations Left Side of HVAC Case Page 13824 2.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Campaign - Door Latch Freezing Front Door Latch: All Technical Service Bulletins Campaign - Door Latch Freezing Inventory Upgrade - Door Latch Freezing in Cold Temperatures # 05016 - (Jan 31, 2005) Models: 2005 Buick Allure - Canada Only 2005 Buick LaCrosse - US Only 2004-2005 Cadillac CTS, SRX 2005 Cadillac STS 2004-2005 Chevrolet Malibu (New Style), Mailbu Maxx 2005 Chevrolet Equinox This correction should be performed on all 2005 Buick Allure and LaCrosse; 2004- 2005 Cadillac CTS and SRX; 2005 Cadillac STS; 2004-2005 Chevrolet Malibu (New Style) and Malibu Maxx; and 2005 model year Equinox vehicles currently in your inventory.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 2121 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 1848 English Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development ENGLISH PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Thread Inserts THREAD INSERTS General purpose thread repair kits.

Remove the electrical center cover. 4. Remove all of the fuses and the relays. Page 6136 Page 915 Page 1915 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 11886 Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 5293 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures Technical Service Bulletin # 00-05-22-002L Date: 090326 Brakes- Disc Brake Warranty Service And Procedures INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 00-05-22-002L Date: March 26, 2009 Subject: Disc Brake Warranty Service and Procedures Models: 1999-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2003-2010 HUMMER H2 2006-2010 HUMMER H3 1999-2004 Isuzu Light Duty Trucks (Canada Only) 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X (Canada Only) 1999-2010 Saturn Vehicles (Canada Only) EXCLUDING 2009-2010 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to inform you that due to improvements in vehicle brake corner and wheel design, assembly plant build processes and dealership required tools like the On-Car Lathe, measuring for Lateral Run Out (LRO) is no longer a required step when performing base brake service.

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 7343 11.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-06-04-035B (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System). Customer Interest in E85 Fuel As the retail price of gasoline increases, some locations in the country are seeing price differentials between regular gasoline and E85 where E85 is selling for substantially less than regular grade gasoline. One result of this is that some customers have inquired if they are able to use E85 fuel in non-E85 compatible vehicles. Only vehicles designated for use with E85 should use E85 blended fuel. E85 compatibility is designated for vehicles that are certified to run on up to 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. All other gasoline engines are designed to run on fuel that contains no more than 10% ethanol. Use of fuel containing greater than 10% ethanol in non-E85 designated vehicles can cause driveability issues, service engine soon indicators as well as increased fuel system corrosion. Using E85 Fuels in Non-Compatible Vehicles General Motors is aware of an increased number of cases where customers have fueled non-FlexFuel designated vehicles with E85. Fueling non-FlexFuel designated vehicles with E85, or with fuels where the concentration of ethanol exceeds the ASTM specification of 10%, will result in one or more of the following conditions: Lean Driveability concerns such as hesitations, sags and/or possible stalling. SES lights due to OBD codes. Fuel Trim codes P0171 and/or P0174. Misfire codes (P0300). Various 02 sensor codes. Disabled traction control or Stability System disabled messages. Harsh/Firm transmission shifts. Fuel system and/or engine mechanical component degradation. Use of fuel containing greater than 10% ethanol in non-E85 designated vehicles can cause driveability issues, service engine soon indicators as well as increased fuel system corrosion. If the dealer suspects that a non-FlexFuel designated vehicle brought in for service has been fueled with E85, the fuel in the vehicle's tank should be checked for alcohol content with tool J 44175. If the alcohol content exceeds 10% the fuel should be drained and the vehicle refilled with gasoline - preferably one of the Top Tier brands. Page 7275 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 11512 Page 13317 Page 4028 Body Control Module (BCM) C1 Part 2 Page 11189 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 7934 8. Install the oil level control valve. 9.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-05-22-009B (Section 05 - Brakes). Condition Some customers may comment that intermittently the brake lights do not function correctly. Other symptoms may include extended pedal travel required to shift out of PARK, cruise control does not function correctly, and DTC C0131, C0161 and/or C0277 may be set. Cause The most likely cause of this condition is high resistance due to terminal fretting corrosion in the body control module (BCM) C2 or X2 connector (specifically pins 18, 31 and 59). Correction DO NOT replace the BCM for this condition. Disconnecting the C2 or X2 connector, adding dielectric lubricant and reconnecting the connector per the procedure below will correct the high resistance condition due to terminal fretting corrosion. 1. Remove the right side front floor console side trim panel to access to the Body Control Module (BCM). 2. Locate the C2 or X2 connector on the BCM. 3. Unlatch the connector and disconnect the connector from the BCM. 4. Apply dielectric lubricant (clear gel), GM P/N 12377900 (in Canada, use P/N 10953529) or equivalent, on all the connector pins (apply with a one-inch nylon bristle brush). This will treat the pins against fretting corrosion. 5. Reconnect the connector back on the BCM and re-latch. Wipe away any excess lubricant. 6. Reinstall the right side front floor console side trim panel. 7. Using the Tech 2(R), check that the BPPS ratio is equal to BPPS learned home when the brake pedal is not depressed. - If they are equal, the brake lamps should be operating correctly and no further steps are necessary. - If they are not equal, perform the Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration procedure in SI to complete the repair. 8. Verify proper operation of the brake lights. If incorrect, refer to SI and perform normal diagnostics. Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Page 6806 1.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 5288 Specifications Page 7183 5.

Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 2774 Location View Page 3050 The identification tag on the rear half of the transfer case provides the information shown.

In this state, the modules and their subsystems can support all operator requirements. If the engine run flag serial data is False, indicating that the engine is not running, the modules fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state, the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle. Discrete Ignition Signals Those modules that have discrete ignition signal inputs, also remain in the state dictated by the last valid PMM message received on the serial data circuits. They then check the state of their discrete ignition input to determine the current valid state. If the discrete ignition input is active, battery positive voltage, the modules will fail-safe to the RUN power mode. If the discrete ignition input is not active, open or 0 volts, the modules will fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state, the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle. BCM Wake-Up/Sleep States The body control module (BCM) is able to control or perform all of the BCM functions in the wake-up state. The BCM enters the sleep state when active control or monitoring of system functions has stopped, and the BCM has become idle again. The BCM must detect certain wake-up inputs before entering the wake-up state. The BCM monitors for these inputs during the sleep state, where the BCM is able to detect switch transitions that cause the BCM to wake-up when activated or deactivated. Multiple switch inputs are needed in order to sense both the insertion of the ignition key and the power mode requested. The BCM will enter a wake-up state, if any of the following wake-up inputs are detected: Activity on the serial data line - Detection of a battery disconnect and reconnect condition - Headlamps are ON. - Ignition is turned ON. - Key-in-ignition switch - Park lamps are ON. - RFA message The BCM will enter a sleep state when all of the following conditions exist: The ignition switch is OFF. - No activity exists on the serial data line. - No outputs are commanded. - No delay timers are actively counting. - No wake-up inputs are present. If all these conditions are met, the BCM will enter a low power or sleep condition. This condition indicates that the BCM, which is the power mode master (PMM) of the vehicle, has sent an OFF or OFF-ASLEEP message to the other systems on the serial data line. Page 6908 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 11589 The number above refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.

Locate and gain access to the OnStar® VIU. Refer to OnStar Vehicle Interface Unit Replacement in SI. Important: Complete removal of the VIU is usually not required. Perform only the steps required to gain access to the C2 32-way blue connector. Residing in the C2 connector are the battery positive (+) circuits. Removal of the C2 connector will deactivate the unit and eliminate the possibility of an inadvertent OnStar(R) or emergency/airbag call. Page 5544 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

When installing a new diode use the following procedure. TPMS System - Service And Re-Learning Sensor IDs Tire Pressure Sensor: Technical Service Bulletins TPMS System - Service And Re-Learning Sensor IDs INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 10-03-16-001 Date: July 19, 2010 Subject: TPMS System Service and Re-Learning Sensor IDs Models: 2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2 2009 and Prior HUMMER H3 2010 and Prior Saturn Models 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X with Wheel-Mounted Tire Pressure Sensors In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM) sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25 mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON, indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set. The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared. To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results. It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed. Disclaimer Page 4045 Body Control Module: Description and Operation Data Link Communications DATA LINK COMMUNICATIONS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The communication among control modules is performed through the GMLAN high speed serial data circuit and the GMLAN low speed serial data circuit. The modules that need real time communication are attached to the high speed GMLAN network. The body control module (BCM) is the gateway between the networks. The purpose of the gateway is to translate serial data messages between the GMLAN high speed buss and the GMLAN low speed buss. The gateway will interact with each network according to that network's transmission protocol. Refer to Body Control System Description and Operation for more information about the gateway. The 2.2L (L61) powertrain control module (PCM) on this vehicle, uses a class 2 serial data buss. The class 2 buss is only used for diagnostics and the service programming system (SPS). During normal vehicle operations, there is no communications over the class 2 serial data buss. Normal vehicle operational messaging for the PCM is sent over the PCMs GMLAN high speed serial data buss. The 3.5L (LX9) PCM does not use a class 2 serial data circuit. GMLAN HIGH SPEED CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the high speed GMLAN serial data circuit. The serial data is transmitted on two twisted wires that allow speed up to 500 Kb/s. The twisted pair is terminated with two 120 ohms resistors, one is internal to the powertrain control module (PCM) or engine control module (ECM) depending on regular production option (RPO) and the other is internal to the body control module (BCM). The BCM is considered the DLC termination point of the link and the engine management controller is the other end of the link. The resistors are used to reduce noise on 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. The idle level, which is approximately 2.5 volts, is considered recessive transmitted data and is interpreted as a logic 1. Driving the lines to their extremes, adds one volt to the high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) and subtracts one volt from the high speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) wire. This dominant state is interpreted as a logic 0. GMLAN network management supports selective start up and is based on virtual networks. A virtual network is a collection of signals started in response to a vehicle event. The starting of a virtual network signifies that a particular aspect of the vehicles functionality has been requested. A virtual network is supported by virtual devices, which represents a collection of signals owned by a single physical device. So, any physical device can have one or more virtual devices. The signal supervision is the process of determining whether an expected signal is being received or not. Fail softing is the ability to substitute a signal with a default value or a default algorithm, in the absence of a valid signal. Some messages are also interpreted as a heartbeat of a virtual device. If such a signal is lost, the application will set a no communication code against the respective virtual device. This code is mapped on the Tech 2 screen as a code against the physical device. NOTE: a loss of serial data DTC does not represent a failure of the module that the code is set in. GMLAN LOW SPEED CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit. The serial data is transmitted over a single wire to the appropriate control modules. 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. This protocol produces a simple pules train sent out over the GMLAN low speed serial data bus. When a module pulls the buss high, 5 volts, this creates a dominant logic state or 0 on the buss. When the buss is pulled low 0 volts, it is translated as a recessive logic state or 1. To wake the control modules connected to the GMLAN low speed serial data buss, a high voltage wake up pulse is sent out over the buss, the voltage level of the pules is +10 volts. Modules connected to the GMLAN low speed buss can be part of a virtual network as described in the previous paragraph. The modules on the GMLAN low speed serial data buss are connected to the buss in a parallel configuration. CLASS 2 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the class 2 serial data circuit. Class 2 serial data is transmitted on a single wire at an average of 10.4 Kbps. The bus is active at 7 volts nominal and inactive at ground potential. When the ignition switch is in RUN, and a scan tool is connected to the DLC, the 2.5L (L61) powertrain control module (PCM) will start communicating diagnostic information over the class 2 serial data circuit. The 3.5L (LX9) PCM does not use a class 2 serial data circuit. 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 GMLAN low speed communications terminal - Pin 2 Class 2 signal terminal 2.5L (L61) - Pin 4 Scan tool power ground terminal - Pin 5 Common signal ground terminal - Pin 6 High speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) terminal - Pin 14 High speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) terminal - Pin 16 Scan tool power, battery positive voltage terminal CLASS 2 SERIAL DATA USAGE The class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle is only used for the 2.2L (L61) powertrain control module (PCM) diagnostics and PCM service programming system (SPS) programming. The 3.5L (LX9) PCM does not use a class 2 serial data circuit. Page 7160 Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Service and Repair MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

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 Page 1821 2.

Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 6047 Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor Page 960 Metric Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development METRIC PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Restraints - Seat Belt Warning Lamp On/Buckling Issues Seat Belt Buckle: Customer Interest Restraints - Seat Belt Warning Lamp On/Buckling Issues INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 09-09-40-001A Date: February 02, 2011 Subject: Seat Belt Buckle Latching Issues and/or Seat Belt Warning Lights Illuminated Models: 2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7 X Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 09-09-40-001 (Section 09 - Restraints). This bulletin is being published to advise dealers about seat belt buckles not operating and/or seat belt warning light illumination, as well as difficulty latching and unlatching the buckle or the buckle release button sticking. Analysis of warranty data has determined that this condition may be caused by sticky beverages being spilled onto or into the seat belt buckle assembly. Foreign debris from food, candy wrappers, paper and coins can also contribute to this condition. Important If foreign material (debris) or sticky liquids are the cause of the concern, show the customer the condition of the component (buckle assembly) and explain how it is affecting the function of the restraint system. Strongly recommend that the component be replaced. Point out the fact that this is not a manufacturing defect and is not covered by the new vehicle warranty. If the customer declines to have parts replaced, the service department management must make a notation on the service record that the lack of functionality of seating position with an inoperative buckle was fully explained to the customer. The service department management must advise the customer that having a non-functioning buckle in a seating position voids ability to use that seating position (no one should ride in the seat). Also make the customer aware that it may be against the law to ride in a vehicle without wearing a restraint system. Important Never insert anything other than the seat belt latch plate into the buckle assembly. Do not attempt to dig anything out of a buckle with a tool. Never try to wash out a buckle to remove a spilled liquid as this may damage the buckle. Use the following steps to determine the cause of the concern. 1. Inspect the buckle assembly with a light shining on the latch plate insertion area. Look for any debris or foreign objects in the buckle. 2. If any debris or foreign objects are observed, try to vacuum out the item. After the foreign material is removed, latch and unlatch the seat belt. If the system functions properly, do not replace the seat belt buckle assembly. 3. If the condition has not been corrected, inspect the buckle assembly for any sticky residue. If sticky residue is found, inform the customer that a substance was spilled on the seat belt buckle assembly causing the malfunction. The buckle assembly will need to be replaced at the customer's expense. 4. Refer to SI for seat belt component replacement. Important If foreign material (debris) or sticky liquids are the cause of the concern, show the customer the condition of the component (buckle assembly) and explain how it is affecting the function of the restraint system. Strongly recommend that the component be replaced at the customer's expense. Point out the fact that this is not a manufacturing defect and is not covered by the new vehicle warranty.

If further restraint diagnosis is required, refer to Seat Belt System Operational and Functional Checks in SI. Page 4859 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire.

Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 9148 Location View Page 12721 5.2 Cut off the cable tie (B), detach the connector's rear end face (C) and pull out the connecting rail (D). 5.3.

The drive belt is thin so that it can bend backwards and has several ribs to match the grooves in the pulleys. There also may be a V-belt style belt used to drive certain accessory drive components. The drive belts are made of different types of rubbers (chloroprene or EPDM) and have different layers or plys containing either fiber cloth or cords for reinforcement. Both sides of the drive belt may be used to drive the different accessory drive components. When the back side of the drive belt is used to drive a pulley, the pulley is smooth. The drive belt is pulled by the crankshaft balancer pulley across the accessory drive component pulleys. The spring loaded drive belt tensioner keeps constant tension on the drive belt to prevent the drive belt from slipping. The drive belt tensioner arm will move when loads are applied to the drive belt by the accessory drive components and the crankshaft. The drive belt system may have an idler pulley, which is used to add wrap to the adjacent pulleys. Some systems use an idler pulley in place of an accessory drive component when the vehicle is not equipped with the accessory. Page 2895 Tires: Service and Repair Tire Rotation Tire Rotation Rotate the tire and wheel assemblies at frequent intervals to equalize wear. In addition to scheduled rotation, rotate the tire and wheel assembly whenever uneven tire wear is noticed. Radial tires tend to wear faster in the shoulder area, particularly in front positions. Radial tires in non-drive locations may develop an irregular wear pattern that may increase tire noise. This makes regular rotation especially necessary. Always use a 4-wheel rotation. After rotation, check the wheel nuts for specified torque. Then set the tire pressure. Page 10602 19.

Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This can cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is moving, causing loss of control and possibly personal injury. Important: Wheel nuts, studs, and mounting surfaces must be clean and dry. 1. Remove any corrosion or foreign material from the wheel and the hub mounting surfaces. 2. Clean the threads on the wheel studs and wheel nuts. 3. Install the tire and wheel assembly. Align the locating mark of the wheel to the hub. 4. Install the wheel nuts. Notice: A torque wrench or J 39544 must be used to ensure that wheel nuts are tightened to specification. Never use lubricants or penetrating fluids on wheel stud, nuts, or mounting surfaces, as this can raise the actual torque on the nut without a corresponding torque reading on the torque wrench. Wheel nuts, studs, and mounting surfaces must be clean and dry. Failure to follow these instructions could result in wheel, nut, and/or stud damage. Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Important: Tighten the nuts evenly and alternately in the sequence shown, in order to avoid excessive runout. 5.

REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 12015 Important: The optic cable must not be bent with a radius less than 25 mm (1 in). 6.12.

Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Diagram Information and Instructions Auxiliary Power Outlet: Diagram Information and Instructions Passenger Car Zoning PASSENGER CAR ZONING All grounds, in-line connectors, pass-through grommets, and splices have identifying numbers that correspond to where they are located in the vehicle. The table explains the numbering system. Electrical Symbols Page 12224 OnStar(R) Microphone The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit. In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the microphone. Cellular and GPS Antennas The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas: ^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas. ^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a single part. ^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM). The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna. The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10 minutes to register in the event of a loss of power. Audio System Interface When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle receives a call with the radio ON. On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return to its previous setting. OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it. By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands. The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network. The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body control module (BCM). OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle) The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended. A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2 and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by accessing www.onstarenrollment.com All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After 48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF, Page 10219 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.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 4655 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 10237 of vibration is normally felt more in the "seat of the pants" than the steering wheel. 5. Next, record the Hertz (Hz) reading as displayed by the EVA onto the tire data worksheet found at the end of this bulletin. This should be done after a tire break-in period of at least 16 km (10 mi) at 72 km/h (45 mph) or greater, in order to eliminate any possible tire flat-spotting. This reading confirms what the vehicle vibration frequency is prior to vehicle service and documents the amount of improvement occurring as the result of the various steps taken to repair. Completing the Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet below is required. A copy of the completed worksheet must be saved with the R.O. and a copy included with any parts returned to the Warranty Parts Center for analysis. A reading of 35 to 50 Hz typically indicates a first order propshaft vibration. If this is the situation, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-07-30-044D. Generally, a reading between 10 and 20 Hz indicates a tire/wheel vibration and if this is the reading obtained, continue using this bulletin. If the tire 1st order vibration goes away and stays away during this evaluation, the cause is likely tire flat-spotting. Tire flat-spotting vibration may come and go at any speed over 72 km/h (45 mph) during the first 10 minutes of operation, if vibration continues after 10 minutes of driving at speeds greater than 72 km/h (45 mph), tire flat-spotting can be ruled out as the cause for vibration. 6. If flat-spotting is the cause, provide the explanation that this has occurred due to the vehicle being parked for long periods of time and that the nature of the tire is to take a set. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E: Information on Tire/Wheel Characteristics (Vibration, Balance, Shake, Flat Spotting) of GM Original Equipment Tires. 7. If the road test indicates a shake/vibration exists, check the imbalance of each tire/wheel assembly on a known, calibrated, off-car dynamic balancer.Make sure the mounting surface of the wheel and the surface of the balancer are absolutely clean and free of debris. Be sure to chose the proper cone/collet for the wheel, and always use the pilot bore for centering. Never center the wheel using the hub-cap bore since it is not a precision machined surface. If any assembly calls for more than 1/4 ounce on either rim flange, remove all balance weights and rebalance to as close to zero as possible. If you can see the vibration (along with feeling it) in the steering wheel (driving straight without your hands on the wheel), it is very likely to be a tire/wheel first order (one pulse per revolution) disturbance. First order disturbances can be caused by imbalance as well as non-uniformities in tires, wheels or hubs. This first order frequency is too low for a human to hear, but if the amplitude is high enough, it can be seen. If a vibration or shake still exists after balancing, any out of round conditions, of the wheel, and force variation conditions of the tire, must be addressed. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 can address both (it is also a wheel balancer). Tire radial force vibration (RFV) can be defined as the amount of stiffness variation the tire will produce in one revolution under a constant load. Radial force variation is what the vehicle feels because the load (weight) of the vehicle is always on the tires. Although free runout of tires (not under load) is not always a good indicator of a smooth ride, it is critical that total tire/wheel assembly runout be within specification. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 loads the tire, similar to on the vehicle, and measures radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Note that the wheel is affecting the tire's RFV measurement at this point. To isolate the wheel, its runout must be measured. This can be easily done on the Hunter, without the need to set up dial indicators. If the wheel meets the runout specification, the tire's RFV can then be addressed. After measuring the tire/wheel assembly under load, and the wheel alone, the machine then calculates (predicts) the radial force variation of the tire. However, because this is a prediction that can include mounting inaccuracies, and the load wheel is much smaller in diameter than used in tire production, this type of service equipment should NOT be used to audit new tires. Rather, it should be used as a service diagnostic tool to minimize radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 does an excellent job of measuring wheel runout, and of finding the low point of the wheel (for runout) and the high point of the tire (for radial force variation). This allows the tire to be matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly force variation. The machine will simplify this process into easy steps. The following assembly radial force variation numbers should be used as a guide: When measuring RFV and match mounting tires perform the following steps. Measuring Wheel Runout and Assembly Radial Force Variation Important The completed worksheet at the end of this bulletin must be attached to the hard copy of the repair order. - Measure radial force variation and radial runout. - If a road force/balancing machine is used, record the radial force variation (RFV) on the worksheet at the end of this bulletin. It may be of benefit to have the lowest RFV assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires onto the subject vehicle. - If a runout/balancing machine is used, record the radial runout of the tire/wheel assemblies on the worksheet at the end of this bulletin. If one or more of the tire/wheel assemblies are more than.040 in (1.02 mm), match mount the tire to the wheel to get below.040 in (1.02 mm). For sensitive customers, readings of 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) or less are preferable, it may also be of benefit to have the lowest runout assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires Page 7262 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 6000 Page 11053 11.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 4519 Page 1999 Listed are Registered Trademarks ((R)) or Non-Registered Trademarks ((TM)) which may appear in this service data.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 12143 Important: The optic cable must not be bent with a radius less than 25 mm (1 in). 6.17.

Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they become necessary. Important: Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be transferred if one or more wheels are replaced. TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)). Important: ^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut. Notice: ^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps. These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals. On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in). For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order and use. Disclaimer Page 11496 For vehicles repairs under warranty, use the table.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to adjust the title and Include Warranty Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-06-02-006C (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System). Coolant Reimbursement Policy General Motors supports the use of recycled engine coolant for warranty repairs/service, providing a GM approved engine coolant recycling system is used. Recycled coolant will be reimbursed at the GMSPO dealer price for new coolant plus the appropriate mark-up. When coolant replacement is required during a warranty repair, it is crucial that only the relative amount of engine coolant concentrate be charged, not the total diluted volume. In other words: if you are using two gallons of pre-diluted (50:50) recycled engine coolant to service a vehicle, you may request reimbursement for one gallon of GM Goodwrench engine coolant concentrate at the dealer price plus the appropriate warranty parts handling allowance. Licensed Approved DEX-COOL(R) Providers Important: USE OF NON-APPROVED VIRGIN OR RECYCLED DEX-COOL(R) OR DEVIATIONS IN THE FORM OF ALTERNATE CHEMICALS OR ALTERATION OF EQUIPMENT, WILL VOID THE GM ENDORSEMENT, MAY DEGRADE COOLANT SYSTEM INTEGRITY AND PLACE THE COOLING SYSTEM WARRANTY UNDER JEOPARDY. Shown in Table 1 are the only current licensed and approved providers of DEX-COOL(R). Products that are advertised as "COMPATIBLE" or "RECOMMENDED" for use with DEX-COOL(R) have not been tested or approved by General Motors. Non-approved coolants may degrade the Page 4141 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 576 3. The transmitter will need to be programmed after replacement. Refer to Control Module References for programming and setup information. Disclaimer Page 4781 Page 5183 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 12553 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 10888 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 12110 Diagnostic Tips Review # 3 - Denso Navigation Radios Page 1486 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals.

Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3. Use the proper pick or removal tool (1) in order to release the terminal. Page 6172 Conversion - English/Metric Part 1 Page 4491 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 3642 Page 9091 Page 11191 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown. Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4.

Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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.

Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 2053 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 1235 Under I/P Left Of Break Pedal Page 5637 Metric Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development METRIC PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Page 11903 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 3806 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 4409 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 1 Page 11432 Page 8816 3.

While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 5542 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 4095 Page 1551 Page 9993 Steering - Snap/Pop Noise When Turning Steering Wheel Tie Rod Boot: All Technical Service Bulletins Steering - Snap/Pop Noise When Turning Steering Wheel Bulletin No.: 06-02-32-005 Date: May 03, 2006 TECHNICAL Subject: Snap/Pop Type Noise During Steering Wheel Rotation (Replace Inner Tie Rod Boot) Models Condition Some customers may comment about a snap or pop type noise coming from the front of the vehicle. This noise usually occurs during steering wheel rotation. Cause The cause of this condition may be due to the inner tie rod boot collapsing unevenly, allowing for contact between the inner tie rod and the boot. This condition is sometimes referred to as "snaking." Diagnosis If unsure the noise is coming from the inner tie rod boot(s), have an assistant rotate the steering wheel from lock to lock with the engine off. Place your fingertips on the inner tie rod boot. If the boot is contacting the inner tie rod, that contact will be transmitted to your fingertips.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM 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.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 765 Page 8066 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 939 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice.

IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 12234 The control module ID number list above provides a method for determining which module is not communicating.

Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 5135 Disclaimer Page 6235 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 5466 Page 9231 C208 I/P Harness to Body Harness C214 Body Harness to Console Harness (Without RPO Code UK6,U32) Page 11210 Page 3684 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 4940 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern.

A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 6160 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 1490 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. Tyco/AMP Connectors (CM 42-Way) TYCO/AMP CONNECTORS (CM 42-WAY) TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 13963 8.

Tighten the bolts and nuts to 60 Nm (44 ft. lbs.) plus an additional 60 degrees. 11. Install the lower control arms. 12. Install the rear wheels. 13. Lower the vehicle. 14. Adjust the rear alignment. Page 4900 Page 4581 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 973 Page 4823 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 11878 OnStar(R) - Number Incorrect/Incorrectly Assigned Navigation System: Customer Interest OnStar(R) - Number Incorrect/Incorrectly Assigned INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 05-08-46-004C Date: December 23, 2010 Subject: OnStar(R) Phone Number Concerns (Phone Number Incorrect/Assigned to Another Vehicle/Phone) That Occur During Diagnosis of OnStar(R) System Models: 2000-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks Equipped with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years up to 2011.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 257 Page 1582 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 4648 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE IMPORTANT: A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of a liquid graphite and glass beads. The graphite will burn away but the glass beads will remain, making the sensor easier to remove. New or service sensors already have the compound applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed and is to be reinstalled, the threads must be coated with an anti-seize compound before reinstallation. Page 39 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 12780 ^ SP303 The following modules, components, and splice pack are connected to the star portion of the class 2 serial data circuit: ^ SP300 ^ Audio amplifier ^ Driver door module (DDM) ^ Driver door switch assembly (DDSA) ^ Memory seat module (MSM) ^ Left rear door module (LRDM) AND ^ SP303 ^ Antenna module ^ Front passenger door module (FPDM) ^ Rear integration module (RIM) ^ Right rear door module (RRDM) ^ Theft deterrent module (TDM) ^ Vehicle communication interface module (VCIM). Refer to Data Communication Schematics and Data Link Communications Description and Operation in SI. Part 2 Conditions for Running the DTC Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts. DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current. The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTC A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5 seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication. Action Taken When the DTC Sets The module uses a default value for the missing parameter. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. Diagnostic Aids When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or U1255 is set. OnStar(R) - Number Incorrect/Incorrectly Assigned Emergency Contact Module: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Number Incorrect/Incorrectly Assigned INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 05-08-46-004C Date: December 23, 2010 Subject: OnStar(R) Phone Number Concerns (Phone Number Incorrect/Assigned to Another Vehicle/Phone) That Occur During Diagnosis of OnStar(R) System Models: 2000-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks Equipped with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years up to 2011.

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.

Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 11528 Important: Secure the wiring harness so that there is no risk of chafing or rattling. 6.1.

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. Disclaimer Page 1747 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

The control module uses the KS system to test for abnormal engine noise that may indicate detonation, also known as spark knock. SENSOR DESCRIPTION This KS system uses one or two flat response two-wire sensors. The sensor uses piezo-electric crystal technology that produces an 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 KS detects. The control module receives the KS signal through a signal circuit. The KS ground is supplied by the control module through a low reference circuit. The control module learns a minimum noise level, or background noise, at idle from the KS and uses calibrated values for the rest of the RPM range. The control module uses the minimum noise level to calculate a noise channel. A normal KS signal will ride within the noise channel. As engine speed and load change, the noise channel upper and lower parameters will change to accommodate the normal KS signal, keeping the signal within the channel. In order to determine which cylinders are knocking, the control module only uses KS signal information when each cylinder is near top dead center (TDC) of the firing stroke. If knock is present, the signal will range outside of the noise channel. If the control module has determined that knock is present, it will retard the ignition timing to attempt to eliminate the knock. The control module will always try to work back to a zero compensation level, or no spark retard. An abnormal KS signal will stay outside of the noise channel or will not be present. KS diagnostics are calibrated to detect faults with the KS circuitry inside the control module, the KS wiring, or the KS voltage output. Some diagnostics are also calibrated to detect constant noise from an outside influence such as a loose/damaged component or excessive engine mechanical noise. Page 6882 Page 6857 1.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes.

Brake Caliper Bleeder Valve-Rear ........................................................................................................................................................ 11 Nm (97 inch lbs.) Page 2467 Alignment: Description and Operation Caster Description Caster Description Caster is the tilting of the uppermost point of the steering axis either forward or backward, when viewed from the side of the vehicle. A backward tilt is positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-). Caster influences directional control of the steering but does not affect the tire wear. Caster is affected by the vehicle height, therefore it is important to keep the body at its designed height. Overloading the vehicle or a weak or sagging rear spring will affect caster. When the rear of the vehicle is lower than its designated trim height, the front suspension moves to a more positive caster. If the rear of the vehicle is higher than its designated trim height, the front suspension moves to a less positive caster. With too little positive caster, steering may be touchy at high speed and wheel returnability may be diminished when coming out of a turn. If one wheel has more positive caster than the other, that wheel will pull toward the center of the vehicle. This condition will cause the vehicle to pull or lead to the side with the least amount of positive caster. Camber Description Camber Description Camber is the tilting of the wheels from the vertical when viewed from the front of the vehicle. When the wheels tilt outward at the top, the camber is positive (+). When the wheel tilts inward at the top, the camber is negative (-). The amount of tilt is measured in degrees from the vertical. Camber settings influence the directional control and the tire wear. Too much positive camber will result in premature wear on the outside of the tire and cause excessive wear on the suspension parts. Too much negative camber will result in premature wear on the inside of the tire and cause excessive wear on the suspension parts. Unequal side-to-side camber of 1 degree or more will cause the vehicle to pull or lead to the side with the most positive camber. Toe Description Page 10995 2.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 9357 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals.

Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3.

This bulletin is intended to quickly review and reinforce simple but vital procedures to reduce the possibility of achieving low torque during wheel installation. Always refer to SI for wheel lug nut torque specifications and complete jacking instructions for safe wheel changing. Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to include the 2011 model year and update the available special tool list. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-03-10-010 (Section 03 Suspension). Frequency of Wheel Changes - Marketplace Driven Just a few years ago, the increasing longevity of tires along with greater resistance to punctures had greatly reduced the number of times wheels were removed to basically required tire rotation intervals. Today with the booming business in accessory wheels/special application tires (such as winter tires), consumers are having tire/wheel assemblies removed - replaced - or installed more than ever. With this increased activity, it opens up more of a chance for error on the part of the technician. This bulletin will review a few of the common concerns and mistakes to make yourself aware of. Proper Servicing Starts With the Right Tools The following tools have been made available to assist in proper wheel and tire removal and installation. - J 41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent) - J 42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent) Corroded Surfaces One area of concern is corrosion on the mating surfaces of the wheel to the hub on the vehicle. Excessive corrosion, dirt, rust or debris built up on these surfaces can mimic a properly tightened wheel in the service stall. Once the vehicle is driven, the debris may loosen, grind up or be washed away from water splash. This action may result in clearance at the mating surface of the wheel and an under-torqued condition. Caution Before installing a wheel, remove any buildup on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or brake disc mounting surface. Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This may cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is moving, possibly resulting in a loss of control or personal injury. Whenever you remove the tire/wheel assemblies, you must inspect the mating surfaces. If corrosion is found, you should remove the debris with a die grinder equipped with a fine sanding pad, wire brush or cleaning disc. Just remove enough material to assure a clean, smooth mating surface. The J 41013 (or equivalent) can be used to clean the following surfaces: - The hub mounting surface - The brake rotor mounting surface - The wheel mounting surface Use the J 42450-A (or equivalent) to clean around the base of the studs and the hub.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Install the flywheel bolts. ^ Tighten the flywheel bolts to 53 Nm (39 ft. lbs.) plus 25 degrees. 3. Install the transmission. Page 2966 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 Page 7773 Page 9230 C207 I/P Harness to Body Harness Page 2545 The numbers below refer to the step number on the diagnostic table. 2. The noise may not be engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If the engine is not making the noise do not proceed further with this table. 3. The noise may be an internal engine noise. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine for a brief period will verify the noise is related to the drive belt. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed. 4. Inspect all drive belt pulleys for pilling. Pilling is the small balls or pills or it 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 misalign pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across 2 or 3 pulleys. If a misalign pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley. 10. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer was installed. 12. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is used to drive the pulley. 14. Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged or there is not excessive pilling will only be a temporary repair. Drive Belt Excessive Wear Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis Diagnostic Aids 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. Page 11972 Global Positioning System Module: Service and Repair Communication Interface Module Replacement COMMUNICATION INTERFACE MODULE REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE IMPORTANT: The communication interface module has a specific set of unique numbers that tie the module to each vehicle. These numbers, the 10-digit station identification and the 11-digit electronic serial number, are used by the National Cellular Network and OnStar to identify the specific vehicle.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Body - Liftgate May Relatch When Using Power Release Trunk / Liftgate Latch: Customer Interest Body - Liftgate May Relatch When Using Power Release Bulletin No.: 04-08-66-011A Date: May 22, 2006 ADVANCE SERVICE INFORMATION RESOLUTION Subject: Liftgate May Relatch After Opening with Power Release (Inspect Latch/Replace Rear Liftgate Latch Assist Spring) Models: 2004-2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add Correction, Parts and Warranty Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-08-66-011 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment that after using the power release, the rear liftgate may still be latched and have to be released again in order to open. Cause After the liftgate is released and the driver or passenger exit, in most cases one of the passenger doors is then closed. This action creates a rush of air that raises the liftgate slightly. If another door is then opened quickly, the resulting vacuum may pull the liftgate down and engage the latch. Correction Between 2004 and SOP 2006 there are three different build configurations for the rear latch bracket assembly. These changes consist of a new latch assembly during 2005 with an assist spring, and a stronger spring for SOP 2006 which require no further action. Depending on the date of manufacture, follow the instructions below. 2004 Model Year Vehicles Vehicles built for the 2004 model year cannot be altered. No attempt should be made to change any components. These vehicles were built with the original latch configuration which will not accept a latch assist spring. If the customer encounters this concern stress the location of the touch pad under the lip of the liftgate. This pad will electrically release the hatch, minimizing customer inconvenience. 2005 Model Year Vehicles up to VIN Breakpoint 5F232876 Starting on 1/17/2005, the rear liftgate latch was installed with a 6 lb force assist spring in the latch assembly. Open the liftgate and visually inspect the latch. If a spring is visible, refer to the repair procedure section below and replace the spring with an 8 lb force spring, P/N 15866297. Under some conditions with multiple occupant door opening and closings, it is still possible in rare instances, even with this heavier rate spring installed, that the customer may experience a relatch of the rear liftgate. This is normal. Vehicles built between SOP 2005 and 1/17/05 (VIN breakpoint 5F232875) may have been built with the revised latch bracket, but without a spring installed. Page 4345 1.

Disclaimer Testing and Inspection Main Relay (Computer/Fuel System): Testing and Inspection POWERTRAIN RELAY DIAGNOSIS CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The powertrain relay is a normally open relay. The relay armature is held in the open position by spring tension. Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the relay coil and the armature contact at all times. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies the ground path to the relay coil control circuit, via an internal integrated circuit called an output driver module (ODM). When the PCM commands the relay ON, the relay coil creates an electromagnetic field. This electromagnetic field overcomes the spring tension and pulls the armature contact into the stationary contact of the relay load circuit. The closing of the relay contacts allows current to flow from the battery to the following fuses and relay. The ETC FUSE - The EMISSION FUSE - The A/C CLUTCH RELAY When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, power is interrupted to the output driver module in the PCM, and the relay electromagnetic field collapses. This action allows the spring tension pulling on the armature to separate from the relay load circuit contact, which interrupts current flow to the fuses and relay. If the powertrain relay fails to close the engine will crank, but may or may not run. The class II communications will be available with the use of a scan tool. The powertrain relay system diagnosis table assumes that the vehicle battery is fully charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test in Starting and Charging. See: Starting and Charging/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Battery Inspection/Test TEST Page 5882 Body Control Module(BCM) C4 Part 3 Page 1815 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one.

Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 4931 Page 11162 Front Impact Bar Page 9405 Page 4189 1.

The vehicle must be upgraded to reactivate the account. The customer will hear a demo message stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services. ^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed. Note For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation. Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription. OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure, the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS. The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID (MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers. The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure, or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data. During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing. Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device identification, call routing and connection. They are: ^ A mobile identification number (MIN) ^ A mobile directory number (MDN) Note The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device. Diagnostic Information Symptoms - Cellular Communication The following steps must be completed before using the symptom table. 1. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle, before using the Symptom Tables in order to verify that the following are true: ^ There are no DTCs set. ^ The control modules can communicate via the serial data link. 2.

Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal (1) out the front of the connector body (3). Page 2468 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. 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. 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. Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors: ^ Tire construction ^ Wheel alignment Page 3151 4.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 9322 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. Page 2108 Locations Right Rear Of Engine Compartment Page 6477 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6.

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 13144 Page 2761 Body Control Module (BCM) - Bottom View Page 9107 Page 6504 Page 2120 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 1203 Rear Window Wiper Module (With RPO Code C25) OnStar(R) - Analog/Digital System Information Emergency Contact Module: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Analog/Digital System Information INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 06-08-46-008C Date: September 18, 2008 Subject: Information on OnStar(R) Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital) Systems Models Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to correct the model year range for the Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo and update the reference to GM Dealerworld.

You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 7591 5.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 14055 5. Install the LH door trim panel (2). 6. Connect the roof rail module-left connector to the vehicle harness connector. 7.

Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2.

Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 5937 Prep the vehicle for PCM / ECM replacement.

Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors: ^ Tire construction Variability in the tire construction may produce lead/pull. The rear tires will not cause lead/pull. ^ Wheel alignment ^ Brake Drag ^ Unbalanced steering gear Visual/Physical Inspection ^ Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of any of the suspension sub-systems. ^ Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom. ^ Inspect for proper tire size and inflation pressure. ^ Inspect for abnormal tire wear. Vehicle Leads/Pulls Alignment Diagnosis and Repair Front cross-caster and front cross-camber are the only wheel alignment parameters that influence lead or pull. If the vehicle leads/pulls to the left after performing the steps listed in SI Document ID, and the front wheel alignment parameters are found to be in specification, adjust the front left and/or right camber to achieve a cross-camber of -0.50° to -0.75°. Refer to Front Camber Adjustment, SI Document. The cross-camber is the difference between the left side camber and the right side camber (cross-camber = LH camber-RH camber). Positive cross-camber may cause the vehicle to pull to the left. For example: If the vehicle pulls to the left, adjust the cross-camber more negative and vice-versa. Steering Position and Torque Sensor Calibration Important: ONLY perform the steering position sensor and torque sensor recalibration procedure after the tires, suspension and alignment specifications have been inspected and/or corrected and the vehicle still exhibits a lead or pull condition. Failure to do so may result in additional customer lead and or pull concerns. Page 1992 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 1 Page 5975 3.

The BCM monitors the ignition switch position, battery condition and passenger compartment doors status to determine whether RAP should be initiated. The modules then support the operation of the systems under their control as required by their RAP power mode operation. RAP will end when one of the following conditions is met: The BCM receives an input indicating the opening of any compartment door. - The BCM internal timer for the RAP expires after approximately 10 minutes. - The BCM detects a decrease in battery capacity below a prescribed limit. - The Radio uses an exclusive RAP message that can not be circumvented by any door but the drives door. The BCM then sends a serial data power mode message ending the RAP function. The radio is the only module that is controlled by the serial data circuits.

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 Page 7157 Page 9824 11.

Start the engine, warm up the transaxle, and check for leaks. 9. Inspect for proper fluid level. Page 3246 The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. This inspection is to verify the condition of the drive belt. Damage may of occurred to the drive belt when the drive belt fell off. The drive belt may of been damaged, which caused the drive belt to fall off. Inspect the belt for cuts, tears, sections of ribs missing, or damaged belt plys. 4. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure of that pulley. 5. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is used to drive the pulley. 6. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked 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. Drive Belt Rumbling Drive Belt Rumbling Diagnosis Diagnostic Aids Vibration from the engine operating may cause a body component or another part of the vehicle to make rumbling noise. The drive belt may have a condition that can not be seen or felt. Sometimes replacing the drive belt may be the only repair for the symptom. If replacing the drive belt, completing the diagnostic table, and the noise is only heard when the drive belt is installed, there might be an accessory drive component with a failure. Varying the load on the different accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is causing the rumbling noise. Test Description Page 7037 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Cause This condition may be caused by the door check link spring saddle. Correction Important: To prevent overspray from landing on the door glass, make sure all windows are rolled up before applying the lubricant to the check link. Slide the check link grommet back and spray GM Lubriplate(R) Lubricant, P/N 89021668 (in Canada, use P/N 89021674), or equivalent, on the check link saddle using a "straw" type nozzle extension. The nozzle extension should be inserted slightly into the opening above the check link arm and sprayed toward the outside of the door. If the nozzle is inserted too far into the door, it will go past the check link spring saddle and the lubricant will miss its target. Move the nozzle back and forth while spraying to distribute the lubricant. Open and shut the door until the noise is gone. Reinstall the check link grommet in the door.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 4397 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in: Service Engine Soon (SES) light on Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s) Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur. When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the concern. The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty. If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs. Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not considered to be warrantable repair items. Page 11059 5. Locate and remove the AIR BAG (IGN) and AIR BAG (BATT) fuses from the BCM fuse center. IMPORTANT: This inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) has two fused power inputs.

If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Tire Monitor System - TPM Sensor Information Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Technical Service Bulletins Tire Monitor System TPM Sensor Information INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 08-03-16-003 Date: May 12, 2008 Subject: Warranty Reduction - Transfer of Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensors to Replacement Wheels and Allowable TPM Sensor Replacements Models: 2000-2009 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2009 HUMMER H2 2006-2009 HUMMER H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7x with On-Wheel TPM Sensors TPM Sensor / Wheel Warranty Reviews During the last warranty review period it was noted that wheels being returned under the GM New Vehicle Warranty were being shipped back to General Motors with the TPM sensor still attached to the wheel. Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they become necessary. Important: Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be transferred if one or more wheels are replaced. TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)). Important: ^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut. Notice: ^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps. These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals. On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in). For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order and use. Disclaimer Page 921 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 7210 Page 7537 Metric Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development METRIC PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Page 10438 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 9365 2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece. The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such. 3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover removal procedures may vary. 6.

Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 13710 2.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 7412 Page 6246 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 11271 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 4217 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 3595 Page 14189 Page 8863 Positive: Vehicle Damage Warnings BATTERY DISCONNECT CAUTION CAUTION: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components. Page 5915 Important: Saturn U.S. retailers must verify recall involvement by running a National Vehicle History (NVH) prior to performing repairs.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 9427 Location View Location View Page 285 Involved are certain vehicles within the VIN breakpoints shown above. PARTS INFORMATION -- Saab US Only Customer Notification General Motors will notify customers of this special coverage on their vehicles (see copy of typical customer letter shown in this bulletin - actual divisional letter may vary slightly). Page 7334 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown. Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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 Page 1015 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 6230 Knock Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 282 Page 4305 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 9208 C101LF Wheel Speed Sensor Jumper Harness to Body Harness (With RPO Code JL9) C102 RF Wheel Speed Sensor Jumper Harness to Body Harness (With RPO Code JL9) Procedures Body Control Module: Procedures BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) PROGRAMMING/RPO CONFIGURATION A new body control module (BCM) must be programmed with the proper regular production option (RPO) configurations. The BCM stores the information regarding the vehicle options and if the BCM is not properly configured with the correct RPO codes the BCM will not control all of the features properly. The Tech 2 software will automatically prompt you with the various RPO's available for the vehicle. Ensure that the following conditions exist in order to prepare for BCM programming: 1. This entire procedure has been reviewed before starting 2. The battery is fully charged. 3. A CANdi module is installed between the vehicle and the scan tool. 4. The ignition switch is in the ON position. 5. The data link connector (DLC) is accessible. 6. All disconnected modules and devices are reconnected before programming. BCM Programming IMPORTANT: Use extreme care when verifying both the VIN and Odometer reading that is set in the service BCM. Once the VIN and Odometer are set in the replacement BCM it is impossible to change them, and if there is a mismatch, the part will be rendered useless. To setup a new replacement BCM select Vehicle Control Systems, then navigate to Computer/Integrating Systems, once in the Computer/Integrating Systems menu select Module Replacement/Setup and follow the instructions on the scan tool. After the setup procedure it is necessary to perform the Remote Start setup procedure and BPP Sensor Calibration procedure. Refer to the important's below for further information. If the BCM fails to accept the program, perform the following steps: Inspect all BCM connections. - Verify that the scan tool has the latest software version.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in: Service Engine Soon (SES) light on Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s) Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur. When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the concern. The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty. If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs. Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not considered to be warrantable repair items. Page 5706 5.

The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3. Use the proper pick or removal tool (1) in order to release the terminal. Page 979 Powertrain Control Module (PCM) C2 Part 2 Page 6383 Page 7585 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 4978 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 1832 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 6569 Parts Information Warranty Information Page 5067 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. OnStar(R) - Analog/Digital Ready System Digital Upgrade Technical Service Bulletin # 05-08-46-006Q Date: 081028 OnStar(R) - Analog/Digital Ready System Digital Upgrade INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 05-08-46-006Q Date: October 28, 2008 Subject: Information on Upgrading Certain OnStar(R) Analog/Digital-Ready Systems to OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable System Models Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the upgrade kit installation information for the 2001 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire.

I will ensure that the following information is obtained prior to releasing any Key Code information: 1. Government issued picture ID (Drivers License) 2. Registration or other proof of ownership. Registration should have normal markings from the Province that issued the registration and possibly the receipt for payment recorded as well. Important - GM takes this agreement seriously. Each user must be certain of vehicle ownership before giving out key codes. - When the ownership of the vehicle is in doubt, dealership personnel should not provide the information. Key code requests should never be received via a fax or the internet and key codes should never be provided to anyone in this manner. A face to face contact with the owner of the vehicle is the expected manner that dealers will use to release a key code or as otherwise stipulated in this bulletin or other materials. - Key codes should NEVER be sent via a fax or the internet. - Each Dealership should create a permanent file to document all KeyCode Look Up transactions. Requests should be filed by VIN and in each folder retain copies of the following: - Government issued picture ID (Drivers License) - Registration or other proof of ownership. - Copy of the paid customer receipt which has the name of the employee who cut and sold the key to the customer. - Do not put yourself or your Dealership in the position of needing to "explain" a KeyCode Look Up to either GM or law enforcement officials. - Dealership Management has the ability to review all KeyCode Look-Up transactions. - Dealership KeyCode documentation must be retained for two years. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for GM of Canada Dealers How do I request a KeyCode for customer owned vehicle that is not registered? Scrapped, salvaged or stored vehicles that do not have a current registration should still have the ownership verified by requesting the vehicle title, current insurance policy and / or current lien holder information from the customers financing source. If you cannot determine if the customer is the owner of the vehicle, do not provide the key code information. In these cases, a short description of the vehicle (scrapped, salvaged, etc.) and the dealership location should be kept on file. Any clarifying explanation should be entered into the comments field. How do I document a KeyCode request for a vehicle that is being repossessed? The repossessor must document ownership of the vehicle by providing a court ordered repossession order and lien-holder documents prior to providing key code information. Copies of the repossessors Drivers License and a business card should be retained by the dealership for documentation. What do I do if the registration information is locked in the vehicle? Every effort should be made to obtain complete information for each request. Each Dealership will have to decide on a case by case basis if enough information is available to verify the customer's ownership of the vehicle. Other forms of documentation include vehicle title, insurance policy, and or current lien information from the customers financing source. Dealership Management must be involved in any request without complete information. If you cannot determine if the customer is the owner of the vehicle, do not provide the key code information. Can I get a print out of the information on the screen? It is important to note that the Key Code Look Up Search Results contain sensitive and/or proprietary information. For this reason GM recommends against printing it. If the Search Results must be printed, store and/or dispose of the printed copy properly to minimize the risk of improper or illegal use. Who in the dealership has access to the KeyCode application? Dealership Parts Manager (or assigned management) will determine, and control, who is authorized to access the KeyCode Look Up application. However, we anticipate that dealership parts and service management will be the primary users of the application. The KeyCode Look Up application automatically tracks each user activity session. Information tracked by the system includes: User name, User ID, all other entered data and the date/time of access. Page 11278 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 12390 Page 9298 Tighten Tighten to 8 Nm (71 lb in). 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 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.

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. 4. Drill a 10 mm (0.40 in) diameter hole through the panel. Page 3237 Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Excessive Wear Drive Belt Excessive Wear Diagnosis Diagnostic Aids Excessive wear on a drive belt is usually caused by 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. 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. 3. The installation of a drive belt that is two wide or two narrow will cause wear on the drive belt. The drive belt ribs should match all of the grooves on all of the pulleys. 4. This inspection is to verify the drive belt 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. Page 4637 4. Gently pull the cable and the terminal (2) out of the back of the connector. 5. Re-form the locking device if you are going to reuse the terminal (1). 6. To repair the terminal, refer to Terminal Repair. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. Slip the cable seal away from the terminal. 2. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 3. Slip a new cable seal onto the wire. 4. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 5. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 6. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. 7. Slide the cable seal toward the terminal. 8. Crimp the cable seal and the insulation. 9. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply grease to the connector. REINSTALLING TERMINAL 1. In order to reuse a terminal or lead assembly. Refer to Wiring Repairs . 2. Ensure that the cable seal is kept on the terminal side of the splice. 3. Insert the lead from the back until it catches. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Pull to Seat Connectors PULL TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should be replaced. Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors: 1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into the front of the connector body. 5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal (1) out the front of the connector body (3). Page 7123 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Electrical - Instrument Panel & General Wiring Repair Wiring Harness: All Technical Service Bulletins Electrical - Instrument Panel & General Wiring Repair Bulletin No.: 06-08-45-004 Date: May 02, 2006 INFORMATION Subject: Instrument Panel (I/P), Body and General Wiring Harness Repair Models: 2007 and Prior GM Cars and Trucks 2003-2007 HUMMER H2 2006-2007 HUMMER H3 Important: A part restriction has been implemented on all Body and I/P harnesses and is being administered by the PQC. If a body or I/P harness replacement is required, it can take 12-28 weeks for a harness to be built and delivered to a dealer. The dealer technician is expected to repair any harness damage as the first and best choice before replacing a harness. In an effort to standardize repair practices, General Motors is requiring that all wiring harnesses be repaired instead of replaced. If there is a question concerning which connector and/or terminal you are working on, refer to the information in the appropriate Connector End Views in SI. The Instruction Manual J 38125-620, which is sent with each new update of the J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit, also has terminal crimping and terminal remove information. Important: There are some parts in the J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit (i.e. SIR connector CPAs and heat shrink tube (used in high heat area pigtail replacement) and some TPAs that are not available from GMSPO. It is vitally important that each update to the J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit be done as soon as it arrives at the dealer. Utilize the Terminal Repair Kit (J 38125) to achieve an effective wiring repair. The Terminal Repair Kit has been an essential tool for all GM Dealers since 1987. Replacement terminals and tools for this kit are available through SPX/Kent Moore. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-45-001 for more information. The Instruction Manual J 38125-620, which is sent with each new update to the J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit, also has terminal crimping and terminal removal information.

Disclaimer Page 1558 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7.

Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 7837 Case: Service and Repair Case Side Cover Replacement Removal Procedure 1.

Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 4964 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 4965 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10.

If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 11005 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Service and Repair Passenger Assist Handle: Service and Repair Assist Handle Replacement Removal Procedure 1.

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 6074 3. Use a small flat-bladed tool to gently pry off the dress cover by inserting the tool under the cover opposite the harness side and prying up. 4. Remove the cover. 5. Using a small flat-bladed tool, push on the side of the nose piece retainer while pushing the nose piece forward with your thumb. This will release the terminal position assurance (TPA). 6. Insert the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) into the corresponding terminal release cavity. The release cavities are the 2 center rows of cavities on one half of the connector. Page 7249 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 2766 Application Table Part 2 Body Control Module(BCM) - Top View Page 9397 Page 9381 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 1 Page 5921 Page 2300 1.

If any scratching or scoring is found, then the fingernail test will need to be performed. Important: It has been found that in most cases that the scratches are not severe enough to catch your fingernail. 4. Using your fingernail, move over any scratches to see if your nail will catch on the scratch or score. - If your nail catches in the scratches, the valve will need to be replaced. - If your nail does not catch in the scratches, continue with the next step. 6. Important: Clean the valve body with the machined side down so debris may escape. 7. Clean the valve and bore using brake cleaner. 8. Blow off with shop air. 9. To verify free movement of the valve, dip the valve into clean ATF and install the valve back into the appropriate bore. The valve should move freely. If the valve moves freely, in most cases the valve body will function properly when reinstalled. 10.

Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 1048 Page 1704 Knock Sensor: Description and Operation KNOCK SENSOR (KS) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION PURPOSE The knock sensor (KS) system enables the control module to control the ignition timing for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from potentially damaging levels of detonation. The control module uses the KS system to test for abnormal engine noise that may indicate detonation, also known as spark knock. SENSOR DESCRIPTION This KS system uses one or two flat response two-wire sensors. The sensor uses piezo-electric crystal technology that produces an 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 KS detects. The control module receives the KS signal through a signal circuit. The KS ground is supplied by the control module through a low reference circuit. The control module learns a minimum noise level, or background noise, at idle from the KS and uses calibrated values for the rest of the RPM range. The control module uses the minimum noise level to calculate a noise channel. A normal KS signal will ride within the noise channel. As engine speed and load change, the noise channel upper and lower parameters will change to accommodate the normal KS signal, keeping the signal within the channel. In order to determine which cylinders are knocking, the control module only uses KS signal information when each cylinder is near top dead center (TDC) of the firing stroke. If knock is present, the signal will range outside of the noise channel. If the control module has determined that knock is present, it will retard the ignition timing to attempt to eliminate the knock. The control module will always try to work back to a zero compensation level, or no spark retard. An abnormal KS signal will stay outside of the noise channel or will not be present. KS diagnostics are calibrated to detect faults with the KS circuitry inside the control module, the KS wiring, or the KS voltage output. Some diagnostics are also calibrated to detect constant noise from an outside influence such as a loose/damaged component or excessive engine mechanical noise. Page 7008 Page 9530 C300 Body Harness to Drivers Seat Harness Page 5628 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Page 9389 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 954 Conversion - English/Metric Part 2 Diagnostic Work Sheets DIAGNOSTIC WORK SHEETS The GM Diagnostic Worksheet has been designed to improve communications between the service customer and the technician.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

The TAC system performs the following functions: Accelerator pedal position (APP) sensing - Throttle positioning to meet driver and engine demands - Throttle position (TP) sensing - Internal diagnostics - Cruise control functions - Manage TAC electrical power consumption The TAC system includes the following components: The APP sensors - The throttle body assembly - The powertrain control module (PCM) ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR The accelerator pedal contains 2 individual accelerator pedal position (APP) sensors within the assembly. The APP sensors 1 and 2 are potentiometer type sensors each with 3 circuits: A 5-volt reference circuit - A low reference circuit - A signal circuit The APP sensors are used to determine the pedal angle. The powertrain control module (PCM) provides each APP sensor a 5-volt reference circuit and a low reference circuit. The APP sensors provide the PCM with signal voltage proportional to the pedal movement. The APP sensor 1 signal voltage at rest position is near the low reference and increases as the pedal is actuated. The APP sensor 2 signal voltage at rest position is near the 5-volt reference and decreases as the pedal is actuated. THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY The throttle assembly contains the following components: The throttle blade - The throttle actuator motor - The throttle position (TP) sensor 1 and 2 The throttle body functions similar to a conventional throttle body with the following exceptions: An electric motor opens and closes the throttle valve. - The throttle blade is spring loaded in both directions and the default position is slightly open. - There are 2 individual TP sensors within the throttle body assembly. The TP sensors are used to determine the throttle plate angle. The TP sensors provide the powertrain control module (PCM) with a signal voltage proportional to throttle plate movement. The TP sensor 1 signal voltage at closed throttle is near the 5-volt reference and decreases as the throttle plate is opened. The TP sensor 2 signal voltage at closed throttle is near the low reference and increases as the throttle plate is opened. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE The powertrain control module (PCM) is the control center for the throttle actuator control (TAC) system. The PCM determines the drivers intent and then calculates the appropriate throttle response. The PCM achieves throttle positioning by providing a pulse width modulated voltage to the TAC motor. MODES OF OPERATION Normal Mode During the operation of the throttle actuator control (TAC) system, several modes or functions are considered normal. The following modes may be entered during normal operation: Minimum pedal value-At key-up the powertrain control module (PCM) updates the learned minimum pedal value. - Minimum throttle position (TP) values-At key-up the PCM updates the learned minimum TP value. In order to learn the minimum TP value, the throttle blade is moved to the closed position. - Ice break mode-If the throttle is not able to reach a predetermined minimum TP, the ice break mode is entered. During the ice break mode, the PCM 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 PCM commands the battery saver mode. During the battery saver mode, the TAC module removes the voltage from the motor control circuits, which removes the current draw used to maintain the idle position and allows the throttle to return to the spring loaded default position. Page 4865 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. Tyco/AMP Connectors (CM 42-Way) TYCO/AMP CONNECTORS (CM 42-WAY) TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1. Locate the connector position assurance (CPA) on the connector body and pull the CPA out. The CPA is on the wire harness side of connector. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 6238 4. Gently pull the cable and the terminal (2) out of the back of the connector. 5. Re-form the locking device if you are going to reuse the terminal (1). 6. To repair the terminal, refer to Terminal Repair. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. Slip the cable seal away from the terminal. 2. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 3. Slip a new cable seal onto the wire. 4. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 5. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 6. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. 7. Slide the cable seal toward the terminal. 8. Crimp the cable seal and the insulation. 9. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply grease to the connector. REINSTALLING TERMINAL 1. In order to reuse a terminal or lead assembly. Refer to Wiring Repairs . 2. Ensure that the cable seal is kept on the terminal side of the splice. 3. Insert the lead from the back until it catches. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Pull to Seat Connectors PULL TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should be replaced. Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors: 1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into the front of the connector body. 5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal (1) out the front of the connector body (3). Page 4153 Conversion - English/Metric Part 1 Page 1603 Page 4739 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 4887 This service data uses various symbols in order to describe different service operations. Page 4753 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 171 In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this program enters your vehicle inventory, or is in your dealership/facility for service through April 30, 2011, you must take the steps necessary to be sure the program correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle. Disclaimer Service Procedure Service Procedure Note Do NOT replace the inside rear view mirror in tandem with this concern. The mirror has no bearing on this specific issue. 1. Remove the OnStar(R) module (referred to as the Communication Interface Module (CIM) or Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) in SI). Refer to SI for module removal instructions. Note Inform customer that all Bluetooth devices must be paired with the new VCIM. Bluetooth devices that have not been paired to the new VCIM will not function properly. 2. Install the new OnStar(R) module (referred to as the Communication Interface Module (CIM) or Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) in SI). Refer to SI for module installation instructions. Page 5516 Information Bus: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 9290 Important The following information MUST be documented on the repair order.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 12630 2.

Connector design and location is dictated by an industry-wide standard, and is required to provide the following: Scan tool power battery positive voltage at terminal 16 - Scan tool power ground at terminal 4 - Common signal ground at terminal 5 The scan tool will power up with the ignition OFF. Some modules, however, will not communicate unless the ignition is ON and the power mode master (PMM) module sends the appropriate power mode message. TEST DESCRIPTION Steps 1-4 The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table. 4. If the battery positive voltage and ground circuits of the DLC are functioning properly. The malfunction must be due to the scan tool. Page 9074 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 7109 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM 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.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-46-008B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). All 2000-2003 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar® from the list above were built with Analog/Digital-Ready OnStar(R) Hardware. Some of these vehicles may have been upgraded to Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital). Certain 2004-2005 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) from the list above may have been either: ^ Originally built at the factory with Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital) OnStar(R) Hardware with Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital) OnStar(R) Hardware OR ^ Upgraded to Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital) Hardware All 2006 model year and newer vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) were built at the factory with Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital) OnStar(R) Hardware. If a vehicle has Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital) OnStar(R) Hardware, then the system is capable of operating on both the analog and digital cellular Page 2449 Figure 1: Full Tread View - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear on the Shoulder/Adjacent/Center Ribs Figure 2: Tire Shoulder View Example 1 - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear on the Shoulder 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 Page 1672 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in: Service Engine Soon (SES) light on Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s) Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur. When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the concern. The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty. If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs. Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not considered to be warrantable repair items. Page 7202 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 9848 parts or damage.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 2190 BULLETIN CANCELLATION NOTIFICATION Steering Shaft: All Technical Service Bulletins BULLETIN CANCELLATION NOTIFICATION INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 08-02-34-001A Date: April 06, 2009 Subject: Servicing Intermediate Steering Shafts - DO NOT Grease Painted I-Shafts Models: 2004-2009 Chevrolet Malibu 2005-2009 Pontiac G6 2007-2009 Saturn Aura Supercede: This bulletin is being canceled.

This bulletin is intended to quickly review and reinforce simple but vital procedures to reduce the possibility of achieving low torque during wheel installation. Always refer to SI for wheel lug nut torque specifications and complete jacking instructions for safe wheel changing. Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to include the 2011 model year and update the available special tool list. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-03-10-010 (Section 03 Suspension). Frequency of Wheel Changes - Marketplace Driven Just a few years ago, the increasing longevity of tires along with greater resistance to punctures had greatly reduced the number of times wheels were removed to basically required tire rotation intervals. Today with the booming business in accessory wheels/special application tires (such as winter tires), consumers are having tire/wheel assemblies removed - replaced - or installed more than ever. With this increased activity, it opens up more of a chance for error on the part of the technician. This bulletin will review a few of the common concerns and mistakes to make yourself aware of. Proper Servicing Starts With the Right Tools The following tools have been made available to assist in proper wheel and tire removal and installation. - J 41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent) - J 42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent) Corroded Surfaces One area of concern is corrosion on the mating surfaces of the wheel to the hub on the vehicle. Excessive corrosion, dirt, rust or debris built up on these surfaces can mimic a properly tightened wheel in the service stall. Once the vehicle is driven, the debris may loosen, grind up or be washed away from water splash. This action may result in clearance at the mating surface of the wheel and an under-torqued condition. Caution Before installing a wheel, remove any buildup on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or brake disc mounting surface. Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This may cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is moving, possibly resulting in a loss of control or personal injury. Whenever you remove the tire/wheel assemblies, you must inspect the mating surfaces. If corrosion is found, you should remove the debris with a die grinder equipped with a fine sanding pad, wire brush or cleaning disc. Just remove enough material to assure a clean, smooth mating surface. The J 41013 (or equivalent) can be used to clean the following surfaces: - The hub mounting surface - The brake rotor mounting surface - The wheel mounting surface Use the J 42450-A (or equivalent) to clean around the base of the studs and the hub. Lubricants, Grease and Fluids Page 7740 8. Install the three pieces of foam to the attaching bracket starting at the top center inside the bracket and proceed down across the fuel lines, then at the inside of the bracket at the left and right positions of the center piece of foam. Finally, install the last two pieces of foam to the inside bracket at the left and right extended sides behind the retaining holes as shown above. 9. Reposition the radiator surge tank back onto the bracket and seat the two retaining tabs on the tank. 10. Drive the vehicle to verify that the noise is no longer present.

Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table above. Disclaimer Page 1676 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 4497 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 6038 Steps 1 - 7 Page 5870 Page 2062 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 1 Page 7542 Page 4868 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 7035 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 3142 Note: Do not bore or hone the cylinder bore sleeve. The cylinder bore sleeve inside diameter (I.D) is fully machined and honed to size and is optimally finished as shipped. Any attempt to modify this factory-produced sizing and finish with additional boring and honing will lead to engine damage, excessive noise or abnormal oil consumption. 1. After installing the NEW cylinder bore sleeve(s) into the engine block, trim the excess material from the cylinder bore sleeve flange. Note: Ensure that all the metal particles are collected in order to prevent internal damage to the transaxle or bearings. 2. Place the EN 45680-863 metal shaving catch plug into the cylinder bore sleeve to be trimmed. Position the top of the EN 45680-863 approximately 3.0 mm (0.12 in) below the top surface of the cylinder bore sleeve. Page 7468 Page 5314 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. A/T - No Movement in Drive or 3rd Gear Clutch: All Technical Service Bulletins A/T - No Movement in Drive or 3rd Gear TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 08-07-30-027 Date: June 04, 2008 Subject: No Movement When Transmission is Shifted to Drive or Third - Normal Operation When Shifted to Second, First or Reverse (Replace Forward Sprag Assembly) Models: 1982 - 2005 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2006 - 2007 Buick Rainier 2006 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT 2006 Chevrolet SSR 2006 - 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche, Colorado, Express, Silverado Classic, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, TrailBlazer 2006 GMC Yukon Denali, Yukon Denali XL 2006 - 2008 GMC Canyon, Envoy, Savana, Sierra Classic, Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL 2006 Pontiac GTO 2006 - 2007 HUMMER H2 2006 - 2008 HUMMER H3 2006 - 2008 Saab 9-7X with 4L60, 4L60E, 4L65E or 4L70E Automatic Transmission (RPOs MD8, M30, M32, M33 or M70) Condition Some customers may comment that the vehicle has no movement when the transmission is shifted to DRIVE or THIRD position, but there is normal operation when it is shifted to SECOND, FIRST or REVERSE position. Cause This condition may be caused by a damaged forward sprag assembly (642). Correction When inspecting the sprag, it is important to test the sprag for proper operation by holding the outer race (644) with one hand while rotating the input sun gear (640) with the other hand. The sun gear should rotate only in the counterclockwise direction with the input sun gear facing upward. If the sprag rotates in both directions or will not rotate in either direction, the sprag elements should be inspected by removing one of the sprag assembly retaining rings (643). Refer to SI Unit Repair section for forward clutch sprag disassembly procedures. If the sprag is found to be damaged, make repairs to the transmission as necessary. A new forward roller clutch sprag assembly is now available from GMSPO. Page 3040 Jump Starting: Service and Repair JUMP STARTING IN CASE OF EMERGENCY CAUTION: Batteries produce explosive gases.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 11704 Test Description DTC U1001 and U1254 Circuit/System Description Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1XXX where XXX is equal to the 3-digit identification number is set. Page 7220 Page 4451 Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR The fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor measures the difference between the pressure or vacuum in the fuel tank and outside air pressure. The control module provides a 5-volt reference and a ground to the FTP sensor. The FTP sensor provides a signal voltage back to the control module that can vary between 0.1-4.9 volts. A high FTP sensor voltage indicates a low fuel tank pressure or vacuum. A low FTP sensor voltage indicates a high fuel tank pressure. Page 8625 9.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 8956 Each user will be required to accept the following agreement each time the KeyCode application is used. Key Code User Agreement - Key codes are proprietary information belonging to General Motors Corporation and to the vehicle owner. - Unauthorized access to, or use of, key code information is unlawful and may subject the user to criminal and civil penalties. - This information should be treated as strictly confidential and should not be disclosed to anyone unless authorized. I will ensure that the following information is obtained prior to releasing any Key Code information: 1. Government issued picture ID (Drivers License) 2. Registration or other proof of ownership. Registration should have normal markings from the Province that issued the registration and possibly the receipt for payment recorded as well. Important - GM takes this agreement seriously. Each user must be certain of vehicle ownership before giving out key codes. - When the ownership of the vehicle is in doubt, dealership personnel should not provide the information. Key code requests should never be received via a fax or the internet and key codes should never be provided to anyone in this manner. A face to face contact with the owner of the vehicle is the expected manner that dealers will use to release a key code or as otherwise stipulated in this bulletin or other materials. - Key codes should NEVER be sent via a fax or the internet. - Each Dealership should create a permanent file to document all KeyCode Look Up transactions. Requests should be filed by VIN and in each folder retain copies of the following: - Government issued picture ID (Drivers License) - Registration or other proof of ownership. - Copy of the paid customer receipt which has the name of the employee who cut and sold the key to the customer. - Do not put yourself or your Dealership in the position of needing to "explain" a KeyCode Look Up to either GM or law enforcement officials. - Dealership Management has the ability to review all KeyCode Look-Up transactions. - Dealership KeyCode documentation must be retained for two years. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for GM of Canada Dealers How do I request a KeyCode for customer owned vehicle that is not registered? Scrapped, salvaged or stored vehicles that do not have a current registration should still have the ownership verified by requesting the vehicle title, current insurance policy and / or current lien holder information from the customers financing source. If you cannot determine if the customer is the owner of the vehicle, do not provide the key code information. In these cases, a short description of the vehicle (scrapped, salvaged, etc.) and the dealership location should be kept on file. Any clarifying explanation should be entered into the comments field. How do I document a KeyCode request for a vehicle that is being repossessed? The repossessor must document ownership of the vehicle by providing a court ordered repossession order and lien-holder documents prior to providing key code information. Copies of the repossessors Drivers License and a business card should be retained by the dealership for documentation. What do I do if the registration information is locked in the vehicle? Every effort should be made to obtain complete information for each request. Each Dealership will have to decide on a case by case basis if enough information is available to verify the customer's ownership of the vehicle. Other forms of documentation include vehicle title, insurance policy, and or current lien information from the customers financing source. Dealership Management must be involved in any request without complete information. If you cannot determine if the customer is the owner of the vehicle, do not provide the key code information. Can I get a print out of the information on the screen? It is important to note that the Key Code Look Up Search Results contain sensitive and/or proprietary information. For this reason GM recommends against printing it. If the Search Results must be printed, store and/or dispose of the printed copy properly to minimize the risk of improper or illegal use. Who in the dealership has access to the KeyCode application? Dealership Parts Manager (or assigned management) will determine, and control, who is authorized to access the KeyCode Look Up application. However, we anticipate that dealership parts and service management will be the primary users of the application. The KeyCode Look Up application automatically tracks each user activity session. Information tracked by the system includes: User name, User ID, all other entered data and the date/time of access. Page 2570 Air Filter Element: Service and Repair AIR CLEANER ELEMENT REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

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.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 587 Heated Seat Control Module - Passenger, C3 (With RPO Code KA1) Page 12619 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 4663 Conversion - English/Metric Part 1 Page 4811 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 10462 Page 12963 Page 12816 5.2 Cut off the cable tie (B), detach the connector's rear end face (C) and pull out the connecting rail (D). 5.3.

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.

Installation Procedure Page 4003 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Page 793 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 9346 Page 4788 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 1534 Page 5978 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 40 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 9026 Page 8121 Shift Interlock: Description and Operation Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control Description and Operation The automatic transmission shift lock control system is a safety device that prevents an inadvertent shift out of PARK when the engine is running. The driver must press the brake pedal before moving the shift lever out of the PARK position. The system consists of the following components: ^ The automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid ^ The body control module (BCM) ^ The powertrain control module (PCM) The BCM controls the voltage to the shift lock control solenoid through the shift lock control solenoid controlled voltage circuit. The following conditions must be met before the BCM will supply voltage to the shift lock control solenoid: ^ The ignition is in the ON position. ^ The PCM sends an input to the BCM indicating the transmission is in the PARK position. ^ The BCM determines the brake pedal is not applied according to the brake pedal position. Since the shift lock control solenoid is permanently grounded, the BCM supplies voltage to the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid, mechanically locking the shift lever in the PARK position as the solenoid energizes. When the brake pedal is applied, the BCM turns the control voltage output of the shift lock control solenoid OFF, de-energizing the shift lock control solenoid. The de-energized solenoid releases the mechanical lock allowing the driver to move the shift lever out of the PARK position. When the transmission is out of the PARK position, the shift lock control solenoid remains de-energized. During remote start operation the BCM will energize the shift lock control circuit, locking the shift lever in the PARK position. Page 7928 7.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 7174 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 9473 4. Install the electrical center connector cover. 5.

Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 4257 Page 4373 Page 6706 Fuel: Technical Service Bulletins Fuel - Top Tier Detergent Gasoline Information Bulletin No.: 04-06-00-047 Date: June 24, 2004 ADVANCED SERVICE INFORMATION Subject: Top Tier Detergent Gasoline (Deposits, Fuel Economy, No Start, Power, Performance, Stall Concerns) Models: 2005 and Prior All General Motors Passenger Cars and Trucks (U.S. Only) A new class of gasoline, called Top Tier Detergent Gasoline, will be appearing at retail stations of some fuel marketers. This gasoline meets detergency standards developed by four automotive companies. A description of the concept and benefits of Top Tier is provided in the following question and answer section. What is Top Tier Detergent Gasoline? Top Tier Detergent Gasoline is a new class of gasoline with enhanced detergency. It meets new, voluntary deposit control standards developed by four automotive companies that exceed the detergent requirements imposed by the EPA. Who developed Top Tier Detergent Gasoline standards? Top Tier Detergent Gasoline standards were developed by four automotive companies: BMW, General Motors, Honda and Toyota. Why was Top Tier Detergent Gasoline developed? Top Tier Detergent Gasoline was developed to increase the level of detergent additive in gasoline. The EPA requires that all gasoline sold in the U.S. contain a detergent additive. However, the requirement is minimal and in many cases, is not sufficient to keep engines clean. In order to meet Top Tier Detergent Gasoline standards, a higher level of detergent is needed than what is required by the EPA. Also, Top Tier was developed to give fuel marketers the opportunity to differentiate their product. Why did the four automotive companies join together to develop Top Tier? All four corporations recognized the benefits to both the vehicle and the consumer. Also, joining together emphasized that low detergency is an issue of concern to several automotive companies. What are the benefits of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline? Top Tier Detergent Gasoline will help keep engines cleaner than gasoline containing the "Lowest Additive Concentration" set by the EPA. Clean engines help provide optimal fuel economy and performance and reduced emissions. Also, use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline will help reduce deposit related concerns. Who should use Top Tier Detergent Gasoline? All vehicles will benefit from using Top Tier Detergent Gasoline over gasoline containing the "Lowest Additive Concentration" set by the EPA. Those vehicles that have experienced deposit related concerns may especially benefit from use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. Where can Top Tier Detergent Gasoline be purchased? The Top Tier program began on May 3, 2004. Some fuel marketers have already joined and are making plans to introduce Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. This is a voluntary program and not all fuel marketers will offer this product. Once fuel marketers make public announcements, a list of all fuel marketers meeting Top Tier standards will be made available. For now, look for the "Top Tier" designation at the gas pump.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-006B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R) will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected. It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure. In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R) module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery. The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes. After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position. If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge. Warranty Information (excluding Saab US Models) For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.

In this state, the modules and their subsystems can support all operator requirements. If the engine run flag serial data is False, indicating that the engine is not running, the modules fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state, the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle. Discrete Ignition Signals Those modules that have discrete ignition signal inputs, also remain in the state dictated by the last valid PMM message received on the serial data circuits. They then check the state of their discrete ignition input to determine the current valid state. If the discrete ignition input is active, battery positive voltage, the modules will fail-safe to the RUN power mode. If the discrete ignition input is not active, open or 0 volts, the modules will fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state, the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle. BCM Wake-Up/Sleep States The body control module (BCM) is able to control or perform all of the BCM functions in the wake-up state. The BCM enters the sleep state when active control or monitoring of system functions has stopped, and the BCM has become idle again. The BCM must detect certain wake-up inputs before entering the wake-up state. The BCM monitors for these inputs during the sleep state, where the BCM is able to detect switch transitions that cause the BCM to wake-up when activated or deactivated. Multiple switch inputs are needed in order to sense both the insertion of the ignition key and the power mode requested. The BCM will enter a wake-up state, if any of the following wake-up inputs are detected: Activity on the serial data line - Detection of a battery disconnect and reconnect condition - Headlamps are ON. - Ignition is turned ON. - Key-in-ignition switch - Park lamps are ON. - RFA message The BCM will enter a sleep state when all of the following conditions exist: The ignition switch is OFF. - No activity exists on the serial data line. - No outputs are commanded. - No delay timers are actively counting. - No wake-up inputs are present. If all these conditions are met, the BCM will enter a low power or sleep condition. This condition indicates that the BCM, which is the power mode master (PMM) of the vehicle, has sent an OFF or OFF-ASLEEP message to the other systems on the serial data line. Page 7452 Page 13482 3.

If you get a concern of no movement in the morning or after sitting for several hours, the cooler check ball should be inspected. The best way to determine where the check ball is located is to look at the cooler line fittings. The old fittings are different sizes (3/8-18 NPSF & 1/4-18 NPSF) and would contain the cooler check ball. The new fittings are the same size as each other (9/16-18 UNF) and do not have a cooler check ball. Parts Information Disclaimer Page 5440 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 4611 Oxygen Sensor: Service Precautions Heated Oxygen Sensor Resistance Learn Reset Notice Notice: 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. Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage Engine Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 04-06-04-054B Date: November 18, 2010 Subject: Info - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket) Models: 2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update to the new U.S. Fixed Operation Manager (FOM) and Canada Warranty Manager (WM) names. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System). The recent rise and expansion of companies selling non-GM parts and accessories has made it necessary to issue this reminder to dealers regarding GM's policy on the use and installation of these aftermarket components. When a dealer is performing a repair under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, they are required to use only genuine GM or GM-approved parts and accessories. This applies to all warranty repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. Parts and accessories advertised as being "the same" as parts manufactured by GM, but not sold through GM, do not qualify for use in warranty repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. During a warranty repair, if a GM original equipment part is not available through GM Customer Care and Aftersales (GM CC&A;), ACDelco(R) distributors, other GM dealers or approved sources, the dealer is to obtain comparable, non-GM parts and clearly indicate, in detail, on the repair order the circumstances surrounding why non-GM parts were used. The dealer must give customers written notice, prior to the sale or service, that such parts or accessories are not marketed or warranted by General Motors. It should also be noted that dealers modifying new vehicles and installing equipment, parts and accessories obtained from sources not authorized by GM are responsible for complying with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Certain non-approved parts or assemblies, installed by the dealer or its agent not authorized by GM, may result in a change to the vehicle's design characteristics and may affect the vehicle's ability to conform to federal law. Dealers must fully understand that non-GM approved parts may not have been validated, tested or certified for use. This puts the dealer at risk for potential liability in the event of a part or vehicle failure. If a GM part failure occurs as the result of the installation or use of a non-GM approved part, the warranty will not be honored. A good example of non-authorized modification of vehicles is the result of an ever increasing supply of aftermarket devices available to the customer, which claim to increase the horsepower and torque of the Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines. These include the addition of, but are not limited to one or more of the following modifications: - Propane injection - Nitrous oxide injection - Additional modules (black boxes) that connect to the vehicle wiring systems - Revised engine calibrations downloaded for the engine control module - Calibration modules which connect to the vehicle diagnostic connector - Modification to the engine turbocharger waste gate Although the installation of these devices, or modification of vehicle components, can increase engine horsepower and torque, they may also negatively affect the engine emissions, reliability and/or durability. In addition, other powertrain components, such as transmissions, universal joints, drive shafts, and front/rear axle components, can be stressed beyond design safety limits by the installation of these devices. General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that, when installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. It is because of these unknown stresses, and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is subsequently removed. Refer to the latest version of Bulletin 09-06-04-026 (V8 Gas Engines) or 06-06-01-007 (Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines) for more information on dealer requirements for calibration verification. These same policies apply as they relate to the use of non-GM accessories. Damage or failure from the use or installation of a non-GM accessory will not be covered under warranty. Failure resulting from the alteration or modification of the vehicle, including the cutting, welding or disconnecting of the vehicle's original equipment parts and components will void the warranty. Additionally, dealers will NOT be reimbursed or compensated by GM in the event of any legal inquiry at either the local, state or federal level that Page 1055 Assistance for all GM fleet customers using GM STC products and services is provided on the Internet via www.gmcommontraining.com using the "Contact Us" button on the site and/or the GM Common Training Help Desk at 1-888-748-2687.

Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Engine, A/T Controls - Shared Diagnostic Trouble Codes Engine Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Engine, A/T Controls - Shared Diagnostic Trouble Codes Bulletin No.: 05-06-04-060 Date: September 23, 2005 INFORMATION Subject: Powertrain Control Module (PCM), Engine Control Module (ECM), Transmission Control Module (TCM) Diagnostic Trouble Code(s) (DTC)(s) P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P1621 Shared In Multiple Modules Models: 2005-2006 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2005-2006 HUMMER H2 2006 HUMMER H3 2005-2006 Saab 9-7X Beginning in 2005, some control modules (ECM's, TCM's) have specific codes that describe internal failures of the module. These DTCs are not module specific and can be found on any controller that has these codes. Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J2012 committee has set these specific codes to be an industry standard of all manufacturers. Currently, these common codes are: ^ P0601 - Control Module Read Only Memory (ROM) ^ P0601 - Transmission Control Module (TCM) Read Only Memory (ROM) ^ P0602 - Control Module Not Programmed ^ P0602 - Transmission Control Module (TCM) Not Programmed ^ P0603 - Control Module Long Term Memory Reset ^ P0603 - Transmission Control Module (TCM) Long Term Memory Reset ^ P0604 - Control Module Random Access Memory (RAM) ^ P0604 - Transmission Control Module (TCM) Random Access Memory (RAM) ^ P1621 - Control Module Long Term Memory Performance ^ P1621 - Transmission Control Module (TCM) Long Term Memory Performance Important: ^ Use caution when diagnosing these shared codes to perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure on the appropriate module. ^ A low voltage condition may set one or more of the above codes.

Significant additional mass can affect trim height and wheel alignment of the vehicle and may necessitate a customer pay wheel alignment when placed semi-permanently in the vehicle (Upfitter instructions are to realign the vehicle after placement of these types of items. (This typically applies to trucks and incomplete vehicles that can be upfit with equipment such as the above.) Customer Concerns, "Normal Operation" Conditions and "Mileage Policy" Possible Concerns The following are typical conditions that may require wheel alignment warranty service: 1. Lead/Pull: defined as "at a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, the amount of effort required at the steering wheel to maintain the vehicle's straight heading." Important Please evaluate for the condition with hands-on the steering wheel. Follow the "Vehicle Leads/Pulls" diagnostic tree located in SI to determine the cause of a lead/pull concern. Lead/Pull concerns can be due to road crown or road slope, tires, wheel alignment or even in rare circumstances a steering gear issue. Lead/pull concerns due to road crown are considered "Normal Operation" and are NOT a warrantable condition -- the customer should be advised that this is "Normal Operation." Important Some customers may comment on a "Lead/Pull" when they hold the steering wheel in a level condition. If so, this is more likely a "steering wheel angle" concern because the customer is "steering" the vehicle to obtain a "level" steering wheel. 2. Steering wheel angle to the left or right (counter-clockwise or clockwise, respectively): Defined as the steering wheel angle (clocking) deviation from "level" while maintaining a straight heading on a typical straight road. 3. Irregular or Premature tire wear: Slight to very slight "feathering" or "edge" wear on the shoulders of tires is NOT considered unusual and should even out with a tire rotation; if the customer is concerned about a "feathering" condition of the tires, the customer could be advised to rotate the tires earlier than the next scheduled mileage/maintenance interval (but no later than the next interval). Be sure to understand the customer's driving habits as this will also heavily influence the tire wear performance; tire wear from aggressive or abusive driving habits is NOT a warrantable condition. Important Slight or mild feathering, cupping, edge or heel/toe wear of tire tread shoulders is "normal" and can show up very early in a tire/vehicle service mileage; in fact, some new tires can show evidence of feathering from the factory. These issues do NOT affect the overall performance and tread life of the tire. Dealer personnel should always check the customer's maintenance records to ensure that tire inflation pressure is being maintained to placard and that the tires are being rotated (modified-X pattern) at the proper mileage intervals. Wheel alignments are NOT to be performed for the types of "Normal" Tire Feathering shown in Figures 1-4 below. Page 6149 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.

Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they become necessary. Important: Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be transferred if one or more wheels are replaced. TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)). Important: ^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut. Notice: ^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps. These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals. On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in). For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order and use. Disclaimer Page 6542 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Solenoid Page 10609 4.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 8602 The list shown is of labor operations for brake service.

As the data ages, the functionality of the navigation system declines. Offering GM customers new navigation DVDs will ensure that the customers have the latest information for their system. General Motors offered a Navigation Disc Update Program for 2006 and 2007 model year vehicles. This program concluded on December 31, 2009. The DVD Navigation Update Program policy has changed and customers are no longer eligible for free annual updates, however, a navigation DVD update disc can be purchased for $199 (USD) + shipping. If the navigation disc is needed for a warranty situation, the disc can be purchased for $120 (USD). The dealer must provide a VIN and RO# to qualify for the reduced price. The dealer must call the GM Navigation Disc Center, as this option is not available on the website. The GM Navigation Disc Center launched on March 15, 2006. There are two ways to obtain an updated disc: - Via the web through gmnavdisc.com - GM Navigation Disc Center Navigation Disc Diagnostic Aid The following table can be used to identify acceptable discs for testing the navigation unit's map drive functionality. This should only be used to verify the map drive's ability to read the map disc properly and to determine if there is an issue with the unit's map drive or the disc. Some functions, such as voice recognition, may not work properly with some of the discs in the list. If the disc is found to be defective always contact the GM Navigation Disc Center to obtain the most recent disc for the vehicle. AVN Software Update Discs Technical Service Bulletins are sometimes generated to address specific navigation radio operational or performance issues. When a navigation radio bulletin is issued, it may contain instructions to utilize an advanced vehicle navigation (AVN) software update with a specific part number. GM dealers must order advanced vehicle navigation (AVN) software update discs as directed in the specific bulletin. AVN software update discs are for the dealer to update the navigation radio software only. They do NOT update or replace the navigation map disc that is supplied with the vehicle. Please order these parts only as needed. There is a limited supply of these discs available. Do not order these discs for stock. AVN software update discs can be used to reprogram more than one vehicle. The first update disc for each P/N is free. Subsequent copies of the same P/N for the same dealer will cost $50 (USD). To obtain an AVN software update disc, follow the specific ordering information provided in the bulletin. Page 8716 4.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 2806 Fuse Block - Underhood C4 Page 8727 7. Remove the Jack stand from the lower control arm assembly. 8. Bleed the brake hydraulic system. 9. Install the tire and wheel assembly. 10. Lower the vehicle. 11. Check the rear alignment. Page 1677 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 6658 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 2454 What corrected the customer concern and was the repair verified? Please Explain: ............. Disclaimer Page 7200 11.

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 Page 4690 5.

This vehicle's PMM is the body control module (BCM). The PMM controls which power mode (Run, Accessory, Crank, Retained Accessory Power, or Off) is active. Serial Data Power Mode Master On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the power mode master (PMM). On this vehicle, the PMM is the body control module (BCM). The PMM receives 3 discrete ignition switch signals to differentiate which power mode will be sent over the Serial Data circuits. The 3-wire Ignition Switch table illustrates the state of these inputs in correspondence to the ignition switch position. Relay Controlled Power Mode The body control module (BCM) uses the discrete ignition switch inputs Off/Run/Crank, Accessory, and ignition 1, to distinguish the correct power mode. The ignition 1 circuit is also routed to the Run/Crank relay for relay controlled power feeds during the appropriate power mode. The BCM, after determining the desired power mode, will activate the appropriate relays for that power mode. Run/Crank Relay The run/crank relay control circuit is connected to a constant ground and is switched by the ignition 1 circuit or the BCM. The BCM, will in lieu of the ignition switch position, activate the Run/Crank relay during a remote start event. The Run/Crank relay supplies a power signal to the following circuits, when the a Run or Crank power mode is selected: Automatic transmission shift indicator - Automatic transmission (A/T) - Switched power feeds to the BCM - Electronic brake control module (EBCM) - Electronic ignition module (spark control) - Electronic power steering module (EPS) - Fuel injectors - Powertrain control module (PCM) - Park neutral position (PNP) switch Accessory (ACC) Relay The adaptive cruise control (ACC) relay is energized when the Run or accessory power mode has been selected. The relay uses a Hot At All Times B+ power source derived from the underhood electrical center. The ACC relay is also energized by the BCM to supply power during the retained accessory power (RAP) mode. The following devices are controlled by this relay: Inside rearview mirror - Heated seats - Power windows - Sunroof - Wiper washers switch Fail-Safe Operation Since the operation of the vehicle systems depends on the power mode, there is a fail-safe plan in place should the power mode master (PMM) fail to send a power mode message. The fail-safe plan covers those modules, using exclusively serial data control of power mode, as well as those modules with discrete ignition signal inputs. Serial Data Messages The modules that depend exclusively on serial data messages for power modes. stay in the state dictated by the last valid PMM message until they can check for the engine run flag status on the serial data circuits. If the PMM fails, the modules monitor the serial data circuit for the engine run flag Page 9188 5.

Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 5605 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 13484 Disclaimer Page 276 A/T - Torque Converter Replacement Information Torque Converter: Technical Service Bulletins A/T - Torque Converter Replacement Information INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 01-07-30-010C Date: May 12, 2008 Subject: Automatic Transmission/Transaxle Torque Converter Replacement Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks 2009 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior Saturn Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Except VTi Equipped Vehicles (RPO M16 and M75) 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X with ALL Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2007-2009 model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-07-30-010B (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). The purpose of this bulletin is to help technicians determine when a torque converter should be replaced. Below is a list of general guidelines to follow. The converter should NOT be replaced if the following apply: ^ DTC P0742 - TCC stuck on is set. This code is almost always the result of a controls condition (i.e. stuck TCC solenoid/valve). Experience has shown that this code rarely indicates a mechanical concern within the torque converter. ^ The fluid has an odor or is discolored but no evidence of metal contamination. ^ Fine metal particles (traces of metal flakes/gray color to fluid ) are found in the converter. This is not harmful to the torque converter. ^ The vehicle has been exposed to high mileage. ^ A small amount of wear appears on the hub where the oil pump drive gear mates to the converter (RWD only). A certain amount of such wear is normal for both the hub and oil pump gear. Neither the converter nor the front pump assembly should be replaced. The torque converter should be replaced under any of the following conditions: ^ The vehicle has TCC shudder and/or no TCC apply. First complete all electrical and hydraulic diagnosis and check for proper engine operation. The converter clutch may be damaged. Also the converter bushing and/or internal 0-ring may be damaged. ^ Evidence of damage to the oil pump assembly pump shaft turbine shaft drive sprocket support and bearing or metal chips/debris in the converter. ^ Metal chips/debris are found in the converter or when flushing the cooler and the cooler lines. ^ External leaks in the hub weld area lug weld or closure weld. ^ Converter pilot is broken damaged or fits poorly into the crankshaft. ^ The converter hub is scored or damaged. ^ The transmission oil is contaminated with engine coolant engine oil or water. ^ If excessive end play is found after measuring the converter for proper end play (refer to Service Manual). ^ If metal chips/debris are found in the fluid filter or on the magnet and no internal parts in the unit are worn or damaged. This indicates that the material came from the converter. ^ The converter has an unbalanced condition that results in a vibration that cannot be corrected by following Converter Vibration Procedures. ^ Blue converter or dark circular ring between lugs. This condition will also require a complete cleaning of the cooler and a check for adequate flow Page 9780 Power Steering Control Module - C3 Page 5439 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 4486 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 6475 4. Gently pull the cable and the terminal (2) out of the back of the connector. 5. Re-form the locking device if you are going to reuse the terminal (1). 6. To repair the terminal, refer to Terminal Repair. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. Slip the cable seal away from the terminal. 2. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 3. Slip a new cable seal onto the wire. 4. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 5. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 6. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. 7. Slide the cable seal toward the terminal. 8. Crimp the cable seal and the insulation. 9. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply grease to the connector. REINSTALLING TERMINAL 1. In order to reuse a terminal or lead assembly. Refer to Wiring Repairs . 2. Ensure that the cable seal is kept on the terminal side of the splice. 3. Insert the lead from the back until it catches. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Pull to Seat Connectors PULL TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should be replaced. Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors: 1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into the front of the connector body. 5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal (1) out the front of the connector body (3). Page 4435 Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is a permanent magnet generator, known as a variable reluctance sensor. The CKP sensor produces an AC voltage of different amplitude and frequency. The frequency depends on the velocity of the crankshaft. The AC voltage output depends on the crankshaft position and the battery voltage. The CKP sensor works in conjunction with a 7X reluctor wheel attached to the crankshaft. The CKP sensor produces 7 pulses for each revolution of the crankshaft. The pulse from the 10-degree notch is known as the sync pulse. The sync pulse is used to synchronize the coil firing sequence with the crankshaft position. The CKP sensor is used for ignition timing, the fuel injector timing, misfire diagnostics and tachometer display. The CKP sensor is connected to the ECM by a signal circuit and a low reference circuit. Page 2893 Tires: Service and Repair Tire Mounting and Dismounting Tire Mounting and Dismounting Notice: Use a tire changing machine in order to dismount tires. Do not use hand tools or tire irons alone in order to remove the tire from the wheel. Damage to the tire beads or the wheel rim could result. Notice: Do not scratch or damage the clear coating on aluminum wheels with the tire changing equipment. Scratching the clear coating could cause the aluminum wheel to corrode and the clear coating to peel from the wheel. Notice: 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. Deflate the tire completely. Important: Rim-clamp European-type tire changers are recommended. 2. Use the tire changer in order to remove the tire from the wheel. 3. Use a wire brush or coarse steel wool in order to remove any rubber, light rust or corrosion from the wheel bead seats. Notice: 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. 4. Apply an approved Lubricant to the tire bead and the wheel rim. 5. Use the tire changer in order to install the tire to the wheel. Caution: To avoid serious personal injury, do not stand over tire when inflating. The bead may break when the bead snaps over the safety hump. Do not exceed 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure when inflating any tire if beads are not seated. If 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure will not seat the beads, deflate, relubricate the beads and reinflate. Overinflation may cause the bead to break and cause serious personal injury. 6. Inflate the tire to the proper air pressure. 7. 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. Page 4129 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 7179 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 9356 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4.

Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 1562 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3.

Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types of circuit breakers are used. 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.

Water may collect near a single fuel injector at the lowest point in the fuel injection system and cause a misfire in that cylinder. If the fuel system is contaminated with water, inspect the fuel system components for rust or deterioration. Ethanol concentrations of greater than 10 percent can cause driveability conditions and fuel system deterioration. Fuel with more than 10 percent ethanol could result in driveability conditions such as hesitation, lack of power, stalling, or no start. Excessive concentrations of ethanol used in vehicles not designed for it may cause fuel system corrosion, deterioration of rubber components, and fuel filter restriction. ALCOHOL IN FUEL TESTING PROCEDURE The fuel sample should be drawn from the bottom of the tank so that any water present in the tank will be detected. The sample should be bright and clear. If alcohol contamination is suspected then use the following procedure to test the fuel quality. 1. Using a 100 ml (3.38 oz) specified cylinder with 1 ml (0.034 oz) graduation marks, fill the cylinder with fuel to the 90 ml (3.04 oz) mark. 2. Add 10 ml (0.34 oz) of water in order to bring the total fluid volume to 100 ml (3.38 oz) and install a stopper. 3. Shake the cylinder vigorously for 10-15 seconds. 4. Carefully loosen the stopper in order to release the pressure. 5. Re-install the stopper and shake the cylinder vigorously again for 10-15 seconds. 6. Put the cylinder on a level surface for approximately 5 minutes in order to allow adequate liquid separation. If alcohol is present in the fuel, the volume of the lower layer, which would now contain both alcohol and water, will be more than 10 ml (0.34 oz). For example, if the volume of the lower layer is increased to 15 ml (0.51 oz), this indicates at least 5 percent alcohol in the fuel. The actual amount of alcohol may be somewhat more because this procedure does not extract all of the alcohol from the fuel. PARTICULATE CONTAMINANTS IN FUEL TESTING PROCEDURE The fuel sample should be drawn from the bottom of the tank so that any water present in the tank will be detected. The sample should be bright and clear. If the sample appears cloudy, or contaminated with water, as indicated by a water layer at the bottom of the sample, use the following procedure to diagnose the fuel. 1. Using an approved fuel container, draw approximately 0.5 liter (0.53 qt) of fuel. 2. Place the container on a level surface for approximately 5 minutes in order to allow settling of the particulate contamination. Particulate contamination will show up in various shapes and colors. Sand will typically be identified by a white or light brown crystals. Rubber will appear as black and irregular particles. 3. Observe the fuel sample. If any physical contaminants or water are present, clean the fuel system. Refer to Fuel System Cleaning. Page 230 For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Disclaimer Page 3455 22.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 10065 10. Remove the support assembly to body bolts. 11. With the aid of an assistant, remove the support assembly from the vehicle. 12.

Install the oil pan drain plug. ^ Tighten the oil pan drain plug to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). 5. Lower the vehicle. 6. Fill the engine with oil. Page 1985 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 3239 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. Page 5593 Page 10004 8.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-006B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R) will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected. It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure. In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R) module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery. The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes. After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position. If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 109 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 3632 Conversion - English/Metric Part 2 Diagnostic Work Sheets DIAGNOSTIC WORK SHEETS The GM Diagnostic Worksheet has been designed to improve communications between the service customer and the technician.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) supplies the OnStar(R) button assembly with 10 volts via the keypad supply voltage circuit. Each of the buttons, when pressed, completes the circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM over the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned, the VCIM is able to identify which button has been activated. Conditions for Running the DTCs The ignition is ON. System voltage is between 9 - 16 volts. Conditions for Setting the DTCs B2476 04: The VCIM detects an open/high resistance on the keypad supply voltage circuit. B2482 and B2476 59: The VCIM detects a valid signal on the keypad signal circuit for more than 15 seconds. If one of the OnStar(R) buttons is held or stuck for 15 seconds or more, the VCIM will set these DTCs. Action Taken When the DTCs Set The OnStar(R) status LED turns red. No calls can be placed. The VCIM will ignore all inputs from the OnStar® button assembly. Conditions for Clearing the DTCs The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. Engine, A/T Controls - Shared Diagnostic Trouble Codes Engine Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Engine, A/T Controls - Shared Diagnostic Trouble Codes Bulletin No.: 05-06-04-060 Date: September 23, 2005 INFORMATION Subject: Powertrain Control Module (PCM), Engine Control Module (ECM), Transmission Control Module (TCM) Diagnostic Trouble Code(s) (DTC)(s) P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P1621 Shared In Multiple Modules Models: 2005-2006 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2005-2006 HUMMER H2 2006 HUMMER H3 2005-2006 Saab 9-7X Beginning in 2005, some control modules (ECM's, TCM's) have specific codes that describe internal failures of the module. These DTCs are not module specific and can be found on any controller that has these codes. Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J2012 committee has set these specific codes to be an industry standard of all manufacturers. Currently, these common codes are: ^ P0601 - Control Module Read Only Memory (ROM) ^ P0601 - Transmission Control Module (TCM) Read Only Memory (ROM) ^ P0602 - Control Module Not Programmed ^ P0602 - Transmission Control Module (TCM) Not Programmed ^ P0603 - Control Module Long Term Memory Reset ^ P0603 - Transmission Control Module (TCM) Long Term Memory Reset ^ P0604 - Control Module Random Access Memory (RAM) ^ P0604 - Transmission Control Module (TCM) Random Access Memory (RAM) ^ P1621 - Control Module Long Term Memory Performance ^ P1621 - Transmission Control Module (TCM) Long Term Memory Performance Important: ^ Use caution when diagnosing these shared codes to perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure on the appropriate module. ^ A low voltage condition may set one or more of the above codes. Repair any low voltage conditions prior to diagnosing the above codes. Refer to the appropriate Service Information (SI) document for Diagnosis and Repair procedures. Disclaimer Page 10442 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Locations Top Front of Engine Page 2122 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 2051 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 10938 Inside Of The Left C - Pillar Campaign - Door Latch Freezing Rear Door Latch: All Technical Service Bulletins Campaign - Door Latch Freezing Inventory Upgrade - Door Latch Freezing in Cold Temperatures # 05016 - (Jan 31, 2005) Models: 2005 Buick Allure - Canada Only 2005 Buick LaCrosse - US Only 2004-2005 Cadillac CTS, SRX 2005 Cadillac STS 2004-2005 Chevrolet Malibu (New Style), Mailbu Maxx 2005 Chevrolet Equinox This correction should be performed on all 2005 Buick Allure and LaCrosse; 2004- 2005 Cadillac CTS and SRX; 2005 Cadillac STS; 2004-2005 Chevrolet Malibu (New Style) and Malibu Maxx; and 2005 model year Equinox vehicles currently in your inventory.

On January 7, 2005, the plants began lubing latches so any vehicles received after January 28, 2005 will not require lubrication. Condition Water from a car wash or off the road may enter the latch and freeze, causing the door latch to freeze. Correction Apply Super Lube to the latch detent lever. 1. Verify that the striker properly engages the latch and that no obstructions are preventing the door from closing. Important: The latch and its backing plate have been removed on the illustration to show the location for the lube. 2. Allow the latch to completely thaw out and spray GM Super Lube(R) on BOTH sides of the latch detent lever for approximately two to three seconds. Refer to the above illustration (slashed area) for the lube location. Apply lube to all door latches. Operate the door latch several times to spread the lubricant on all surfaces. 3. Repeat this procedure on all doors. Page 2059 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

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. Page 5109 Assistance for all GM fleet customers using GM STC products and services is provided on the Internet via www.gmcommontraining.com using the "Contact Us" button on the site and/or the GM Common Training Help Desk at 1-888-748-2687.

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip.

Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 5308 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) supplies the OnStar(R) button assembly with 10 volts via the keypad supply voltage circuit. Each of the buttons, when pressed, completes the circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM over the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned, the VCIM is able to identify which button has been activated. Conditions for Running the DTCs The ignition is ON. System voltage is between 9 - 16 volts. Conditions for Setting the DTCs B2476 04: The VCIM detects an open/high resistance on the keypad supply voltage circuit. B2482 and B2476 59: The VCIM detects a valid signal on the keypad signal circuit for more than 15 seconds. If one of the OnStar(R) buttons is held or stuck for 15 seconds or more, the VCIM will set these DTCs. Action Taken When the DTCs Set The OnStar(R) status LED turns red. No calls can be placed. The VCIM will ignore all inputs from the OnStar® button assembly. Conditions for Clearing the DTCs The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. Page 3592 Page 5222 PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening.

Saturn US: Saturn will not be doing a pre-shipment of parts for this special coverage. Please place orders for the required parts as necessary. Page 7605 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 5266 Steps 1-12 Power Mode Mismatch POWER MODE MISMATCH CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION Normal vehicle serial data communications and the control modules operations will not begin until the system power mode has been identified. Discrete wires from the ignition switch contacts are monitored by a module which acts as the power mode master (PMM) in order to determine the correct power mode. The module which is the PMM communicates the system power mode to all modules on the serial data lines. Refer to Body Control System Description and Operation to identify which module is the PMM and the applicable power mode look up table. TEST DESCRIPTION Page 1911 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. TPMS System - Service And Re-Learning Sensor IDs Tire Pressure Module: Technical Service Bulletins TPMS System - Service And Re-Learning Sensor IDs INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 10-03-16-001 Date: July 19, 2010 Subject: TPMS System Service and Re-Learning Sensor IDs Models: 2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2 2009 and Prior HUMMER H3 2010 and Prior Saturn Models 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X with Wheel-Mounted Tire Pressure Sensors In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM) sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25 mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON, indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set. The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared. To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results. It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 6153 2.

Parts Information Warranty Information Page 9957 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 2005 Assistance for all GM fleet customers using GM STC products and services is provided on the Internet via www.gmcommontraining.com using the "Contact Us" button on the site and/or the GM Common Training Help Desk at 1-888-748-2687.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 5210 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

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

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4.

In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the microphone. Cellular and GPS Antennas The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas: ^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas. ^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a single part. ^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM). The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna. The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10 minutes to register in the event of a loss of power. Audio System Interface When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle receives a call with the radio ON. On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return to its previous setting. OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it. By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands. The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network. The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body control module (BCM). OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle) The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended. A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2 and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by accessing www.onstarenrollment.com All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After 48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF, Page 7414 Page 11167 Page 1472 Page 1591 Page 251 these systems will then completely power OFF. OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows: ^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA ^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours ^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle communication platforms (VCPs)). Note During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike caused by the following: ^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system. ^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload. OnStar(R) System States of Readiness The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF. ^ High power ^ Low power ^ Sleep ^ Digital standby The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or when the system is performing a remote function. The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or RUN position, or with RAP enabled. The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions. If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby) based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again received. If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the following: ^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate ^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason. ^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded. Page 2023 Page 8985 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one.

This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2.

In order to ensure full protection under the emission warranty, and the right to participate in future recalls, the customer notification letter recommends that customers have their vehicles serviced as soon as possible. It also advises that failure to do so could legally be determined to be lack of proper maintenance. The vehicle may fail a state or local emission inspection test if the recall work is not completed. Page 1735 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 5051 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR The accelerator pedal contains 2 individual accelerator pedal position (APP) sensors within the assembly. The APP sensors 1 and 2 are potentiometer type sensors each with 3 circuits: - A 5-volt reference circuit - A low reference circuit - A signal circuit The APP sensors are used to determine the pedal angle. The powertrain control module (PCM) provides each APP sensor a 5-volt reference circuit and a low reference circuit. The APP sensors provide the PCM with signal voltage proportional to the pedal movement. The APP sensor 1 signal voltage at rest position is near the low reference and increases as the pedal is actuated. The APP sensor 2 signal voltage at rest position is near the 5-volt reference and decreases as the pedal is actuated. Page 267 DTC B2483: Global Positioning System (GPS) Antenna Malfunction Short to Ground DTC B2484: Global Positioning System (GPS) Antenna Malfunction Open Circuit Conditions for Running the DTCs The ignition is in RUN or ACC position System voltage is between 9.5 - 15.5 volts.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.

Customer initiated Blue Button call, Emergency calls, and Automatic Crash Notification calls will also fail to establish a data connection with the OnStar(R) Call Center. Eventually, the customer's call will connect as a voice only line and the customer will be able to talk with an OnStar(R) advisor; however, the advisor will not get crucial customer data such as vehicle identification and location. Correction Dealers/retailers are to replace the OnStar(R) module (VCIM). Vehicles Involved Involved are certain 2002-2009 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R), and built within these VIN breakpoints: Note: Some model years/models have only one vehicle involved. Important Dealers/retailers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using GMVIS (dealers/retailers using WINS) or the Investigate Vehicle History link (dealers/retailers using GWM). Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be involved. For dealers/retailers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be provided to dealers/retailers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports. Dealers/retailers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles currently assigned. The listing may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any purpose other than follow-up necessary to complete this program is a violation of law in several states/provinces/countries.

Use a small flat-bladed tool to gently pry off the dress cover by inserting the tool under the cover opposite the harness side and prying up. 4. Remove the cover. 5. Using a small flat-bladed tool, push on the side of the nose piece retainer while pushing the nose piece forward with your thumb. This will release the terminal position assurance (TPA). 6. Insert the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) into the corresponding terminal release cavity. The release cavities are the 2 center rows of cavities on one half of the connector. Page 8117 Page 6787 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 9667 Figure 1: Full Tread View - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear on the Shoulder/Adjacent/Center Ribs Figure 2: Tire Shoulder View Example 1 - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear on the Shoulder 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 Page 6013 Page 3119 2. Important: ^ There are 3 colored links on the timing chain. Two links are of matching color and one link is of a unique color. Use the following procedure to line up the links with the sprockets. Orient the chain so that the colored links are visible. ^ Always use new sprocket bolts. Assemble the intake camshaft sprocket to the timing chain with the timing mark lined up with the uniquely colored link (1). Hand tighten a new intake camshaft sprocket bolt. 3. Lower the timing chain through the opening in the cylinder head. Use care to ensure that the chain goes around both sides of the cylinder block bosses (1, 2). Page 2598 4. Install the J 44551-5 (3) over the end of the suction hose and the suction screen (2). IMPORTANT: Correct placement of the J 44551-5 is critical. 5. Tighten the forcing screw of the J 44551-5. The suction screen is fully installed when the screen is flush with the end of the suction hose fitting. 6. Remove the J 44551-5 from the suction hose. 7.

Loosen the 4 bolts across the top of the electrical center. 8. Use a flat-bladed tool to remove the locking pins from the body harness connector. 9. Disconnect the body harness connector. 10. Disconnect the remaining wiring harness connectors from the junction block. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Page 3826 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 10011 7. Wipe off any excessive grease on the intermediate shaft to avoid damage from drips on the carpet. 8. Install the instrument panel insulator panel - left side. 9. Verify that the noise is no longer present. Condition 2 There may be interference between the clamp and the steering gear input shaft. The clamp is beveled and if forced down on the input shaft too hard, it may cause a loose fit with the intermediate shaft to input shaft joint. Correction 2 To correct this condition, perform the following steps: 1. Remove the intermediate shaft pinch bolt at the steering gear end. 2. Install a new bolt, GM P/N 07845238, but do not tighten the bolt at this time. 3. Pry the clamp up using a pry bar to position the bolt into the upper part of the groove as shown above. This will position the clamp off the bevel. 4. While keeping the clamp in the upper position, tighten the bolt. Tighten Tighten the bolt to 49 Nm (36 lb ft). 5. Verify that the clunk noise is no longer present. Condition 3 Important This condition ONLY applies to 2004-2007 Chevrolet Malibu/Maxx and 2005-2007 Pontiac G6. Some customers may comment on a knocking or rattling type noise from the front of the vehicle when driven at low speeds and over bumps. The noise only occurs when the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position and sounds like the noise is in the left suspension of the vehicle or directly in front of the driver. Correction 3 1. Ensure the noise is not caused by Condition # 1. 2. Determine the source of the noise. Install the chassis ears at the following locations: - sway bar link - one side at a time - upper strut mount - one side at a time - steering gear near the pinion area - base of the steering column housing - radiator surge tank 3. If the noise is coming from the upper strut mount or sway bar link, replace as necessary and retest. 4. For 2004-2006 Chevrolet and Pontiac model year vehicles, the noise may be coming from the radiator surge tank area. (The 2007 model year vehicles use a different style radiator surge tank - refer to Step 9.) 5. If the noise is coming from the radiator surge tank, release the two retaining tabs holding the radiator surge tank and reposition the tank away from the attaching bracket and isolate with closed cell foam. 6. Cut three pieces of closed cell foam, P/N P46515 (or equivalent), into 25 mm (1 in) by 102 mm (4 in) pieces. 7.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-44-012D (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). DVD Navigation Update Program The data on the DVD map disc ages at a rate of 15-20% per year. As the data ages, the functionality of the navigation system declines. Offering GM customers new navigation DVDs will ensure that the customers have the latest information for their system. General Motors offered a Navigation Disc Update Program for 2006 and 2007 model year vehicles. This program concluded on December 31, 2009. The DVD Navigation Update Program policy has changed and customers are no longer eligible for free annual updates, however, a navigation DVD update disc can be purchased for $199 (USD) + shipping. If the navigation disc is needed for a warranty situation, the disc can be purchased for $120 (USD). The dealer must provide a VIN and RO# to qualify for the reduced price. The dealer must call the GM Navigation Disc Center, as this option is not available on the website. The GM Navigation Disc Center launched on March 15, 2006. There are two ways to obtain an updated disc: - Via the web through gmnavdisc.com - GM Navigation Disc Center Navigation Disc Diagnostic Aid The following table can be used to identify acceptable discs for testing the navigation unit's map drive functionality. This should only be used to verify the map drive's ability to read the map disc properly and to determine if there is an issue with the unit's map drive or the disc. Some functions, such as voice recognition, may not work properly with some of the discs in the list. If the disc is found to be defective always contact the GM Navigation Disc Center to obtain the most recent disc for the vehicle. AVN Software Update Discs Technical Service Bulletins are sometimes generated to address specific navigation radio operational or performance issues. When a navigation radio bulletin is issued, it may contain instructions to utilize an advanced vehicle navigation (AVN) software update with a specific part number. GM dealers must order advanced vehicle navigation (AVN) software update discs as directed in the specific bulletin. AVN software update discs are for the dealer to update the navigation radio software only. They do NOT update or replace the navigation map disc that is supplied with the vehicle. Please order these parts only as needed. There is a limited supply of these discs available. Do not order these discs for stock. AVN software update discs can be used to reprogram more than one vehicle. The first update disc for each P/N is free. Subsequent copies of the same P/N for the same dealer will cost $50 (USD). To obtain an AVN software update disc, follow the specific ordering information provided in the bulletin. Page 9837 10. Install the driver/left outer trim cover to the I/P. 11.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Page 9073 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 6363 Page 13684 2.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-07-30-036G (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). Some dealership technicians may have difficulty diagnosing DTC P0756, 2-3 Shift Valve Performance on 4L60-E, 4L65-E or 4L70E automatic transmissions. As detailed in the Service Manual, when the PCM detects a 4-3-3-4 shift pattern, DTC P0756 will set. Some customers may also describe a condition of a second, third or fourth gear start that may have the same causes but has not set this DTC yet. Below are some tips when diagnosing this DTC: ^ This is a performance code. This means that a mechanical malfunction exists. ^ This code is not set by electrical issues such as a damaged wiring harness or poor electrical connections. Electrical problems would cause a DTC P0758, P0787 or P0788 to set. ^ The most likely cause is chips/debris plugging the filtered AFL oil at orifice # 29 on the top of the spacer plate (48). This is a very small hole and is easily plugged by a small amount of debris. It is important to remove the spacer plate and inspect orifice # 29 and the immediate area for the presence of chips/debris. Also, the transmission case passage directly above this orifice and the valve body passage directly below should be inspected and cleaned of any chips/debris. For 2003 and newer vehicles the spacer plate should be replaced. The service replacement spacer plate is a bonded style with gaskets and solenoid filter screens bonded to the spacer plate. These screens can help to prevent plugging of orifice # 29 caused by small debris or chips. ^ This code could be set if the 2-3 shift valve (368) were stuck or hung-up in its bore. Inspect the 2-3 shift valve (368) and the 2-3 shuttle valve (369) for free movement or damage and clean the valves, the bore and the valve body passages. ^ This code could be set by a 2-3 shift solenoid (367b) if it were cracked, broken or leaking. Refer to Shift Solenoid Leak Test in the appropriate Service Manual for the leak test procedure. Based on parts return findings, a damaged or leaking shift solenoid is the least likely cause of this condition. Simply replacing a shift solenoid will not correct this condition unless the solenoid has been found to be cracked, broken or leaking. It is important to also refer to the appropriate Service Manual or Service Information (SI) for further possible causes of this condition. Disclaimer Page 10558 16.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 6649 3. Use a small flat-bladed tool to gently pry off the dress cover by inserting the tool under the cover opposite the harness side and prying up. 4. Remove the cover. 5. Using a small flat-bladed tool, push on the side of the nose piece retainer while pushing the nose piece forward with your thumb. This will release the terminal position assurance (TPA). 6. Insert the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) into the corresponding terminal release cavity. The release cavities are the 2 center rows of cavities on one half of the connector. Page 32 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 8082 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown. Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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 Page 374 ^ SP303 The following modules, components, and splice pack are connected to the star portion of the class 2 serial data circuit: ^ SP300 ^ Audio amplifier ^ Driver door module (DDM) ^ Driver door switch assembly (DDSA) ^ Memory seat module (MSM) ^ Left rear door module (LRDM) AND ^ SP303 ^ Antenna module ^ Front passenger door module (FPDM) ^ Rear integration module (RIM) ^ Right rear door module (RRDM) ^ Theft deterrent module (TDM) ^ Vehicle communication interface module (VCIM). Refer to Data Communication Schematics and Data Link Communications Description and Operation in SI. Part 2 Conditions for Running the DTC Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts. DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current. The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTC A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5 seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication. Action Taken When the DTC Sets The module uses a default value for the missing parameter. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. Diagnostic Aids When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or U1255 is set. Page 11139 Seat Belt Retractor: Service and Repair Center Rear (Sedan) SEAT BELT RETRACTOR REPLACEMENT - CENTER REAR (SEDAN) REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5.

While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 2359 Page 5116 Page 6955 Fuel Return Line: Service and Repair Fuel Hose/Pipes Replacement - Chassis FUEL HOSE/PIPES REPLACEMENT - CHASSIS REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 7798 Page 11507 Models The service procedure in this bulletin has been revised. Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005 Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued September 2008. Condition In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On Star(R) is unable to continue analog service. OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However, since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call, the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained. Special Policy Adjustment At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service will be made at no charge to the customer. This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles. Vehicles Involved Page 4629 Throttle Position Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 5421 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 7849 For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 2156 PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening. ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener.

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

General Information 1. The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear, or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have a no power/no communication condition. 2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com. 3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle. Note: If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module. 4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original analog production or digital upgrade. 5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required for a new module replacement. Do not discard. 6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. Page 4228 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 12223 2007 Model Year Vehicles and Newer all have Digital OnStar(R) Modules. Part 1 OnStar(R) Description and Operation This OnStar(R) digital system consists of the following components: ^ Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) ^ OnStar(R) button assembly ^ Microphone ^ Cellular antenna ^ Navigation antenna Note This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system. Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging. Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the serial data bus. The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R) system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand. The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request. OnStar(R) Button Assembly The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit. The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as follows: ^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer and end calls or initiate speech recognition. ^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to connect to the OnStar(R) call center. ^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed. The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit. When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed. The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will flash red during the call. If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the account status. Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly. Page 3778 ^ Tighten the bolts to 10 Nm (7 ft. lbs.). 31. Install the right headlamp. 32.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-020B (Section 03 - Suspension). 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 Page 1806 Throttle Position Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 4768 Page 4405 11.

Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Locations Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid: Locations Automatic Transmission Electronic Component Views Electronic Components Electronic Components 13 - TFP Manual Valve Position Switch Assembly 46 - Input Speed Sensor 62 - Output Speed Sensor 305 - 1-2 and 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valves 305 - 1-2 and 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valves 312 Pressure Control Solenoid 335 - TCC Control PWM Solenoid Page 7491 Page 9210 C130 Engine Harness to Fuel Injector Harness Page 12572 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6.

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.

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 4945 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3.

The ICM fires the correct ignition coil at the correct time based on the signals. The ICM detects if cylinder 1 or cylinder 3 is on the compression stroke by sensing the secondary voltage and polarity of each side of the ignition coil. The ICM detects this voltage with sensing circuitry integrated into each ignition coil. The higher voltage is on the compressing cylinder. This is called compression sense ignition. The ICM provides a synthesized cam signal to the PCM based on these inputs. The PCM uses the cam signal to synchronize fuel injection. This system consists of the following circuits: - An ignition voltage circuit - A ground circuit - A camshaft position (CMP) sensor signal circuit - An IC timing control circuit for cylinders #1 and #4 - An IC timing control B circuit for cylinders #2 and #3 Page 5432 3. Use a small flat-bladed tool to gently pry off the dress cover by inserting the tool under the cover opposite the harness side and prying up. 4. Remove the cover. 5. Using a small flat-bladed tool, push on the side of the nose piece retainer while pushing the nose piece forward with your thumb. This will release the terminal position assurance (TPA). 6. Insert the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) into the corresponding terminal release cavity. The release cavities are the 2 center rows of cavities on one half of the connector. Page 1756 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 11516 Page 10636 Refrigerant Oil: Service and Repair 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.

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. Disclaimer Page 5414 Page 699 Disclaimer Page 3659 Page 3097 6.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types of circuit breakers are used. 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.

Clear a space on the ground about 1.85 m (6 ft) in diameter for deployment of the seat belt pretensioner. If possible, use a paved, outdoor location free of activity. Otherwise, use a space free of activity on the shop floor. Make sure you have sufficient ventilation. 7. Make sure no loose or flammable objects are in the area. 8. Place the J 39401-B in the center of the cleared area. 9. Fill the fixture plastic reservoir with water or sand. 10. Mount the seat belt pretensioner in the SIR deployment fixture with the seat belt webbing exiting through the top of the pretensioner. Use the following mounting method. - Adjust and secure two of the J 39401-B arms to the deployment fixture, with the short slotted portions of the arms standing vertically and facing toward the center of the deployment fixture. - To mount, use the proper size bolt and nut with washers in order to secure the seat belt pretensioner mounting hole between the two deployment fixture brackets. - Securely tighten all fasteners prior to deployment. 11. Inspect the J 38826 and the appropriate pigtail adapter for damage. Replace as needed. 12. Short the 2 SIR deployment harness (1) leads together using 1 banana plug seated into the other. Page 5620 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 786 2.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 13504 Disclaimer Page 857 Steps 7-14 The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 6. This step tests for battery voltage on the incorrect signal circuits. 7. This step tests for no battery voltage on the required signal circuits. 8. If any ignition switch parameters that should be inactive in the present ignition switch position are active, 2 ignition switch signal circuits may be shorted together. 9. This step eliminates open circuits as the cause of the malfunction. Page 2173 Knock Sensor: Description and Operation KNOCK SENSOR (KS) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION PURPOSE The knock sensor (KS) system enables the control module to control the ignition timing for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from potentially damaging levels of detonation. The control module uses the KS system to test for abnormal engine noise that may indicate detonation, also known as spark knock. SENSOR DESCRIPTION This KS system uses one or two flat response two-wire sensors. The sensor uses piezo-electric crystal technology that produces an 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 KS detects. The control module receives the KS signal through a signal circuit. The KS ground is supplied by the control module through a low reference circuit. The control module learns a minimum noise level, or background noise, at idle from the KS and uses calibrated values for the rest of the RPM range. The control module uses the minimum noise level to calculate a noise channel. A normal KS signal will ride within the noise channel. As engine speed and load change, the noise channel upper and lower parameters will change to accommodate the normal KS signal, keeping the signal within the channel. In order to determine which cylinders are knocking, the control module only uses KS signal information when each cylinder is near top dead center (TDC) of the firing stroke. If knock is present, the signal will range outside of the noise channel. If the control module has determined that knock is present, it will retard the ignition timing to attempt to eliminate the knock. The control module will always try to work back to a zero compensation level, or no spark retard. An abnormal KS signal will stay outside of the noise channel or will not be present. KS diagnostics are calibrated to detect faults with the KS circuitry inside the control module, the KS wiring, or the KS voltage output. Some diagnostics are also calibrated to detect constant noise from an outside influence such as a loose/damaged component or excessive engine mechanical noise. Page 14004 1.

If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 4262 Page 4145 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 11165 Page 3829 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 6389 Throttle Position Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Electrical - Various Electrical Systems Malfunctions Body Control Module: Customer Interest Electrical - Various Electrical Systems Malfunctions TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 08-05-22-009C Date: September 30, 2010 Subject: Intermittently Brake Lights (Stop Lamps) Do Not Function Correctly, Extended Travel to Shift Out of Park, Cruise Control Inoperative, DTCs C0131, C0161 or C0277 Set (Perform Repair as Outlined) Models: 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu, Malibu Maxx 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic 2008-2011 Chevrolet Malibu 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 2007-2009 Saturn AURA Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the models. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-05-22-009B (Section 05 - Brakes). Condition Some customers may comment that intermittently the brake lights do not function correctly. Other symptoms may include extended pedal travel required to shift out of PARK, cruise control does not function correctly, and DTC C0131, C0161 and/or C0277 may be set. Cause The most likely cause of this condition is high resistance due to terminal fretting corrosion in the body control module (BCM) C2 or X2 connector (specifically pins 18, 31 and 59). Correction DO NOT replace the BCM for this condition. Disconnecting the C2 or X2 connector, adding dielectric lubricant and reconnecting the connector per the procedure below will correct the high resistance condition due to terminal fretting corrosion. 1. Remove the right side front floor console side trim panel to access to the Body Control Module (BCM). 2. Locate the C2 or X2 connector on the BCM. 3. Unlatch the connector and disconnect the connector from the BCM. 4. Apply dielectric lubricant (clear gel), GM P/N 12377900 (in Canada, use P/N 10953529) or equivalent, on all the connector pins (apply with a one-inch nylon bristle brush). This will treat the pins against fretting corrosion. 5. Reconnect the connector back on the BCM and re-latch. Wipe away any excess lubricant. 6. Reinstall the right side front floor console side trim panel. 7. Using the Tech 2(R), check that the BPPS ratio is equal to BPPS learned home when the brake pedal is not depressed. - If they are equal, the brake lamps should be operating correctly and no further steps are necessary. - If they are not equal, perform the Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration procedure in SI to complete the repair. 8. Verify proper operation of the brake lights. If incorrect, refer to SI and perform normal diagnostics. Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Page 11175 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 8902 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 6341 1.

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.

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

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 11783 Action Taken When the DTCs Sets The module suspends all message transmission. The module uses default values for all parameters received on the serial data circuits. The module inhibits the setting of all other communication DTCs. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction. Circuit/System Verification Refer to Data Link References to determine which serial data system is used for a specific module. This DTC cannot be retrieved with a current status. Diagnosis is accomplished using the following symptom procedures: Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device in SI. OR Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Low Speed GMLAN Device in SI. DTC U0140 - U0184 Circuit Description Modules connected to the GMLAN serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. In addition to this, Node Alive messages are transmitted by each module on the GMLAN serial data circuit. When the module detects one of the following conditions on the GMLAN serial data circuit, a DTC will set. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. In addition to this, Node Alive messages are transmitted by each module on the GMLAN serial data circuit. Conditions for Setting the DTCs Diagnostic algorithms are designed so that a single point failure within a particular node shall result in a single DTC/FTB combination being set. Any recognized faults shall generate one DTC. Recognized faults may include but are not limited to the following: ^ Open or shorted condition on an I/O Circuit outside of normal operation of that circuit. ^ Erratic signal of a circuit, outside of normal operation, which can be readily and repeatedly recognized as erratic. ^ A condition, outside of normal operation, which causes a customer perception of a performance problem. ^ A condition whether hardware or data link error, which causes a device to operate in a default or fail soft mode. ^ A condition which changes or limits system performance. ^ Network supervision/signal supervision errors. ^ ECU Internal errors. ^ Criteria determined by legislation. An initialization or shutdown self-test shall be performed and may include but is not limited to the following: ^ RAM check ^ ROM/EEPROM/Flash check Page 12892 OnStar(R) Microphone The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit. In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the microphone. Cellular and GPS Antennas The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas: ^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas. ^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a single part. ^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM). The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna. The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10 minutes to register in the event of a loss of power. Audio System Interface When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle receives a call with the radio ON. On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return to its previous setting. OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it. By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands. The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network. The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body control module (BCM). OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle) The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended. A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2 and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by accessing www.onstarenrollment.com All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After 48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF, Diagram Information and Instructions Knock Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions Passenger Car Zoning PASSENGER CAR ZONING All grounds, in-line connectors, pass-through grommets, and splices have identifying numbers that correspond to where they are located in the vehicle.

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Engine, A/T Controls - Shared Diagnostic Trouble Codes Engine Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Engine, A/T Controls - Shared Diagnostic Trouble Codes Bulletin No.: 05-06-04-060 Date: September 23, 2005 INFORMATION Subject: Powertrain Control Module (PCM), Engine Control Module (ECM), Transmission Control Module (TCM) Diagnostic Trouble Code(s) (DTC)(s) P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P1621 Shared In Multiple Modules Models: 2005-2006 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2005-2006 HUMMER H2 2006 HUMMER H3 2005-2006 Saab 9-7X Beginning in 2005, some control modules (ECM's, TCM's) have specific codes that describe internal failures of the module.

Disclaimer Page 1664 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 12832 9. Erase the diagnostic trouble codes. 10. Set the date and time, see WIS - 3.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 3615 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown. Skip the steps that do not apply for your terminal repair. The J-38125 contains further information. 1. Cut off the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp. Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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.

The CKP sensor produces an AC voltage of different amplitude and frequency. The frequency depends on the velocity of the crankshaft. The AC voltage output depends on the crankshaft position and the battery voltage. The CKP sensor works in conjunction with a 7X reluctor wheel attached to the crankshaft. The CKP sensor produces 7 pulses for each revolution of the crankshaft. The pulse from the 10-degree notch is known as the sync pulse. The sync pulse is used to synchronize the coil firing sequence with the crankshaft position. The CKP sensor is used for ignition timing, the fuel injector timing, misfire diagnostics and tachometer display. The CKP sensor is connected to the ECM by a signal circuit and a low reference circuit. Page 11650 Parts Information Testing and Inspection Main Relay (Computer/Fuel System): Testing and Inspection POWERTRAIN RELAY DIAGNOSIS CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The powertrain relay is a normally open relay. The relay armature is held in the open position by spring tension. Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the relay coil and the armature contact at all times. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies the ground path to the relay coil control circuit, via an internal integrated circuit called an output driver module (ODM). When the PCM commands the relay ON, the relay coil creates an electromagnetic field. This electromagnetic field overcomes the spring tension and pulls the armature contact into the stationary contact of the relay load circuit. The closing of the relay contacts allows current to flow from the battery to the following fuses and relay. The ETC FUSE - The EMISSION FUSE - The A/C CLUTCH RELAY When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, power is interrupted to the output driver module in the PCM, and the relay electromagnetic field collapses. This action allows the spring tension pulling on the armature to separate from the relay load circuit contact, which interrupts current flow to the fuses and relay. If the powertrain relay fails to close the engine will crank, but may or may not run. The class II communications will be available with the use of a scan tool. The powertrain relay system diagnosis table assumes that the vehicle battery is fully charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test in Starting and Charging. See: Starting and Charging/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Battery Inspection/Test TEST Page 12275 ^ On 2002 Sevilles and DeVilles, the GPS jumper cable MUST be unclipped from the back seat cross brace, or unplugged from the VCIM first. DO NOT pull back on the mounting bracket until the GPS antenna jumper cable is unclipped from the back seat cross brace or unplugged from the VCIM. The short length of jumper cable does not allow the VCIM mounting bracket to be pulled back very far, and could lead to a break at the VCIM connector. ^ On 2000-2002 Bonnevilles and LeSabres and 2001-2002 Auroras you will need to follow these steps: 1. Remove the 4 nuts that secure the VCU/VIU bracket assembly to the rear seat back brace. Note: Save these nuts for later use. 2. Remove and discard the plastic VCU/VIU bracket assembly from the vehicle. 3. Remove the upper right stud (1) from the rear seat back brace and re-install in the middle lower slot (2) on the brace.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-006B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R) will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected. It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure. In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R) module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery. The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes. After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position. If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge. Warranty Information (excluding Saab US Models) For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.

If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 1926 Conversion - English/Metric Part 2 Diagnostic Work Sheets DIAGNOSTIC WORK SHEETS The GM Diagnostic Worksheet has been designed to improve communications between the service customer and the technician.

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 Page 5697 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 2275 6.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 11157 6.

Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling Zone 2 or to SIR Disabling and Enabling Zone 6. Page 105 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 12396 Involved are certain vehicles within the VIN breakpoints shown above. PARTS INFORMATION -- Saab US Only Customer Notification General Motors will notify customers of this special coverage on their vehicles (see copy of typical customer letter shown in this bulletin - actual divisional letter may vary slightly). Page 12105 Page 3222 2.

Close the luggage compartment floor. 9. Fold down the left-hand rear side hatch in the luggage compartment. 10. M03: Replace the optic cable on the left-hand rear side: 10.1. Place the optic cable so that it is positioned behind the terminal housing on top of REC (A). 10.2. Remove the locking strip (B) on the 2-pin connector (H2-9) for the optic cable. 10.3. Open the terminal housing (C) with a screwdriver. Remove the secondary catch (D) on the connector and disconnect the optic cable coming from the OnStar(R) control modules. Page 4836 Page 3999 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 14107 Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. 1. Position the assist handle into place and install the fasteners.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM 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.

Next, record the Hertz (Hz) reading as displayed by the EVA onto the tire data worksheet found at the end of this bulletin. This should be done after a tire break-in period of at least 16 km (10 mi) at 72 km/h (45 mph) or greater, in order to eliminate any possible tire flat-spotting. This reading confirms what the vehicle vibration frequency is prior to vehicle service and documents the amount of improvement occurring as the result of the various steps taken to repair. Completing the Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet below is required. A copy of the completed worksheet must be saved with the R.O. and a copy included with any parts returned to the Warranty Parts Center for analysis. A reading of 35 to 50 Hz typically indicates a first order propshaft vibration. If this is the situation, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 08-07-30-044D. Generally, a reading between 10 and 20 Hz indicates a tire/wheel vibration and if this is the reading obtained, continue using this bulletin. If the tire 1st order vibration goes away and stays away during this evaluation, the cause is likely tire flat-spotting. Tire flat-spotting vibration may come and go at any speed over 72 km/h (45 mph) during the first 10 minutes of operation, if vibration continues after 10 minutes of driving at speeds greater than 72 km/h (45 mph), tire flat-spotting can be ruled out as the cause for vibration. 6. If flat-spotting is the cause, provide the explanation that this has occurred due to the vehicle being parked for long periods of time and that the nature of the tire is to take a set. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E: Information on Tire/Wheel Characteristics (Vibration, Balance, Shake, Flat Spotting) of GM Original Equipment Tires. 7. If the road test indicates a shake/vibration exists, check the imbalance of each tire/wheel assembly on a known, calibrated, off-car dynamic balancer.Make sure the mounting surface of the wheel and the surface of the balancer are absolutely clean and free of debris. Be sure to chose the proper cone/collet for the wheel, and always use the pilot bore for centering. Never center the wheel using the hub-cap bore since it is not a precision machined surface. If any assembly calls for more than 1/4 ounce on either rim flange, remove all balance weights and rebalance to as close to zero as possible. If you can see the vibration (along with feeling it) in the steering wheel (driving straight without your hands on the wheel), it is very likely to be a tire/wheel first order (one pulse per revolution) disturbance. First order disturbances can be caused by imbalance as well as non-uniformities in tires, wheels or hubs. This first order frequency is too low for a human to hear, but if the amplitude is high enough, it can be seen. If a vibration or shake still exists after balancing, any out of round conditions, of the wheel, and force variation conditions of the tire, must be addressed. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 can address both (it is also a wheel balancer). Tire radial force vibration (RFV) can be defined as the amount of stiffness variation the tire will produce in one revolution under a constant load. Radial force variation is what the vehicle feels because the load (weight) of the vehicle is always on the tires. Although free runout of tires (not under load) is not always a good indicator of a smooth ride, it is critical that total tire/wheel assembly runout be within specification. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 loads the tire, similar to on the vehicle, and measures radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Note that the wheel is affecting the tire's RFV measurement at this point. To isolate the wheel, its runout must be measured. This can be easily done on the Hunter, without the need to set up dial indicators. If the wheel meets the runout specification, the tire's RFV can then be addressed. After measuring the tire/wheel assembly under load, and the wheel alone, the machine then calculates (predicts) the radial force variation of the tire. However, because this is a prediction that can include mounting inaccuracies, and the load wheel is much smaller in diameter than used in tire production, this type of service equipment should NOT be used to audit new tires. Rather, it should be used as a service diagnostic tool to minimize radial force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 does an excellent job of measuring wheel runout, and of finding the low point of the wheel (for runout) and the high point of the tire (for radial force variation). This allows the tire to be matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly force variation. The machine will simplify this process into easy steps. The following assembly radial force variation numbers should be used as a guide: When measuring RFV and match mounting tires perform the following steps. Measuring Wheel Runout and Assembly Radial Force Variation Important The completed worksheet at the end of this bulletin must be attached to the hard copy of the repair order. - Measure radial force variation and radial runout. - If a road force/balancing machine is used, record the radial force variation (RFV) on the worksheet at the end of this bulletin. It may be of benefit to have the lowest RFV assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires onto the subject vehicle. - If a runout/balancing machine is used, record the radial runout of the tire/wheel assemblies on the worksheet at the end of this bulletin. If one or more of the tire/wheel assemblies are more than.040 in (1.02 mm), match mount the tire to the wheel to get below.040 in (1.02 mm). For sensitive customers, readings of 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) or less are preferable, it may also be of benefit to have the lowest runout assembly to the front left corner. If the machine is not available and the EVA data suggests there is an issue, swap the tire and wheel assemblies from the front to the back. Re-check on the EVA and if the problem still exists, test another vehicle to find tires that do not exhibit the same frequency and swap those tires Page 7421 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4.

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

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 11259 Page 5438 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown.

Minimize any wire loss.For cable seal terminals, remove the seal. 2. Apply the correct cable seal per gage size of the wire, if used.Slide the seal back along the wire in order to enable insulation removal. 3. Remove the insulation. 4. For sealed terminals only, align the seal with the end of the cable insulation. 5. Position the strip in the terminal.For sealed terminals, position the strip and seal in the terminal. 6. Hand crimp the core wings. 7. Hand crimp the insulation wings.For sealed terminals, hand crimp the insulation wings around the seal and the cable. 8. Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. 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.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 8567 13. Use a Dial Indicator to measure the rotor to verify the LRO is within specification. 14. If using, BENCH LATHE - DO NOT remove conical washers and lug nuts at this time. ON-CAR LATHE - You must remove adapter and install conical washers and lug nuts to retain rotor position. Important For Hubless rotor design, while removing the adapter, you must hold the rotor tight to the hub and install the top conical washer and lug nut first to ensure no debris falls between the surface while removing the adapter. Then, install the remaining conical washers and lug nuts. Otherwise, LRO will be comprised. 15. Perform Steps 1 through 7 on the opposite side of the vehicle (steps 1-12, if performing LRO). 16. Reinstall the rotors on both sides of the vehicle and perform the following steps: 1. Reinstall the calipers and pads. 2. Pump the brakes to pressurize the calipers. 3. Remove the lug nuts/conical washers. 4. Install and properly torque the wheels. Important It is critical to follow the star pattern wheel torque procedure and use the proper tools (torque stick or torque wrench) as referenced in SI. 17. Road test the vehicle to verify the repairs. Brake Lathe Calibration Procedure BRAKE LATHE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE Calibration of the brake lathe should be performed and recorded monthly or whenever post-service brake rotor LRO measurements are consistently reading above specification. BENCH-TYPE LATHE Use the following procedure to calibrate a Bench-type brake lathe: 1. After refinishing a rotor, loosen the arbor nut and while holding the inside bell clamp to keep it from rotating, rotate the rotor 180 degrees. 2. Retighten the arbor nut and set the dial indicator on the rotor using the same instructions as checking the run out on the vehicle. 3. Rotate the arbor and read the runout. 4. Divide the reading by two and this will give you the amount of runout the lathe is cutting into the rotor. Important If there is any runout, you will need to machine the inside bell clamp in place on the lathe (this procedure is for a Bench type lathe ONLY, DO NOT machine inside the bell clamp on an On-Car type lathe). Machining the Inside Bell Clamp (Bench Type Lathe Only) Any nicks or burrs on the shoulder of the arbor must be removed. An 80-grit stone can be used to accomplish this. Spray WD-40(R) on the shoulder and with the lathe running, hold the stone flat against the shoulder surface using slight pressure. When the burrs are gone, clean the surface. Burrs must also be removed from the hub of the inside bell clamp. This can be accomplished with the stone and WD-40(R). Keep the stone flat on the hub while removing the burrs. After removing the burrs, clean the hub. Place the bell clamp on the arbor of the lathe and use the small radius adapters first and then spacers to allow you to tighten the arbor nut to secure the bell clamp to the lathe. Position the tool bit in the left hand of the rotor truer so you can machine the face of the bell clamp. Machine the face of the bell clamp taking just enough off of it to cut the full face of the clamp the full 360 degrees. Before you loosen the arbor nut, match mark the hub of the bell clamp to the arbor and line up these marks before machining a rotor. A magic marker can be used to make the match marks. Machine a rotor and recheck the calibration. Repeat this procedure on all Inside Bell Clamps used. Page 4131 3. Use a small flat-bladed tool to gently pry off the dress cover by inserting the tool under the cover opposite the harness side and prying up. 4. Remove the cover. 5. Using a small flat-bladed tool, push on the side of the nose piece retainer while pushing the nose piece forward with your thumb. This will release the terminal position assurance (TPA). 6. Insert the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) into the corresponding terminal release cavity. The release cavities are the 2 center rows of cavities on one half of the connector. Page 5514 Page 6985 Parts Information Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table above.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 11583 ^ SP303 The following modules, components, and splice pack are connected to the star portion of the class 2 serial data circuit: ^ SP300 ^ Audio amplifier ^ Driver door module (DDM) ^ Driver door switch assembly (DDSA) ^ Memory seat module (MSM) ^ Left rear door module (LRDM) AND ^ SP303 ^ Antenna module ^ Front passenger door module (FPDM) ^ Rear integration module (RIM) ^ Right rear door module (RRDM) ^ Theft deterrent module (TDM) ^ Vehicle communication interface module (VCIM). Refer to Data Communication Schematics and Data Link Communications Description and Operation in SI. Part 2 Conditions for Running the DTC Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts. DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current. The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTC A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5 seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication. Action Taken When the DTC Sets The module uses a default value for the missing parameter. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. Diagnostic Aids When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or U1255 is set. Page 3651 Page 9819 5. Locate and remove the AIR BAG (IGN) and AIR BAG (BATT) fuses from the BCM fuse center. IMPORTANT: This inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) has two fused power inputs.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested.

If the vehicle is equipped with a compact spare tire, do not repair the compact spare. Page 7513 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1.

While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 1918 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 11385 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 8013 4. Remove the drive axle retaining clip from the output axle. 5. Use the J 41227 in order to remove the sleeve from the output axle shaft. 6. Clean and inspect the seal bore. 7. Use fine sand paper in order to remove any burrs or nicks. Clean the entire area after any sanding. Installation Procedure 1. Use the J 41102 and a mallet in order to install the new case cover seal. 2. Use the J 41228 in order to install a new sleeve on the output axle. Install the J 41228 so that the collar is in the snap ring groove. Page 6891 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 10869 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3.

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

This bulletin is intended to quickly review and reinforce simple but vital procedures to reduce the possibility of achieving low torque during wheel installation. Always refer to SI for wheel lug nut torque specifications and complete jacking instructions for safe wheel changing. Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to include the 2011 model year and update the available special tool list. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-03-10-010 (Section 03 Suspension). Frequency of Wheel Changes - Marketplace Driven Just a few years ago, the increasing longevity of tires along with greater resistance to punctures had greatly reduced the number of times wheels were removed to basically required tire rotation intervals. Today with the booming business in accessory wheels/special application tires (such as winter tires), consumers are having tire/wheel assemblies removed - replaced - or installed more than ever. With this increased activity, it opens up more of a chance for error on the part of the technician. This bulletin will review a few of the common concerns and mistakes to make yourself aware of. Proper Servicing Starts With the Right Tools The following tools have been made available to assist in proper wheel and tire removal and installation. - J 41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent) - J 42450-A Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit (or equivalent) Corroded Surfaces One area of concern is corrosion on the mating surfaces of the wheel to the hub on the vehicle. Excessive corrosion, dirt, rust or debris built up on these surfaces can mimic a properly tightened wheel in the service stall. Once the vehicle is driven, the debris may loosen, grind up or be washed away from water splash. This action may result in clearance at the mating surface of the wheel and an under-torqued condition. Caution Before installing a wheel, remove any buildup on the wheel mounting surface and brake drum or brake disc mounting surface. Installing wheels with poor metal-to-metal contact at the mounting surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen. This may cause a wheel to come off when the vehicle is moving, possibly resulting in a loss of control or personal injury. Whenever you remove the tire/wheel assemblies, you must inspect the mating surfaces. If corrosion is found, you should remove the debris with a die grinder equipped with a fine sanding pad, wire brush or cleaning disc. Just remove enough material to assure a clean, smooth mating surface. The J 41013 (or equivalent) can be used to clean the following surfaces: - The hub mounting surface - The brake rotor mounting surface - The wheel mounting surface Use the J 42450-A (or equivalent) to clean around the base of the studs and the hub. Lubricants, Grease and Fluids Page 8883 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 1032 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 1333 Page 9364 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 5960 Page 12145 8.2. Remove the console (A) together with the OnStar(R) control modules. 8.3. Remove the connectors (B). Important: The optic cable must not be bent with a radius less than 25 mm (1 in). Important: Secure the wiring harness so that there is no risk of chafing and rattling. 8.4. Fold back the wiring harness and tape over the connectors (C). Fold back the wiring harness once more and secure with cable ties (D). Page 1013 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 6797 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 13011 Important: Secure the wiring harness so that there is no risk of chafing and rattling. 9.4. Fold back the wiring harness and tape over the connectors (C). Fold back the wiring harness once more and secure with cable ties (D). 9.5. Install the right-hand rear luggage compartment in accordance with WIS - 8. Body - Interior equipment - Adjustment/Replacement. 10. Install the ground cable to the battery's negative terminal. 11. Clear the diagnostic trouble codes. 12. Set the date and time, see WIS - 3.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-49-016A (Section 08 - Body & Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment that the backlighting on the IPC does not illuminate in the daylight hours with headlamps manually turned on. They may further state that the backlighting does function at night, but not in the day time. Cause On these vehicles, backlighting for the IPC is not enabled unless the vehicle's lighting photocell determines that there is a nighttime ambient condition. Backlighting is not controlled through the use of the park lamp or headlamp switch. The conditions under which the photocell activates the backlighting may not satisfy each particular customer's personal expectations, or the customer may simply prefer to have the backlighting always illuminated on the IPC when headlamps are manually turned on. Correction Module reprogramming must be done using the Pass-Thru method. Select "Instrument Panel (Backlight Dimming Fix ONLY)" from the Supported Controllers list. For customers who wish to have the IPC backlighting illuminated, a new service calibration is now available that will activate the backlighting to full intensity during daytime hours with headlamps manually turned on. Reprogram the BCM using SPS. The new calibrations are currently available on TIS2WEB.

The vehicle location icon accuracy may be degraded if the GPS signal is not available and the GPS displayed icon has a red line through it. The Navigation Radio does not keep learned GPS information or gyroscope and vehicle speed signals stored when the battery power is removed from the radio. The Navigation radio continually uses GPS, gyroscope and vehicle speed data to maintain the vehicle location icon positioned accurately on the displayed map. There may be periods of time during a drive cycle when the GPS signal may not be available and the vehicle location icon still appears to be accurate. This is due to the radio having internal gyroscopes and receiving a vehicle speed signal to maintain accuracy if the radio had received a good GPS signal earlier in the drive cycle. Normal driving will improve the accuracy of the vehicle location icon on the displayed map. It may be necessary for the vehicle to be driven up to 40 km (25 mi) with 15 left and 15 right turns while the vehicle location icon is matched to roads on the displayed map. Do not replace the radio for this condition.

Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Electrical - MIL ON/DTC's Set By Various Control Modules Wiring Harness: Customer Interest Electrical - MIL ON/DTC's Set By Various Control Modules TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 09-06-03-004D Date: December 08, 2010 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.

The control module uses the KS system to test for abnormal engine noise that may indicate detonation, also known as spark knock. SENSOR DESCRIPTION This KS system uses one or two flat response two-wire sensors. The sensor uses piezo-electric crystal technology that produces an 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 KS detects. The control module receives the KS signal through a signal circuit. The KS ground is supplied by the control module through a low reference circuit. The control module learns a minimum noise level, or background noise, at idle from the KS and uses calibrated values for the rest of the RPM range. The control module uses the minimum noise level to calculate a noise channel. A normal KS signal will ride within the noise channel. As engine speed and load change, the noise channel upper and lower parameters will change to accommodate the normal KS signal, keeping the signal within the channel. In order to determine which cylinders are knocking, the control module only uses KS signal information when each cylinder is near top dead center (TDC) of the firing stroke. If knock is present, the signal will range outside of the noise channel. If the control module has determined that knock is present, it will retard the ignition timing to attempt to eliminate the knock. The control module will always try to work back to a zero compensation level, or no spark retard. An abnormal KS signal will stay outside of the noise channel or will not be present. KS diagnostics are calibrated to detect faults with the KS circuitry inside the control module, the KS wiring, or the KS voltage output. Some diagnostics are also calibrated to detect constant noise from an outside influence such as a loose/damaged component or excessive engine mechanical noise. Page 3912 3.

The APP sensors 1 and 2 are potentiometer type sensors each with 3 circuits: - A 5-volt reference circuit - A low reference circuit - A signal circuit The APP sensors are used to determine the pedal angle. The powertrain control module (PCM) provides each APP sensor a 5-volt reference circuit and a low reference circuit. The APP sensors provide the PCM with signal voltage proportional to the pedal movement. The APP sensor 1 signal voltage at rest position is near the low reference and increases as the pedal is actuated. The APP sensor 2 signal voltage at rest position is near the 5-volt reference and decreases as the pedal is actuated. Page 6881 Page 12337 Vehicles Built with Upgradeable OnStar(R) System Analog Modules Note: Page 9372 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 1765 Conversion - English/Metric Part 2 Diagnostic Work Sheets DIAGNOSTIC WORK SHEETS The GM Diagnostic Worksheet has been designed to improve communications between the service customer and the technician.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 10501 Right Side Of The Instrument Panel And Shifter Steering - Revised Tilt Lever Replacement Tilt Wheel Handle: All Technical Service Bulletins Steering - Revised Tilt Lever Replacement Bulletin No.: 06-02-35-012 Date: May 18, 2006 SERVICE MANUAL UPDATE Subject: Revised Tilt Lever Replacement Models: 2004-2006 Chevrolet Malibu 2005-2006 Pontiac G6 This bulletin is being issued to revise the Tilt Lever Replacement procedure in the Steering Wheel and Column sub-section of the Service Manual.

Verify that the striker properly engages the latch and that no obstructions are preventing the door from closing. Important: Page 1503 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 6816 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 9382 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Page 12577 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 1 Page 7814 7.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. TPMS System - Service And Re-Learning Sensor IDs Tire Pressure Sensor: Technical Service Bulletins TPMS System - Service And Re-Learning Sensor IDs INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 10-03-16-001 Date: July 19, 2010 Subject: TPMS System Service and Re-Learning Sensor IDs Models: 2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2 2009 and Prior HUMMER H3 2010 and Prior Saturn Models 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X with Wheel-Mounted Tire Pressure Sensors In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM) sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25 mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON, indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set. The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared. To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results. It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed. Disclaimer Page 7541 Page 920 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6.

Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 308 9. Erase the diagnostic trouble codes. 10. Set the date and time, see WIS - 3.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 1767 Page 6150 3. Use a small flat-bladed tool to gently pry off the dress cover by inserting the tool under the cover opposite the harness side and prying up. 4. Remove the cover. 5. Using a small flat-bladed tool, push on the side of the nose piece retainer while pushing the nose piece forward with your thumb. This will release the terminal position assurance (TPA). 6. Insert the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) into the corresponding terminal release cavity. The release cavities are the 2 center rows of cavities on one half of the connector. Page 6236 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 616 Page 3620 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Service and Repair Cross-Member: Service and Repair Support Replacement Removal Procedure 1.

Recycling conventional coolant can be accomplished at your facility by a technician using approved EQUIPMENT (listed by model number in Table 3), or by an approved coolant recycling SERVICE which may recycle the coolant at your facility or at an offsite operation. Refer to the table for GM approved coolant recyclers in either of these two categories. Should you decide to recycle the coolant yourself, strict adherence to the operating procedures is imperative. Use ONLY the inhibitor chemicals supplied by the respective (GM approved) recycling equipment manufacturer. Sealing Tablets Cooling System Sealing Tablets (Seal Tabs) should not be used as a regular maintenance item after servicing an engine cooling system. Discoloration of coolant can occur if too many seal tabs have been inserted into the cooling system. This can occur if seal tabs are repeatedly used over the service life of a vehicle. Where appropriate, seal tabs may be used if diagnostics fail to repair a small leak in the cooling system. When a condition appears in which seal tabs may be recommended, a specific bulletin will be released describing their proper usage. Water Quality The integrity of the coolant is dependent upon the quality of DEX-COOL(R) and water. DEX-COOL(R) is a product that has enhanced protection capability as well as an extended service interval. These enhanced properties may be jeopardized by combining DEX-COOL(R) with poor quality water. If you suspect the water in your area of being poor quality, it is recommended you use distilled or de-ionized water with DEX-COOL(R). "Pink" DEX-COOL(R) DEX-COOL(R) is orange in color to distinguish it from other coolants. Due to inconsistencies in the mixing of the dyes used with DEX-COOL(R), some batches may appear pink after time. The color shift from orange to pink does not affect the integrity of the coolant, and still maintains the 5 yr/150,000 mile (240,000 km) service interval. Back Service Only use DEX-COOL(R) if the vehicle was originally equipped with DEX-COOL(R). Page 9881 1.

A review of warranty repair orders and parts returned to GM for analysis suggests that EVAP canisters are being damaged when the vehicle is being put up on a hoist for service. Incorrect placement of the hoist pads may cause a crack/leak in the EVAP canister plastic and eventually set one or both of the following DTCs: - DTC P0442 - small EVAP leak detected - DTC P0455 - large EVAP leak detected To avoid this situation, particularly when using the type of hoist where the arms swing in and the pick up pads swivel, be sure of the placement of the pick up pads. If the pick up pads are not positioned correctly to the underbody pick up areas, this type of damage may occur.

This coolant is designed to remain in your vehicle for 5 years or 150,000 miles (240 000 km), whichever occurs first, if you add only DEX-COOL extended life coolant. A 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL coolant will: ^ Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C). ^ Give boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C). ^ Protect against rust and corrosion. ^ Help keep the proper engine temperature. ^ Let the warning lights and gages work as they should. NOTICE: Using coolant other than DEX-COOL may cause premature engine, heater core or radiator corrosion. In addition, the engine coolant may require changing sooner, at 30,000 miles (50 000 km) or 24 months, whichever occurs first. Any repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Always use DEX-COOL (silicate-free) coolant in your vehicle. WHAT TO USE Use a mixture of one-half clean, drinkable water and one-half DEX-COOL coolant which won't damage aluminum parts. If you use this coolant mixture, you don't need to add anything else. CAUTION: Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be dangerous. Plain water, or some other liquid such as alcohol, can boil before the proper coolant mixture will. Your vehicle's coolant warning system is set for the proper coolant mixture. With plain water or the wrong mixture, your engine could get too hot but you would not get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire and you or others could be burned. Use a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL coolant. NOTICE: If you use an improper coolant mixture, your engine could overheat and be badly damaged. The repair cost would not be covered by your warranty. Too much water in the mixture can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts. If you have to add coolant more than four times a year, check your cooling system. NOTICE: If you use the proper coolant, you do not have to add extra inhibitors or additives which claim to improve the system. These can be harmful. Page 1433 Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch - C2 Page 7320 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 1996 Conversion - English/Metric Part 2 Diagnostic Work Sheets DIAGNOSTIC WORK SHEETS The GM Diagnostic Worksheet has been designed to improve communications between the service customer and the technician.

All nodes also continuously perform a self-test while in an active state. DTCs and their associated telltales will set as a result of unprogrammed or unlearned information. DTCs, which are defined for system configuration (e.g. Vehicle Option Content not programmed) do not support the history status bit (set =0). Warning indicator bit is also set, when applicable, while this DTC is present. Action Taken When the DTCs Sets The module suspends all message transmission. The module uses default values for all parameters received on the serial data circuits. The module inhibits the setting of all other communication DTCs. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction. Circuit/System Verification Refer to Data Link References to determine which serial data system is used for a specific module. The DTCs cannot be retrieved with a current status. Diagnosis is accomplished using the following symptom procedures: Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device in SI. OR Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Low Speed GMLAN Device in SI. DTC U1300, U1301, or U1305 Circuit Description Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. In addition to this, Node Alive messages are transmitted by each module on the Class 2 serial data circuit about once every 2 seconds. When the module detects one of the following conditions on the Class 2 serial data circuit for approximately 3 seconds, the setting of all other Class 2 serial communication DTCs is inhibited and a DTC will set. Conditions for Running the DTCs Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range. The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTCs No valid messages are detected on the Class 2 serial data circuit. The voltage level detected on the Class 2 serial data circuit is in one of the following conditions: Page 1834 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 4420 English Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development ENGLISH PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Thread Inserts THREAD INSERTS General purpose thread repair kits.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 2664 Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection Transmission Fluid Checking Procedure Transmission Fluid Check Electrical - Various Electrical Systems Malfunctions Body Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Electrical - Various Electrical Systems Malfunctions TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 08-05-22-009C Date: September 30, 2010 Subject: Intermittently Brake Lights (Stop Lamps) Do Not Function Correctly, Extended Travel to Shift Out of Park, Cruise Control Inoperative, DTCs C0131, C0161 or C0277 Set (Perform Repair as Outlined) Models: 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu, Malibu Maxx 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic 2008-2011 Chevrolet Malibu 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 2007-2009 Saturn AURA Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the models. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-05-22-009B (Section 05 - Brakes). Condition Some customers may comment that intermittently the brake lights do not function correctly. Other symptoms may include extended pedal travel required to shift out of PARK, cruise control does not function correctly, and DTC C0131, C0161 and/or C0277 may be set. Cause The most likely cause of this condition is high resistance due to terminal fretting corrosion in the body control module (BCM) C2 or X2 connector (specifically pins 18, 31 and 59). Correction DO NOT replace the BCM for this condition. Disconnecting the C2 or X2 connector, adding dielectric lubricant and reconnecting the connector per the procedure below will correct the high resistance condition due to terminal fretting corrosion. 1. Remove the right side front floor console side trim panel to access to the Body Control Module (BCM). 2. Locate the C2 or X2 connector on the BCM. 3. Unlatch the connector and disconnect the connector from the BCM. 4. Apply dielectric lubricant (clear gel), GM P/N 12377900 (in Canada, use P/N 10953529) or equivalent, on all the connector pins (apply with a one-inch nylon bristle brush). This will treat the pins against fretting corrosion. 5. Reconnect the connector back on the BCM and re-latch. Wipe away any excess lubricant. 6. Reinstall the right side front floor console side trim panel. 7. Using the Tech 2(R), check that the BPPS ratio is equal to BPPS learned home when the brake pedal is not depressed. - If they are equal, the brake lamps should be operating correctly and no further steps are necessary. - If they are not equal, perform the Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration procedure in SI to complete the repair. 8. Verify proper operation of the brake lights. If incorrect, refer to SI and perform normal diagnostics. Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Page 11836 6. See wiring diagram shown above for details. 5. Replace the OnStar(R) Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) in the vehicle with the provided Digitally-Capable VCIM. Refer to the Communication Interface Module Replacement procedure in the Cellular Communication section of SI. This kit may include a new VCIM bracket. If it does, use this new bracket on the vehicle and discard the original bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, plug the wiring jumper cable into the connector on the VCIM and the other end to the corresponding vehicle wiring harness connector. ^ For 2001, 2002 and 2003 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, do not reinstall the black plastic OnStar(R) module cover onto the vehicle after the VCIM and module bracket have been installed. This black plastic cover will no longer fit on the vehicle. ^ The upgrade kit for 2002 Sevilles and DeVilles, and some 2003 Sevilles and DeVilles, will contain a large bracket. To install the new VCIM into this bracket you'll need to carefully line up the notch in the VCIM with the tab in the bracket. Page 6039 Steps 8 - 14 Page 4232 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging. Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the serial data bus. The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R) system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand. The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request. OnStar(R) Button Assembly The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit. The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as follows: ^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer and end calls or initiate speech recognition. ^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to connect to the OnStar(R) call center. ^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed. The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit. When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed. The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will flash red during the call. If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the account status. Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly. Page 9696 1. Loosen the inner lower control arm cam bolt nuts. 2.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 12024 4.2.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3.

Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 643 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 9027 Page 4493 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 7212 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 4392 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 4764 Page 7038 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed.

Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 12079 ^ SP303 The following modules, components, and splice pack are connected to the star portion of the class 2 serial data circuit: ^ SP300 ^ Audio amplifier ^ Driver door module (DDM) ^ Driver door switch assembly (DDSA) ^ Memory seat module (MSM) ^ Left rear door module (LRDM) AND ^ SP303 ^ Antenna module ^ Front passenger door module (FPDM) ^ Rear integration module (RIM) ^ Right rear door module (RRDM) ^ Theft deterrent module (TDM) ^ Vehicle communication interface module (VCIM). Refer to Data Communication Schematics and Data Link Communications Description and Operation in SI. Part 2 Conditions for Running the DTC Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts. DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current. The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTC A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5 seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication. Action Taken When the DTC Sets The module uses a default value for the missing parameter. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. Diagnostic Aids When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or U1255 is set. Page 6326 7.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Locations Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid: Locations Automatic Transmission Electronic Component Views Electronic Components Electronic Components 13 - TFP Manual Valve Position Switch Assembly 46 - Input Speed Sensor 62 - Output Speed Sensor 305 - 1-2 and 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valves 305 - 1-2 and 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valves 312 Pressure Control Solenoid 335 - TCC Control PWM Solenoid Page 5186 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1.

Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 1432 Combination Switch: Diagrams Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch - C1 Page 13570 Bulletin No.: 05-08-64-002B Date: April 03, 2006 TECHNICAL Subject: Door Latch Freezing in Cold Temperatures (Apply Super Lube) Models: 2005-2007 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2003-2006 HUMMER H2 2006 HUMMER H3 Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years.

Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices, interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call) by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail. These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations. The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern. When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail, verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed (i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device. Disclaimer Page 593 4.

Verify that the noise is no longer present. Condition 2 There may be interference between the clamp and the steering gear input shaft. The clamp is beveled and if forced down on the input shaft too hard, it may cause a loose fit with the intermediate shaft to input shaft joint. Correction 2 To correct this condition, perform the following steps: 1. Remove the intermediate shaft pinch bolt at the steering gear end. 2. Install a new bolt, GM P/N 07845238, but do not tighten the bolt at this time. 3. Pry the clamp up using a pry bar to position the bolt into the upper part of the groove as shown above. This will position the clamp off the bevel. 4. While keeping the clamp in the upper position, tighten the bolt. Tighten Tighten the bolt to 49 Nm (36 lb ft). 5. Verify that the clunk noise is no longer present. Condition 3 Important This condition ONLY applies to 2004-2007 Chevrolet Malibu/Maxx and 2005-2007 Pontiac G6. Some customers may comment on a knocking or rattling type noise from the front of the vehicle when driven at low speeds and over bumps. The noise only occurs when the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position and sounds like the noise is in the left suspension of the vehicle or directly in front of the driver. Correction 3 1. Ensure the noise is not caused by Condition # 1. 2. Determine the source of the noise. Install the chassis ears at the following locations: - sway bar link - one side at a time - upper strut mount - one side at a time - steering gear near the pinion area - base of the steering column housing - radiator surge tank 3. If the noise is coming from the upper strut mount or sway bar link, replace as necessary and retest. 4. For 2004-2006 Chevrolet and Pontiac model year vehicles, the noise may be coming from the radiator surge tank area. (The 2007 model year vehicles use a different style radiator surge tank - refer to Step 9.) 5. If the noise is coming from the radiator surge tank, release the two retaining tabs holding the radiator surge tank and reposition the tank away from the attaching bracket and isolate with closed cell foam. 6.

Connect the negative battery cable. Page 6030 - The MIL remains illuminated after the engine is started if the control module detects a fault. A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored any time the control module illuminates the MIL due to an emissions related fault. The MIL turns OFF after three consecutive ignition cycles in which a Test Passed has been reported for the diagnostic test that originally caused the MIL to illuminate. - The MIL flashes if the control module detects a misfire condition which could damage the catalytic converter. - When the MIL is illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will remain illuminated as long as the ignition is ON. - When the MIL is not illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition is cycled OFF and then ON. TRIP A trip is an interval of time during which the diagnostic test runs. A trip may consist of only a key cycle to power up the powertrain control module (PCM), allow the diagnostic to run, then cycle the key off to power down the PCM. A trip may also involve a PCM power up, meeting specific conditions to run the diagnostic test, then powering down the PCM. The definition of a trip depends upon the diagnostic. Some diagnostic tests run only once per trip (i.e., catalyst monitor) while other tests run continuously during each trip (i.e., misfire). WARM-UP CYCLE The powertrain control module (PCM) uses warm-up cycles to run some diagnostics and to clear any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). A warm-up cycle occurs when the engine coolant temperature increases 22°C (40°F) from the start-up temperature. The engine coolant must also achieve a minimum temperature of 71°C (160°F). The PCM counts the number of warm-up cycles in order to clear the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). The PCM will clear the DTCs when 40 consecutive warm-up cycles occur without a malfunction. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) The powertrain control module (PCM) is programmed with test routines that test the operation of the various systems the PCM controls. Some tests monitor internal PCM functions. Many tests are run continuously. Other tests run only under specific conditions, referred to as Conditions for Running the DTC. When the vehicle is operating within the conditions for running a particular test, the PCM monitors certain parameters and determines if the values are within an expected range. The parameters and values considered outside the range of normal operation are listed as Conditions for Setting the DTC. When the Conditions for Setting the DTC occur, the PCM executes the Action Taken When the DTC Sets. Some DTCs alert the driver via the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) or a message. Other DTCs do not trigger a driver warning, but are stored in memory. The PCM also saves data and input parameters when most DTCs are set. This data is stored in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records. The DTCs are categorized by type. The DTC type is determined by the MIL operation and the manner in which the fault data is stored when a particular DTC fails. In some cases there may be exceptions to this structure. Therefore, when diagnosing the system it is important to read the Action Taken When the DTC Sets and the Conditions for Clearing the DTC in the supporting text. There are different types of DTCs and different actions taken when the DTCs set. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions for a description of the general characteristics of each DTC type. DTC STATUS When the scan tool displays a DTC, the status of the DTC is also displayed. The following DTC statuses are indicated only when they apply to the DTC that is set. Fail This Ign. (Fail This Ignition): Indicates that this DTC failed during the present ignition cycle. Last Test Fail: Indicates that this DTC failed the last time the test ran. MIL Request: Indicates that this DTC is currently requesting the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). This selection will report type B DTCs only when they have requested the MIL (failed twice). Test Fail SCC (Test Failed Since Code Clear): Indicates that this DTC that has reported a failure since the last time DTCs were cleared. History: Indicates that the DTC is stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) History memory. Type B DTCs will not appear in History until they have requested the MIL (failed twice). History will be displayed for all type A DTCs and type B DTCs (which have requested the MIL) that have failed within the last 40 warm-up cycles. Type C DTCs that have failed within the last 40 warm-up cycles will also appear in History. Not Run SCC (Not Run Since Code Clear): DTCs will be listed in this category if the diagnostic has not run since DTCs were last cleared. This status is not included with the DTC display since the DTC can not be set if the diagnostic has not run. This information is displayed when DTC Info is requested using the scan tool. Page 8200 Transmission Cooler: Technical Service Bulletins A/T - Water Or Coolant Contamination Information INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 08-07-30-035B Date: November 01, 2010 Subject: Information on Water or Ethylene Glycol in Transmission Fluid Models: 2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks with Automatic Transmission Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-07-30-035A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). Water or ethylene glycol in automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is harmful to internal transmission components and will have a negative effect on reliability and durability of these parts. Water or ethylene glycol in ATF will also change the friction of the clutches, frequently resulting in shudder during engagement or gear changes, especially during torque converter clutch engagement. Indications of water in the ATF may include: - ATF blowing out of the transmission vent tube. - ATF may appear cloudy or, in cases of extreme contamination, have the appearance of a strawberry milkshake. - Visible water in the oil pan. - A milky white substance inside the pan area. - Spacer plate gaskets that appear to be glued to the valve body face or case. - Spacer plate gaskets that appear to be swollen or wrinkled in areas where they are not compressed. - Rust on internal transmission iron/steel components. If water in the ATF has been found and the source of the water entry has not been identified, or if a leaking in-radiator transmission oil cooler is suspected (with no evidence of cross-contamination in the coolant recovery reservoir), a simple and quick test kit is available that detects the presence of ethylene glycol in ATF. The "Gly-Tek" test kit, available from the Nelco Company, should be obtained and the ATF tested to make an accurate decision on the need for radiator replacement. This can help to prevent customer comebacks if the in-radiator transmission oil cooler is leaking and reduce repair expenses by avoiding radiator replacement if the cooler is not leaking. These test kits can be obtained from: Nelco Company Test kits can be ordered by phone or through the website listed above. Orders are shipped standard delivery time but can be shipped on a next day delivery basis for an extra charge. One test kit will complete 10 individual fluid sample tests. For vehicles repaired under warranty, the cost of the complete test kit plus shipping charges should be divided by 10 and submitted on the warranty claim as a net item. The transmission should be repaired or replaced based on the normal cost comparison procedure. Important If water or coolant is found in the transmission, the following components MUST be replaced. - Replace all of the rubber-type seals. - Replace all of the composition-faced clutch plates and/or bands. - Replace all of the nylon parts. - Replace the torque converter. - Thoroughly clean and rebuild the transmission, using new gaskets and oil filter. Important The following steps must be completed when repairing or replacing. Flush and flow check the transmission oil cooler using J 45096. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 02-07-30-052F- Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Flush and Flow Test Essential Tool J 45096 TransFlow. - Thoroughly inspect the engine cooling system and hoses and clean/repair as necessary. Page 9521 Multiple Junction Connector: Diagrams C100 Engine Harness to Automatic Transmission Harness Page 2224 This service data uses various symbols in order to describe different service operations. Page 8412 Door Window Regulator Replacement (Manual) Front Door Window Regulator: Service and Repair Door Window Regulator Replacement (Manual) Window Regulator Replacement - Front Door Removal Procedure 1.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 9877 Important: You MUST properly install the teeth into the upper column bracket to prevent steering column movement in the event of a collision. 1.

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2.

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

Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 2820 7. Loosen the 4 bolts across the top of the electrical center. 8.

The relay armature is held in the open position by spring tension. Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the relay coil and the armature contact at all times. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies the ground path to the relay coil control circuit, via an internal integrated circuit called an output driver module (ODM). When the PCM commands the relay ON, the relay coil creates an electromagnetic field. This electromagnetic field overcomes the spring tension and pulls the armature contact into the stationary contact of the relay load circuit. The closing of the relay contacts allows current to flow from the battery to the following fuses and relay. The ETC FUSE - The EMISSION FUSE - The A/C CLUTCH RELAY When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, power is interrupted to the output driver module in the PCM, and the relay electromagnetic field collapses. This action allows the spring tension pulling on the armature to separate from the relay load circuit contact, which interrupts current flow to the fuses and relay. If the powertrain relay fails to close the engine will crank, but may or may not run. The class II communications will be available with the use of a scan tool. The powertrain relay system diagnosis table assumes that the vehicle battery is fully charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test in Starting and Charging. See: Starting and Charging/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Battery Inspection/Test TEST Page 12889 Page 11508 Page 5625 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Diagram Information and Instructions Alarm Module: Diagram Information and Instructions Passenger Car Zoning PASSENGER CAR ZONING All grounds, in-line connectors, pass-through grommets, and splices have identifying numbers that correspond to where they are located in the vehicle.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-03-10-006E (Section 03 - Suspension). Important - Before measuring tires on equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700, the vehicle MUST be driven a minimum of 16 km (10 mi) to ensure removal of any flat-spotting. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E - Tire/Wheel Characteristics of GM Original Equipment Tires. - Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 MUST be calibrated prior to measuring tire/wheel assemblies for each vehicle. The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance to GM dealers when using tire force variation measurement equipment, such as the Hunter GSP9700. This type of equipment can be a valuable tool in diagnosing vehicle ride concerns. The most common ride concern involving tire radial force variation is highway speed shake on smooth roads. Tire related smooth road highway speed shake can be caused by three conditions: imbalance, out of round and tire force variation. These three conditions are not necessarily related. All three conditions must be addressed. Imbalance is normally addressed first, because it is the simpler of the three to correct. Off-vehicle, two plane dynamic wheel balancers are readily available and can accurately correct any imbalance. Balancer calibration and maintenance, proper attachment of the wheel to the balancer, and proper balance weights, are all factors required for a quality balance. However, a perfectly balanced tire/wheel assembly can still be "oval shaped" and cause a vibration. Before balancing, perform the following procedures. Tire and Wheel Diagnosis 1. Set the tire pressure to the placard values. 2. With the vehicle raised, ensure the wheels are centered on the hub by loosening all wheel nuts and hand-tightening all nuts first by hand while shaking the wheel, then torque to specifications using a torque wrench, NOT a torque stick. 3. Visually inspect the tires and the wheels. Inspect for evidence of the following conditions and correct as necessary: - Missing balance weights - Bent rim flange - Irregular tire wear - Incomplete bead seating - Tire irregularities (including pressure settings) - Mud/ice build-up in wheel - Stones in the tire tread - Remove any aftermarket wheels and/or tires and restore vehicle to original condition prior to diagnosing a smooth road shake condition. 4. Road test the vehicle using the Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA) essential tool. Drive for a sufficient distance on a known, smooth road surface to duplicate the condition. Determine if the vehicle is sensitive to brake apply. If the brakes are applied lightly and the pulsation felt in the steering wheel increases, refer to the Brakes section of the service manual that deals with brake-induced pulsation. If you can start to hear the vibration as a low boom noise (in addition to feeling it), but cannot see it, the vehicle likely has a first order (one pulse per propshaft revolution) driveline vibration. Driveline first order vibrations are high enough in frequency that most humans can start to hear them at highway speeds, but are too high to be able to be easily seen. These issues can be caused by driveline imbalance or misalignment. If the vehicle exhibits this low boom and the booming pulses in-and-out on a regular basis (like a throbbing), chances are good that the vehicle could have driveline vibration. This type Page 4180 Powertrain Control Module (PCM) C2 Part 3 Page 42 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 10427 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 826 Page 4747 This service data uses various symbols in order to describe different service operations. Page 3823 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 1663 7.

Remove the left/driver outer trim cover from the instrument panel (I/P). 7. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) from the steering wheel module coil connector. 8. Disconnect the steering wheel module coil connector from the vehicle harness connector. ENABLING PROCEDURE Page 7223 Page 1489 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 2257 3. Install the door trim panel. 4. Enable the roof rail SIR system.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage Engine Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 04-06-04-054B Date: November 18, 2010 Subject: Info - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket) Models: 2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update to the new U.S. Fixed Operation Manager (FOM) and Canada Warranty Manager (WM) names. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System). The recent rise and expansion of companies selling non-GM parts and accessories has made it necessary to issue this reminder to dealers regarding GM's policy on the use and installation of these aftermarket components. When a dealer is performing a repair under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, they are required to use only genuine GM or GM-approved parts and accessories. This applies to all warranty repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. Parts and accessories advertised as being "the same" as parts manufactured by GM, but not sold through GM, do not qualify for use in warranty repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. During a warranty repair, if a GM original equipment part is not available through GM Customer Care and Aftersales (GM CC&A;), ACDelco(R) distributors, other GM dealers or approved sources, the dealer is to obtain comparable, non-GM parts and clearly indicate, in detail, on the repair order the circumstances surrounding why non-GM parts were used. The dealer must give customers written notice, prior to the sale or service, that such parts or accessories are not marketed or warranted by General Motors. It should also be noted that dealers modifying new vehicles and installing equipment, parts and accessories obtained from sources not authorized by GM are responsible for complying with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Certain non-approved parts or assemblies, installed by the dealer or its agent not authorized by GM, may result in a change to the vehicle's design characteristics and may affect the vehicle's ability to conform to federal law. Dealers must fully understand that non-GM approved parts may not have been validated, tested or certified for use. This puts the dealer at risk for potential liability in the event of a part or vehicle failure. If a GM part failure occurs as the result of the installation or use of a non-GM approved part, the warranty will not be honored. A good example of non-authorized modification of vehicles is the result of an ever increasing supply of aftermarket devices available to the customer, which claim to increase the horsepower and torque of the Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines. These include the addition of, but are not limited to one or more of the following modifications: - Propane injection - Nitrous oxide injection - Additional modules (black boxes) that connect to the vehicle wiring systems - Revised engine calibrations downloaded for the engine control module - Calibration modules which connect to the vehicle diagnostic connector - Modification to the engine turbocharger waste gate Although the installation of these devices, or modification of vehicle components, can increase engine horsepower and torque, they may also negatively affect the engine emissions, reliability and/or durability. In addition, other powertrain components, such as transmissions, universal joints, drive shafts, and front/rear axle components, can be stressed beyond design safety limits by the installation of these devices. General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that, when installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. It is because of these unknown stresses, and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is subsequently removed. Refer to the latest version of Bulletin 09-06-04-026 (V8 Gas Engines) or 06-06-01-007 (Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines) for more information on dealer requirements for calibration verification. These same policies apply as they relate to the use of non-GM accessories. Damage or failure from the use or installation of a non-GM accessory will not be covered under warranty. Failure resulting from the alteration or modification of the vehicle, including the cutting, welding or disconnecting of the vehicle's original equipment parts and components will void the warranty. Additionally, dealers will NOT be reimbursed or compensated by GM in the event of any legal inquiry at either the local, state or federal level that Page 11441 Alarm Module: Service and Repair THEFT DETERRENT CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear, or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have a no power/no communication condition. 2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com. 3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle. Note: If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module. 4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original analog production or digital upgrade. 5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required for a new module replacement. Do not discard. 6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. Page 10812 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 6327 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 3247 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 the drive belt is causing the rumbling noise. Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the similarity in the description. Remove only one drive belt at a time if the vehicle has multiple drive belts. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed. 4. Inspecting the drive belt is to ensure that it is not causing a the noise. Small cracks across the ribs of the drive belt will not cause the noise. Belt separation is identified by the plys of the belt separating and may be seen at the edge of the belt our felt as a lump in the belt. 5. Small amounts of pilling is normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe the drive belt does not have a smooth surface for proper operation. Drive Belt Squeal Drive Belt Squeal Diagnosis Diagnostic Aids A loose or improper installation of a body component, a suspension component, or other items of the vehicle may cause the squeal noise. If the noise is intermittent, verify the accessory drive components by varying their loads making sure they are operated to their maximum capacity. An overcharged A/C system, power steering system with a pinched hose or wrong fluid, or a generator failing are suggested items to inspect. Page 4208 Page 11614 Page 584 Heated Seat Control Module - Driver,C3 (With RPO Code KA1) Description and Operation Shift Indicator: Description and Operation PRNDL DISPLAY The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the selected gear position as determined by the powertrain control module (PCM). The IPC receives a GMLAN message from the body control module (BCM) indicating the gear position. The PRNDL display blanks if: - The PCM detects a malfunction in the transmission range switch circuit. - The IPC detects a loss of GMLAN communications with the BCM. Page 6211 Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR The fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor measures the difference between the pressure or vacuum in the fuel tank and outside air pressure. The control module provides a 5-volt reference and a ground to the FTP sensor. The FTP sensor provides a signal voltage back to the control module that can vary between 0.1-4.9 volts. A high FTP sensor voltage indicates a low fuel tank pressure or vacuum. A low FTP sensor voltage indicates a high fuel tank pressure. Page 3985 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors.

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

Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 8536 6. Install a large C-clamp over the body of the brake caliper with the C-clamp ends against the rear of the caliper body and against the outer brake pad. 7.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating With Special Tool Fuel: Testing and Inspection With Special Tool ALCOHOL/CONTAMINANTS-IN-FUEL DIAGNOSIS (WITH SPECIAL TOOL) DESCRIPTION Water contamination in the fuel system may cause driveability conditions such as hesitation, stalling, no start, or misfires in one or more cylinders. Water may collect near a single fuel injector at the lowest point in the fuel injection system, and cause a misfire in that cylinder. If the fuel system is contaminated with water, inspect the fuel system components for rust or deterioration. Ethanol concentrations of greater than 10 percent can cause driveability conditions and fuel system deterioration. Fuel with more than 10 percent ethanol could result in driveability conditions such as hesitation, lack of power, stalling , or no start. Excessive concentrations of ethanol used in vehicles not designed for it may cause fuel system corrosion, deterioration of rubber components, and fuel filter restriction. TEST PROCEDURE 1. Test the fuel composition using J 44175 Fuel Composition Tester and J 44175-3 Instruction Manual. 2. If water appears in the fuel sample, clean the fuel system. Refer to Fuel System Cleaning. Fuel Composition Test Examples 3. Subtract 50 from the reading on the DMM in order to obtain the percentage of alcohol in the fuel sample. Refer to the examples in the Fuel Composition Test Examples table. 4. If the fuel sample contains more than 15 percent ethanol, add fresh, regular gasoline to the vehicle's fuel tank. 5. Test the fuel composition. 6. If testing shows the ethanol percentage is still more than 15 percent, replace the fuel in the vehicle. Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage Engine Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 04-06-04-054B Date: November 18, 2010 Subject: Info - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket) Models: 2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update to the new U.S. Fixed Operation Manager (FOM) and Canada Warranty Manager (WM) names. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System). The recent rise and expansion of companies selling non-GM parts and accessories has made it necessary to issue this reminder to dealers regarding GM's policy on the use and installation of these aftermarket components. When a dealer is performing a repair under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, they are required to use only genuine GM or GM-approved parts and accessories. This applies to all warranty repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. Parts and accessories advertised as being "the same" as parts manufactured by GM, but not sold through GM, do not qualify for use in warranty repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. During a warranty repair, if a GM original equipment part is not available through GM Customer Care and Aftersales (GM CC&A;), ACDelco(R) distributors, other GM dealers or approved sources, the dealer is to obtain comparable, non-GM parts and clearly indicate, in detail, on the repair order the circumstances surrounding why non-GM parts were used. The dealer must give customers written notice, prior to the sale or service, that such parts or accessories are not marketed or warranted by General Motors. It should also be noted that dealers modifying new vehicles and installing equipment, parts and accessories obtained from sources not authorized by GM are responsible for complying with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Certain non-approved parts or assemblies, installed by the dealer or its agent not authorized by GM, may result in a change to the vehicle's design characteristics and may affect the vehicle's ability to conform to federal law. Dealers must fully understand that non-GM approved parts may not have been validated, tested or certified for use. This puts the dealer at risk for potential liability in the event of a part or vehicle failure. If a GM part failure occurs as the result of the installation or use of a non-GM approved part, the warranty will not be honored. A good example of non-authorized modification of vehicles is the result of an ever increasing supply of aftermarket devices available to the customer, which claim to increase the horsepower and torque of the Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines. These include the addition of, but are not limited to one or more of the following modifications: - Propane injection - Nitrous oxide injection - Additional modules (black boxes) that connect to the vehicle wiring systems - Revised engine calibrations downloaded for the engine control module - Calibration modules which connect to the vehicle diagnostic connector - Modification to the engine turbocharger waste gate Although the installation of these devices, or modification of vehicle components, can increase engine horsepower and torque, they may also negatively affect the engine emissions, reliability and/or durability. In addition, other powertrain components, such as transmissions, universal joints, drive shafts, and front/rear axle components, can be stressed beyond design safety limits by the installation of these devices. General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that, when installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. It is because of these unknown stresses, and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is subsequently removed. Refer to the latest version of Bulletin 09-06-04-026 (V8 Gas Engines) or 06-06-01-007 (Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines) for more information on dealer requirements for calibration verification. These same policies apply as they relate to the use of non-GM accessories. Damage or failure from the use or installation of a non-GM accessory will not be covered under warranty. Failure resulting from the alteration or modification of the vehicle, including the cutting, welding or disconnecting of the vehicle's original equipment parts and components will void the warranty. Additionally, dealers will NOT be reimbursed or compensated by GM in the event of any legal inquiry at either the local, state or federal level that Page 1877 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR The accelerator pedal contains 2 individual accelerator pedal position (APP) sensors within the assembly. The APP sensors 1 and 2 are potentiometer type sensors each with 3 circuits: - A 5-volt reference circuit - A low reference circuit - A signal circuit The APP sensors are used to determine the pedal angle. The powertrain control module (PCM) provides each APP sensor a 5-volt reference circuit and a low reference circuit. The APP sensors provide the PCM with signal voltage proportional to the pedal movement. The APP sensor 1 signal voltage at rest position is near the low reference and increases as the pedal is actuated. The APP sensor 2 signal voltage at rest position is near the 5-volt reference and decreases as the pedal is actuated. HVAC Systems - Manual Control Assembly: Diagrams HVAC Systems - Manual HVAC Control Module C1 Page 5588 Page 8128 Page 13315 Page 12997 Page 6834 Fuel Injector 2 Page 1890 Page 11007 11.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 9452 Fuse Block - Rear C1 Part 3 Page 1938 Page 8858 7. Tape the positive cable and the ground strap to the negative cable. 8.

Installation Procedure Page 12743 Disclaimer Page 7106 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 2420 Disclaimer Page 4656 11.

The table explains the numbering system. Electrical Symbols Page 10433 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 4958 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 9555 5.

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2.

The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D.

Pressing the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) tool in the release cavity of the terminal you are removing, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used. TERMINAL REPAIR PROCEDURE Use the appropriate terminal and crimper in the J-38125 in order to replace the terminal. Weather Pack Connectors WEATHER PACK CONNECTORS The following is the proper procedure for the repair of Weather Pack(R) Connectors. 1. Separate the connector halves (1). 2. Open the secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the connector (1). 3. Grasp the wire and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the wire in this position. 4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder (1). 5. Gently pull on the wire to remove the terminal through the back of the connector (2). IMPORTANT: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector. 6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary. 7. Reform the lock tang (2) and reset terminal in connector body. 8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves. 9. Verify that circuit is complete and working satisfactorily. 10. Perform system check. Page 3415 Important: If the balance shafts are not properly timed to the engine, the engine may vibrate and make noise. 1. Install the upper balance shaft chain guide. Tighten Tighten the upper balance shaft chain guide bolts to 15 Nm (133 lb in). 2. Install the balance shaft drive chain with the colored links lined up on with the marks on the balance shaft drive sprockets and the crankshaft sprocket. Use the following procedure to line up the links with the sprockets: Orient the chain so that the copper colored and chrome links are visible. 3. Place the copper colored link (1) so that it lines up with the timing mark on the intake side balance shaft sprocket. 4.

Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 7103 Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 5244 Body Control Module (BCM) C3 Part 1 Page 4814 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 1071 Steps 8 - 14 Page 9691 Use the following procedure to check the D dimension: 1. With the vehicle on a flat level surface, lift upward on the rear bumper 38 mm (1.59 in). 2. Gently remove your hands and allow the vehicle to settle. 3. Repeat the jouncing operation 2 more times. 4. Measure the vertical distance from the bottom surface of the floor pan to the top surface of the control arm flange. 5. Repeat this task for the other side of the vehicle. 6. Using your hands, jounce the front of the vehicle downward approximately 38 mm (1.59 in). 7. Gently remove your hands and allow the vehicle to settle 8. Repeat the jouncing operation 2 more times. 9. Measure the D height dimension. 10. The true D height dimension number is the average of the high and the low measurements. 11. If these measurements are out of specifications, inspect for the following conditions: ^ Worn or damaged suspension components ^ Collision damage Body Controls - BCM Cross Platform Functionality Body Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Body Controls - BCM Cross Platform Functionality INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 09-08-47-002 Date: November 17, 2009 Subject: Information on Body Control Module (BCM) Functionality Across Vehicle Lines Models: 2004-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt 2006-2010 Chevrolet HHR 2005-2009 Pontiac G6 2006-2009 Pontiac Solstice 2007-2009 Saturn AURA, SKY The purpose of this bulletin is to address the unique differences in Body Control Module (BCM) functionality of the affected vehicles. Many electrical functions on these vehicles do not directly involve the BCM, even though they may on other vehicles. The cooling fans, for example, are controlled by the engine control module (ECM) on the Malibu, but are controlled by the BCM on the Impala. The BCM is primarily a gateway between the high- and low-speed GMLAN serial data buses on the above listed vehicles. Functions That Do Not Involve the BCM The following list of features and functions are not controlled or dependent on the BCM: Important The BCM should NOT be replaced for conditions in these areas. - Cooling fans - Clock display - Radio display - Power mirrors - OnStar(R) - Rear wiper (on Malibu Maxx) - Warning lamps - Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) - Driver seat belt reminder light and chime - Power windows Important The BCM also acts as a power distribution center and may provide a fused battery feed to the modules that actually do control the above functions. Do not assume a similar control module issue will apply to different vehicle lines. Refer to SI for the appropriate description and operation and diagnostic information. Disclaimer Page 5074 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Micro .64 Connectors MICRO.64 CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro 64 connectors. 1. Locate the lever lock on the wire dress cover. While depressing the lock, pull the lever over and past the lock. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component. 3. Locate the dress cover locking tabs at the front of the connector. Using a small flat-blade tool push down on one of the locking tabs and pull the cover up until the dress cover releases. Repeat this procedure for the other locking tab. 4. Once the front 2 locks are unlocked, lift the front of the dress cover and pull it forward. Page 7739 7. Wipe off any excessive grease on the intermediate shaft to avoid damage from drips on the carpet. 8. Install the instrument panel insulator panel - left side. 9. Verify that the noise is no longer present. Condition 2 There may be interference between the clamp and the steering gear input shaft. The clamp is beveled and if forced down on the input shaft too hard, it may cause a loose fit with the intermediate shaft to input shaft joint. Correction 2 To correct this condition, perform the following steps: 1. Remove the intermediate shaft pinch bolt at the steering gear end. 2. Install a new bolt, GM P/N 07845238, but do not tighten the bolt at this time. 3. Pry the clamp up using a pry bar to position the bolt into the upper part of the groove as shown above. This will position the clamp off the bevel. 4. While keeping the clamp in the upper position, tighten the bolt. Tighten Tighten the bolt to 49 Nm (36 lb ft). 5. Verify that the clunk noise is no longer present. Condition 3 Important This condition ONLY applies to 2004-2007 Chevrolet Malibu/Maxx and 2005-2007 Pontiac G6. Some customers may comment on a knocking or rattling type noise from the front of the vehicle when driven at low speeds and over bumps. The noise only occurs when the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position and sounds like the noise is in the left suspension of the vehicle or directly in front of the driver. Correction 3 1. Ensure the noise is not caused by Condition # 1. 2. Determine the source of the noise. Install the chassis ears at the following locations: - sway bar link - one side at a time - upper strut mount - one side at a time - steering gear near the pinion area - base of the steering column housing - radiator surge tank 3. If the noise is coming from the upper strut mount or sway bar link, replace as necessary and retest. 4. For 2004-2006 Chevrolet and Pontiac model year vehicles, the noise may be coming from the radiator surge tank area. (The 2007 model year vehicles use a different style radiator surge tank - refer to Step 9.) 5. If the noise is coming from the radiator surge tank, release the two retaining tabs holding the radiator surge tank and reposition the tank away from the attaching bracket and isolate with closed cell foam. 6. Cut three pieces of closed cell foam, P/N P46515 (or equivalent), into 25 mm (1 in) by 102 mm (4 in) pieces. 7. Cut two pieces of closed cell foam into 25 mm (1 in) by 6 mm (1/4 in) pieces. Page 9458 Fuse Block - Rear C4 Part 2 Fuse Block - Underhood C1 Page 10723 the ignition switch in the ON position, the AIR BAG warning indicator illuminates.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.

Under NO circumstances should this procedure be modified, changed or shortened. As a long term solution, and to prevent reoccurrence, customers should be encouraged to use Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. For further information on Top Tier detergent gasoline and fuel retailers, please refer to the following Corporate Bulletin Numbers: - 04-06-04-047G (U.S. Only) - 05-06-04-022D (Canada ONLY) Notice GM UPPER ENGINE AND FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER is the only injector cleaning agent approved for use with General Motors fuel system components. Other injector cleaners may cause damage to plastics, plated metals or bearings. General Motors has completed extensive laboratory testing of GM Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner, and can assure its compatibility with General Motors fuel system components, as long as the cleaning procedure is followed correctly. Injector Cleaning Procedure The following tools, or their equivalent, are required: - CH-47976 Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT) - J 35800-A Fuel Injector Cleaner - J 37287 Fuel Line Shut-off Adapter - J 42964 Fuel Line Shut-off Adapter - J 42873 Fuel Line Shut-off Adapter - * One bottle of GM Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner, P/N 88861802 (in Canada, P/N 88861804) - * One bottle of GM Fuel System Treatment Plus, P/N 88861011 (in Canada, P/N 88861012) Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT- CH-47976) Some dealers may not have an Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT- CH-47976). Dealers can contact to order an AFIT- CH-47976. Dealers still can test the fuel injectors without an AFIT. Refer to Fuel Injector Diagnosis (w/ J 39021 or Tech 2(R)) in SI. Important As mentioned in the AFIT User Guide, vehicles that are not listed in the AFIT menu can still be tested with the AFIT. Depending on the model, it may be possible to enter the previous model year and proceed with testing using the DLC connection. If this is not possible on the model that you are working on, it will be necessary to use the direct connection method outlined in the AFIT User Guide (See Pages 17-31). General Motors recommends that the Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT) be used in testing fuel injectors. If the SI diagnostics do not isolate a cause for this concern, use the Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT - CH-47976) to perform an "Injector Test" as outlined in the AFIT User Guide. The AFIT "Injector Test" measures the flow characteristics of all fuel injectors, which is more precise when compared with the standard Tech 2(R) fuel injector balance test. As a result, the AFIT is more likely to isolate the cause of a P1174 DTC (for example: if it is being caused by a fuel injector concern). The CH-47976 (Active Fuel Injector Tester - AFIT) can also be used to measure fuel pressure and fuel system leak down. Also, as mentioned in the P1174 SI diagnosis, if the misfire current counters or misfire graph indicate any misfires, it may be an indicator of the cylinder that is causing the concern. Refer to Fuel Injector Diagnosis (w/CH-47976) in SI for additional instructions. Training (U.S.) To access the training video on AFIT, take the following path at the GM Training Website: 1. After logging into the training website, choose the link on the left side of the page titled "web video library." 2. Then choose "technical." 3. Next, within the search box, type in September course number "10206.09D. 4. This will bring up a link with this course. Scroll through to choose "feature topic." 5. At this point, the seminar can be chosen to view or the video related to the AFIT. Additional training is available from the training website.

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. Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet When diagnosing vibration concerns, use the following worksheet in conjunction with the appropriate Vibration Analysis-Road testing procedure in the Vibration Correction sub-section in SI. Page 8062 Page 4812 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Steering/Suspension - Vehicle Pull/Lead Diagnosis Alignment: Customer Interest Steering/Suspension - Vehicle Pull/Lead Diagnosis Bulletin No.: 04-03-06-001 Date: September 10, 2004 INFORMATION Subject: Vehicle Leads/Pulls Characteristics and Diagnosis Models: 2004-2005 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu MAXX 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. Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors: ^ Tire construction Variability in the tire construction may produce lead/pull. The rear tires will not cause lead/pull. ^ Wheel alignment ^ Brake Drag ^ Unbalanced steering gear Visual/Physical Inspection ^ Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of any of the suspension sub-systems. ^ Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom. ^ Inspect for proper tire size and inflation pressure. ^ Inspect for abnormal tire wear. Vehicle Leads/Pulls Alignment Diagnosis and Repair Front cross-caster and front cross-camber are the only wheel alignment parameters that influence lead or pull. If the vehicle leads/pulls to the left after performing the steps listed in SI Document ID, and the front wheel alignment parameters are found to be in specification, adjust the front left and/or right camber to achieve a cross-camber of -0.50° to -0.75°. Refer to Front Camber Adjustment, SI Document. The cross-camber is the difference between the left side camber and the right side camber (cross-camber = LH camber-RH camber). Positive cross-camber may cause the vehicle to pull to the left. For example: If the vehicle pulls to the left, adjust the cross-camber more negative and vice-versa. Steering Position and Torque Sensor Calibration Important: ONLY perform the steering position sensor and torque sensor recalibration procedure after the tires, suspension and alignment specifications have been inspected and/or corrected and the vehicle still exhibits a lead or pull condition. Failure to do so may result in additional customer lead and or pull concerns. After inspecting the suspension, tires and alignment, and if the vehicle still leads or/pulls, it may be necessary to recalibrate the steering position sensor and torque sensor. Refer to Control Module Setup, SI Document ID. Page 1301 Seat Heater Switch: Removal and Replacement Heated Seat Switch Replacement Removal Procedure Caution: Refer to Restraint System Service Precautions. 1.

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 Page 7655 Steering/Suspension - Wheel Alignment Specifications Alignment: All 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. Page 11557 For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.

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

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.

Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 4742 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5.

Return rates ran as high as 60% with the TPM sensors still attached. Operational TPM sensors should not be returned to GM and are to be transferred to replacement wheels if they become necessary. Important: Operational TPM Sensors that are returned under warranty to General Motors will be charged back to the dealer.Sensors have a 10 year /150,000 mile (240,000 km) battery life, and should be transferred if one or more wheels are replaced. TPM Valve Stem / Grommet (0-ring) Replacement When the TPM sensors are transferred to new wheels you should replace the component used to seal the TPM sensor stem to the wheel. On sensors with an aluminum stem and visible nut on the outside of the wheel a replacement grommet (0-ring) should be used to assure a proper seal. The sensor retaining nut (except Aveo) should be tightened to 7 N.m (62 lb in) for all vehicles except Pontiac Vibe (4.0 N.m (35.4 lb in)). Important: ^ DO NOT overtorque the retaining nut. Notice: ^ Factory installed TPM Sensors come with plastic aluminum or nickel-plated brass stem caps. These caps should not be changed. Chrome plated steel caps may cause corrosion of aluminum valve stems due to incompatibility of the metals. On current style sensors the entire rubber stem is replaceable. The service interval on the revised TPM sensor with replaceable stem is the same as for any other traditional valve stem. Replace the stem at the time of tire replacement sensor transfer or whenever air seepage is suspected at the valve stem. When replacing the valve stem tighten the screw to 1.3 N.m (11.5 lb in). For either style of TPM sensor see the service parts guide for the correct GM part numbers to order and use. Disclaimer Page 4947 4.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 1171 products. Scott Lawson Director, Customer and Relationship Services Enclosure 10183 Page 5291 Crankshaft Position Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual.

If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 8015 8.

Program Overview Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008. Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007 issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website. Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect. Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC). Page 3855 Page 3649 Page 5590 Page 3523 - Inspect for evidence of improper arcing. Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3) terminals. An excessively wide electrode gap can prevent correct spark plug operation. - Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Insufficient torque can prevent correct spark plug operation. An over torqued spark plug, causes the insulator (2) to crack. - Inspect for signs of tracking that occurred near the insulator tip instead of the center electrode (4). - Inspect for a broken or worn side electrode (3). - Inspect for a broken, worn, or loose center electrode (4) by shaking the spark plug. A rattling sound indicates internal damage. - A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark intensity. - Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the gap. - Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4) If equipped. - Inspect for excessive fouling. - Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during installation. SPARK PLUG VISUAL INSPECTION - Normal operation-Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are normal combustion by-products from fuels with additives. - Carbon Fouled-Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions: Rich fuel mixtures Leaking fuel injectors - Excessive fuel pressure - Restricted air filter element - Incorrect combustion - Reduced ignition system voltage output Weak 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. Page 14057 center.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Engine, A/T Controls - Shared Diagnostic Trouble Codes Engine Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Engine, A/T Controls - Shared Diagnostic Trouble Codes Bulletin No.: 05-06-04-060 Date: September 23, 2005 INFORMATION Subject: Powertrain Control Module (PCM), Engine Control Module (ECM), Transmission Control Module (TCM) Diagnostic Trouble Code(s) (DTC)(s) P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P1621 Shared In Multiple Modules Models: 2005-2006 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2005-2006 HUMMER H2 2006 HUMMER H3 2005-2006 Saab 9-7X Beginning in 2005, some control modules (ECM's, TCM's) have specific codes that describe internal failures of the module. These DTCs are not module specific and can be found on any controller that has these codes.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 6349 Page 7997 Seals and Gaskets: By Symptom Technical Service Bulletin # 01-07-30-032E Date: 080929 A/T - 4T65E Fluid Leaking From A/T Vent TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 01-07-30-032E Date: September 29, 2008 Subject: Transmission Oil Leaking From Transmission Vent (Replace Transmission Case Cover (Channel Plate) Gasket) Models: 1997-2009 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) with Hydra-Matic 4T65-E Automatic Transmission (RPOs MN3, MN7, M15, M76) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008 and 2009 model years.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 5068 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 8611 5. Position the J 21177-A to widest point of the brake drum inside diameter. 6. Firmly hand tighten the set screw on the J 21177-A. 7. Remove the J 21177-A from the brake drum and position it over the corresponding brake shoe assembly at its widest point. 8. While holding the J 21177-A in position, insert a 0.635 mm (0.025 inch) feeler gage between one side of the J 21177-A, and the corresponding brake shoe. 9. Rotate the brake shoe adjuster screw until the brake shoes contact the J 21177-A, and the feeler gage. Brake shoe-to-drum clearance: 0.635 mm (0.025 inch) 10. Repeat the above steps for the opposite brake drum and brake shoe assembly. Page 590 4. Remove the heated seat control module. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 1. Install the heated seat control module. Page 1857 Page 7464 Page 10794 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-01-008 (Section 06 - Engine). Background Several aftermarket companies offer laser alignment tools for accessory drive systems that can be very helpful in eliminating drive belt noise as a result of misaligned pulleys. Typically pricing ranges from $160 - $200. EN-49228 Laser Alignment Tool - Drive Belt The GM Tool program has now made available a competitive, simple to use and time-saving laser tool to assist in achieving precise alignment of the drive belt pulleys. This optional tool removes the guesswork from proper pulley alignment and may serve to reduce comebacks from: - Drive Belt Noise - Accelerated Drive Belt Wear - Drive Belt Slippage Instructions The instructions below are specific only to the truck Gen IV V-8 family of engines. These instructions are only for illustrative purposes to show how the tool may be used. Universal instructions are included in the box with the Laser Alignment Tool - Drive Belt. Caution - Do not look directly into the beam projected from the laser. - Use caution when shining the laser on highly polished or reflective surfaces. Laser safety glasses help reduce laser beam glare in many circumstances. - Always use laser safety glasses when using the laser. Laser safety glasses are not designed to protect eyes from direct laser exposure. 1. Observe and mark the serpentine belt orientation. Page 6689 Page 7532 Page 2427 Figure 1: Full Tread View - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear on the Shoulder/Adjacent/Center Ribs Figure 2: Tire Shoulder View Example 1 - "NORMAL" Tire "Feathering" Wear on the Shoulder 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.

A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored any time the control module illuminates the MIL due to an emissions related fault. The MIL turns OFF after three consecutive ignition cycles in which a Test Passed has been reported for the diagnostic test that originally caused the MIL to illuminate. - The MIL flashes if the control module detects a misfire condition which could damage the catalytic converter. - When the MIL is illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will remain illuminated as long as the ignition is ON. - When the MIL is not illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition is cycled OFF and then ON. TRIP A trip is an interval of time during which the diagnostic test runs. A trip may consist of only a key cycle to power up the powertrain control module (PCM), allow the diagnostic to run, then cycle the key off to power down the PCM. A trip may also involve a PCM power up, meeting specific conditions to run the diagnostic test, then powering down the PCM. The definition of a trip depends upon the diagnostic. Some diagnostic tests run only once per trip (i.e., catalyst monitor) while other tests run continuously during each trip (i.e., misfire). WARM-UP CYCLE The powertrain control module (PCM) uses warm-up cycles to run some diagnostics and to clear any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). A warm-up cycle occurs when the engine coolant temperature increases 22°C (40°F) from the start-up temperature. The engine coolant must also achieve a minimum temperature of 71°C (160°F). The PCM counts the number of warm-up cycles in order to clear the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). The PCM will clear the DTCs when 40 consecutive warm-up cycles occur without a malfunction. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) The powertrain control module (PCM) is programmed with test routines that test the operation of the various systems the PCM controls. Some tests monitor internal PCM functions. Many tests are run continuously. Other tests run only under specific conditions, referred to as Conditions for Running the DTC. When the vehicle is operating within the conditions for running a particular test, the PCM monitors certain parameters and determines if the values are within an expected range. The parameters and values considered outside the range of normal operation are listed as Conditions for Setting the DTC. When the Conditions for Setting the DTC occur, the PCM executes the Action Taken When the DTC Sets. Some DTCs alert the driver via the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) or a message. Other DTCs do not trigger a driver warning, but are stored in memory. The PCM also saves data and input parameters when most DTCs are set. This data is stored in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records. The DTCs are categorized by type. The DTC type is determined by the MIL operation and the manner in which the fault data is stored when a particular DTC fails. In some cases there may be exceptions to this structure. Therefore, when diagnosing the system it is important to read the Action Taken When the DTC Sets and the Conditions for Clearing the DTC in the supporting text. There are different types of DTCs and different actions taken when the DTCs set. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions for a description of the general characteristics of each DTC type. DTC STATUS When the scan tool displays a DTC, the status of the DTC is also displayed. The following DTC statuses are indicated only when they apply to the DTC that is set. Fail This Ign. (Fail This Ignition): Indicates that this DTC failed during the present ignition cycle. Last Test Fail: Indicates that this DTC failed the last time the test ran. MIL Request: Indicates that this DTC is currently requesting the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). This selection will report type B DTCs only when they have requested the MIL (failed twice). Test Fail SCC (Test Failed Since Code Clear): Indicates that this DTC that has reported a failure since the last time DTCs were cleared. History: Indicates that the DTC is stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) History memory. Type B DTCs will not appear in History until they have requested the MIL (failed twice). History will be displayed for all type A DTCs and type B DTCs (which have requested the MIL) that have failed within the last 40 warm-up cycles. Type C DTCs that have failed within the last 40 warm-up cycles will also appear in History. Not Run SCC (Not Run Since Code Clear): DTCs will be listed in this category if the diagnostic has not run since DTCs were last cleared. This status is not included with the DTC display since the DTC can not be set if the diagnostic has not run. This information is displayed when DTC Info is requested using the scan tool. Page 13449 1.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 4313 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4.

To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 1754 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 5920 Page 10881 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Instruments - GPS System Performance Degradation Antenna, Navigation: Customer Interest Instruments - GPS System Performance Degradation Info - Global Position Sensor (GPS) Performance Degradation # 00-08-46-003B - (Feb 9, 2005) Models: 1996-2005 Passenger Cars and Trucks 2002-2005 Saturn Vehicles with Navigation Systems and/or OnStar(R) This bulletin is being revised to include additional information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-08-46-003A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). Navigation and OnStar(R) systems require a GPS antenna in order to function properly. This antenna may be located inside the vehicle. If the GPS antenna is located inside the vehicle, performance of the system may be compromised by window tinting film. If the GPS system performance is in question and the vehicle has window tinting, a quick diagnostic check can be made by temporarily moving the GPS antenna to an external vehicle surface, such as the decklid or roof. If the GPS function of the navigation or On Star(R) system operates normally with the antenna relocated the repair would not be considered a warranty repair. The subsequent repair procedure or GPS placement would be up to the customer. Some vehicles have the GPS antenna located on the rear window shelf Objects placed on the rear window shelf such as tissue boxes, books, dolls, etc,, also have the potential to interfere with GPS performance. Warranty Information Repairs made to the vehicle navigation and/or OnStar(R) system, which are the result of window tinting, are not considered warranty repairs. Disclaimer Page 2621 10.

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 848 serial data. If the engine run flag serial data is True, indicating that the engine is running, the modules fail-safe to RUN. In this state, the modules and their subsystems can support all operator requirements. If the engine run flag serial data is False, indicating that the engine is not running, the modules fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state, the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle. Discrete Ignition Signals Those modules that have discrete ignition signal inputs, also remain in the state dictated by the last valid PMM message received on the serial data circuits. They then check the state of their discrete ignition input to determine the current valid state. If the discrete ignition input is active, battery positive voltage, the modules will fail-safe to the RUN power mode. If the discrete ignition input is not active, open or 0 volts, the modules will fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state, the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle. BCM Wake-Up/Sleep States The body control module (BCM) is able to control or perform all of the BCM functions in the wake-up state. The BCM enters the sleep state when active control or monitoring of system functions has stopped, and the BCM has become idle again. The BCM must detect certain wake-up inputs before entering the wake-up state. The BCM monitors for these inputs during the sleep state, where the BCM is able to detect switch transitions that cause the BCM to wake-up when activated or deactivated. Multiple switch inputs are needed in order to sense both the insertion of the ignition key and the power mode requested. The BCM will enter a wake-up state, if any of the following wake-up inputs are detected: Activity on the serial data line - Detection of a battery disconnect and reconnect condition - Headlamps are ON. - Ignition is turned ON. - Key-in-ignition switch - Park lamps are ON. - RFA message The BCM will enter a sleep state when all of the following conditions exist: The ignition switch is OFF. - No activity exists on the serial data line. - No outputs are commanded. - No delay timers are actively counting. - No wake-up inputs are present. If all these conditions are met, the BCM will enter a low power or sleep condition. This condition indicates that the BCM, which is the power mode master (PMM) of the vehicle, has sent an OFF or OFF-ASLEEP message to the other systems on the serial data line. Page 7927 Fluid Line/Hose: Service and Repair Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Pipes Replacement Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Pipes Replacement (L61) Removal Procedure 1.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 1595 PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening. ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 3155 Important: Ensure that the EN 45680-862 set gage ring surfaces are clean. 6. Carefully position EN 45680-861 trim tool assembly onto the EN 45680-862 set gage ring. 7. Loosen the shaft collar screw (2). 8. Push the shaft collar (2) downward using the trim tool preloader (1) until the shaft collar is positioned against the top of the flange bearing (3). Important: Once this procedure is done, it is not necessary to reset the EN 45680-861 trim tool assembly height until the blades are worn or damaged 9. Apply downward pressure on the collar and inner drive shaft using the trim tool preloader (1), then tighten the shaft collar screw. Tighten the shaft collar screw to 19 N.m (14 lb-ft). 10. Place the EN 45680-861 trim tool assembly onto the cylinder to be trimmed with the directional arrow pointing in line with the crankshaft centerline and the front of the block. 11. Install the EN 45680-864 4 bolts into the cylinder head bolt holes in the block. Tighten the bolts to 20 N.m (15 lb-ft). Page 7884 If clutch debris is found, it is also very important to inspect the Pressure Control (PC) solenoid valve (377) fluid screens.

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

These kits are available commercially. Repair Procedure Page 5448 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 7056 PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening. ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 1616 2.

Engines other than the ones listed in this bulletin that diagnosis indicates having restricted injectors should have those injectors replaced. Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model year to 2009 and to provide applicable engine RPO table. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 03-06-04-030F (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System). Condition Some customers may comment on any of the following various driveability symptoms: - Extended Crank Time - Hard to Start - MIL/SES Illuminated with DTCs - Hesitation - Lack of Power - Surge or Chuggle - Rough Idle - Light or Intermittent Misfire Cause Due to various factors, the fuel injectors may become restricted. Extensive testing has demonstrated that fuel related issues are the cause of clogged injectors. At this point, no specific fuel, fuel constituent, or engine condition has been identified as causing the restriction. The restriction causes the engine to operate at a lean air fuel ratio. This may either trigger the MIL to illuminate or the engine to develop various driveability symptoms.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 1521 English Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development ENGLISH PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Thread Inserts THREAD INSERTS General purpose thread repair kits.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Important: ^ 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, growls 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. 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. Important: 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 J 42450-A, thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface of the hub/axle flange. 2. Using the J41013, 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. 11. If at any time the brake rotor exceeds the minimum allowable thickness after refinish specification, the brake rotor must be replaced. 12. After refinishing the brake rotor, use the following procedure in order to obtain the desired non-directional finish: 12.1. Follow the brake lathe manufacturer's recommended speed setting for applying a non-directional finish 12.2. 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 12.3. 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 lateral runout (LRO) of the brake rotor to ensure optimum performance of the disc brakes. . 15. If the brake rotor assembled LRO measurement exceeds the specification, bring the LRO to within specifications. Page 4419 Metric Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development METRIC PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Page 12010 5.2 Cut off the cable tie (B), detach the connector's rear end face (C) and pull out the connecting rail (D). 5.3.

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

Note During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike caused by the following: ^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system. ^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload. OnStar(R) System States of Readiness The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF. ^ High power ^ Low power ^ Sleep ^ Digital standby The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or when the system is performing a remote function. The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or RUN position, or with RAP enabled. The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions. If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby) based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again received. If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the following: ^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate ^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason. ^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded. Page 9464 Fuse Block - Underhood C4 Page 6922 Page 10299 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 Page 11923 Page 305 1.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 1269 1. Install the adjustable pedal switch. 2. Install the adjustable pedal switch wire harness connector. 3.

Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 10797 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 6146 4. Gently pull the cable and the terminal (2) out of the back of the connector. 5.

Refer to Data Communication Schematics and Data Link Communications Description and Operation in SI. Part 2 Conditions for Running the DTC Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 - 16 volts. DTCs B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301, U1305 are not set as current. The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. Conditions for Setting the DTC A message containing a critical operating parameter has not been received within the last 5 seconds after establishing class 2 serial data communication. Action Taken When the DTC Sets The module uses a default value for the missing parameter. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. Diagnostic Aids When a malfunction such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is set current. When the modules stop communicating the current DTC U1001-1254 Loss of XXX Communications is cleared but the history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or U1255 is set. Page 4819 Conversion - English/Metric Part 2 Diagnostic Work Sheets DIAGNOSTIC WORK SHEETS The GM Diagnostic Worksheet has been designed to improve communications between the service customer and the technician.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 9163 Page 6194 Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Page 4790 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 8706 Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Service and Repair Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) Replacement Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) Replacement Caution: Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant Caution in Service Precautions.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire.

REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 535 Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) C2 Page 855 Steps 1-12 Power Mode Mismatch POWER MODE MISMATCH CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION Normal vehicle serial data communications and the control modules operations will not begin until the system power mode has been identified.

Certain aftermarket devices, when connected to the Diagnostic Link Connector, such as, but not limited to, Scan Tools, Trip Computers, Fuel Economy Analyzers and Insurance Tracking Devices, interfere with OnStar's ability to perform a diagnostic probe when requested (via a blue button call) by a subscriber. These devices also prohibit the ability to gather diagnostic and tire pressure data for a subscriber's scheduled OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail. These aftermarket devices utilize the Vehicles serial data bus to perform data requests and/or information gathering. When these devices are requesting data, OnStar(R) is designed not to interfere with any data request being made by these devices as required by OBD II regulations. The OnStar(R) advisor is unable to definitively detect the presence of these devices and will only be able to inform the caller or requester of the unsuccessful or incomplete probe and may in some cases refer the subscriber/requester to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis of the concern. When performing a diagnostic check for an unsuccessful or incomplete OnStar(R) diagnostic probe, or for concerns regarding completeness of the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic (OVD) e-mail, verify that an aftermarket device was not present at the time of the requested probe. Regarding the OVD e-mail, if an aftermarket device is interfering (including a Scan Tool of any type), the e-mail will consistently display a "yellow" indication in diagnostics section for all vehicle systems except the OnStar(R) System and Tire Pressure data (not available on all vehicles) will not be displayed (i.e. section is collapsed). Successful diagnostic probes and complete OVD e-mails will resume following the removal or disconnecting of the off-board device. Disclaimer Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage Engine Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Engine Controls - Aftermarket Accessory Usage INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 04-06-04-054B Date: November 18, 2010 Subject: Info - Non-GM Parts and Accessories (Aftermarket) Models: 2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years and update to the new U.S. Fixed Operation Manager (FOM) and Canada Warranty Manager (WM) names. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-06-04-054A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System). The recent rise and expansion of companies selling non-GM parts and accessories has made it necessary to issue this reminder to dealers regarding GM's policy on the use and installation of these aftermarket components. When a dealer is performing a repair under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, they are required to use only genuine GM or GM-approved parts and accessories. This applies to all warranty repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. Parts and accessories advertised as being "the same" as parts manufactured by GM, but not sold through GM, do not qualify for use in warranty repairs, special policy repairs or any repairs paid for by GM. During a warranty repair, if a GM original equipment part is not available through GM Customer Care and Aftersales (GM CC&A;), ACDelco(R) distributors, other GM dealers or approved sources, the dealer is to obtain comparable, non-GM parts and clearly indicate, in detail, on the repair order the circumstances surrounding why non-GM parts were used. The dealer must give customers written notice, prior to the sale or service, that such parts or accessories are not marketed or warranted by General Motors. It should also be noted that dealers modifying new vehicles and installing equipment, parts and accessories obtained from sources not authorized by GM are responsible for complying with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Certain non-approved parts or assemblies, installed by the dealer or its agent not authorized by GM, may result in a change to the vehicle's design characteristics and may affect the vehicle's ability to conform to federal law. Dealers must fully understand that non-GM approved parts may not have been validated, tested or certified for use. This puts the dealer at risk for potential liability in the event of a part or vehicle failure. If a GM part failure occurs as the result of the installation or use of a non-GM approved part, the warranty will not be honored. A good example of non-authorized modification of vehicles is the result of an ever increasing supply of aftermarket devices available to the customer, which claim to increase the horsepower and torque of the Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines. These include the addition of, but are not limited to one or more of the following modifications: - Propane injection - Nitrous oxide injection - Additional modules (black boxes) that connect to the vehicle wiring systems - Revised engine calibrations downloaded for the engine control module - Calibration modules which connect to the vehicle diagnostic connector - Modification to the engine turbocharger waste gate Although the installation of these devices, or modification of vehicle components, can increase engine horsepower and torque, they may also negatively affect the engine emissions, reliability and/or durability. In addition, other powertrain components, such as transmissions, universal joints, drive shafts, and front/rear axle components, can be stressed beyond design safety limits by the installation of these devices. General Motors does not support or endorse the use of devices or modifications that, when installed, increase the engine horsepower and torque. It is because of these unknown stresses, and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is subsequently removed. Refer to the latest version of Bulletin 09-06-04-026 (V8 Gas Engines) or 06-06-01-007 (Duramax(TM) Diesel Engines) for more information on dealer requirements for calibration verification. These same policies apply as they relate to the use of non-GM accessories. Damage or failure from the use or installation of a non-GM accessory will not be covered under warranty. Failure resulting from the alteration or modification of the vehicle, including the cutting, welding or disconnecting of the vehicle's original equipment parts and components will void the warranty. Additionally, dealers will NOT be reimbursed or compensated by GM in the event of any legal inquiry at either the local, state or federal level that Electrical - MIL ON/DTC's Set By Various Control Modules Relay Module: Customer Interest Electrical - MIL ON/DTC's Set By Various Control Modules TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 09-06-03-004D Date: December 08, 2010 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.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-08-49-016A (Section 08 - Body & Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment that the backlighting on the IPC does not illuminate in the daylight hours with headlamps manually turned on. They may further state that the backlighting does function at night, but not in the day time. Cause On these vehicles, backlighting for the IPC is not enabled unless the vehicle's lighting photocell determines that there is a nighttime ambient condition. Backlighting is not controlled through the use of the park lamp or headlamp switch. The conditions under which the photocell activates the backlighting may not satisfy each particular customer's personal expectations, or the customer may simply prefer to have the backlighting always illuminated on the IPC when headlamps are manually turned on. Correction Module reprogramming must be done using the Pass-Thru method. Select "Instrument Panel (Backlight Dimming Fix ONLY)" from the Supported Controllers list. For customers who wish to have the IPC backlighting illuminated, a new service calibration is now available that will activate the backlighting to full intensity during daytime hours with headlamps manually turned on.

The relay armature is held in the open position by spring tension. Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the relay coil and the armature contact at all times. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies the ground path to the relay coil control circuit, via an internal integrated circuit called an output driver module (ODM). When the PCM commands the relay ON, the relay coil creates an electromagnetic field. This electromagnetic field overcomes the spring tension and pulls the armature contact into the stationary contact of the relay load circuit. The closing of the relay contacts allows current to flow from the battery to the following fuses and relay. The ETC FUSE - The EMISSION FUSE - The A/C CLUTCH RELAY When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, power is interrupted to the output driver module in the PCM, and the relay electromagnetic field collapses. This action allows the spring tension pulling on the armature to separate from the relay load circuit contact, which interrupts current flow to the fuses and relay. If the powertrain relay fails to close the engine will crank, but may or may not run. The class II communications will be available with the use of a scan tool. The powertrain relay system diagnosis table assumes that the vehicle battery is fully charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test in Starting and Charging. See: Starting and Charging/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Battery Inspection/Test TEST Page 1643 Page 649 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 5362 Reduced Engine Power Mode When the PCM detects a condition with the TAC system, the PCM may enter a reduced engine power mode. Reduced engine power may cause one or more of the following conditions: Acceleration limiting-The PCM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control; however, the vehicle acceleration is limited. - Limited throttle mode-The PCM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control; however, the maximum throttle opening is limited. - Throttle default mode-The PCM will turn off the throttle actuator motor and the throttle will return to the spring loaded default position. - Forced idle mode-The PCM will perform the following actions: Limit engine speed to idle by 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 PCM will disable fuel and de-energize the throttle actuator. Page 2024 Page 5689 Page 13282 3.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 7528 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Page 10111 8.

Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 7206 This service data uses various symbols in order to describe different service operations. Locations Rear Roof Rail - Sedan Page 11533 8.5.

Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 5295 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-03-10-006E (Section 03 - Suspension). Important - Before measuring tires on equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700, the vehicle MUST be driven a minimum of 16 km (10 mi) to ensure removal of any flat-spotting. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E - Tire/Wheel Characteristics of GM Original Equipment Tires. - Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 MUST be calibrated prior to measuring tire/wheel assemblies for each vehicle. The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance to GM dealers when using tire force variation measurement equipment, such as the Hunter GSP9700. This type of equipment can be a valuable tool in diagnosing vehicle ride concerns. The most common ride concern involving tire radial force variation is highway speed shake on smooth roads. Tire related smooth road highway speed shake can be caused by three conditions: imbalance, out of round and tire force variation. These three conditions are not necessarily related. All three conditions must be addressed. Imbalance is normally addressed first, because it is the simpler of the three to correct. Off-vehicle, two plane dynamic wheel balancers are readily available and can accurately correct any imbalance. Balancer calibration and maintenance, proper attachment of the wheel to the balancer, and proper balance weights, are all factors required for a quality balance. However, a perfectly balanced tire/wheel assembly can still be "oval shaped" and cause a vibration. Before balancing, perform the following procedures. Tire and Wheel Diagnosis 1. Set the tire pressure to the placard values. 2. With the vehicle raised, ensure the wheels are centered on the hub by loosening all wheel nuts and hand-tightening all nuts first by hand while shaking the wheel, then torque to specifications using a torque wrench, NOT a torque stick. 3. Visually inspect the tires and the wheels. Inspect for evidence of the following conditions and correct as necessary: - Missing balance weights - Bent rim flange - Irregular tire wear - Incomplete bead seating - Tire irregularities (including pressure settings) - Mud/ice build-up in wheel - Stones in the tire tread - Remove any aftermarket wheels and/or tires and restore vehicle to original condition prior to diagnosing a smooth road shake condition. 4. Road test the vehicle using the Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA) essential tool. Drive for a sufficient distance on a known, smooth road surface to duplicate the condition. Determine if the vehicle is sensitive to brake apply. If the brakes are applied lightly and the pulsation felt in the steering wheel increases, refer to the Brakes section of the service manual that deals with brake-induced pulsation. If you can start to hear the vibration as a low boom noise (in addition to feeling it), but cannot see it, the vehicle likely has a first order (one pulse per propshaft revolution) driveline vibration. Driveline first order vibrations are high enough in frequency that most humans can start to hear them at highway speeds, but are too high to be able to be easily seen. These issues can be caused by driveline imbalance or misalignment. If the vehicle exhibits this low boom and the booming pulses in-and-out on a regular basis (like a throbbing), chances are good that the vehicle could have driveline vibration. This type Page 7469 Page 10985 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 10939 Side Impact Modules Page 6411 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Steering/Suspension - Vehicle Pull/Lead Diagnosis Alignment: Customer Interest Steering/Suspension - Vehicle Pull/Lead Diagnosis Bulletin No.: 04-03-06-001 Date: September 10, 2004 INFORMATION Subject: Vehicle Leads/Pulls Characteristics and Diagnosis Models: 2004-2005 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu MAXX 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. Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors: ^ Tire construction Variability in the tire construction may produce lead/pull. The rear tires will not cause lead/pull. ^ Wheel alignment ^ Brake Drag ^ Unbalanced steering gear Visual/Physical Inspection ^ Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of any of the suspension sub-systems. ^ Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom. ^ Inspect for proper tire size and inflation pressure. ^ Inspect for abnormal tire wear. Vehicle Leads/Pulls Alignment Diagnosis and Repair Front cross-caster and front cross-camber are the only wheel alignment parameters that influence lead or pull. If the vehicle leads/pulls to the left after performing the steps listed in SI Document ID, and the front wheel alignment parameters are found to be in specification, adjust the front left and/or right camber to achieve a cross-camber of -0.50° to -0.75°. Refer to Front Camber Adjustment, SI Document. The cross-camber is the difference between the left side camber and the right side camber (cross-camber = LH camber-RH camber). Positive cross-camber may cause the vehicle to pull to the left. For example: If the vehicle pulls to the left, adjust the cross-camber more negative and vice-versa. Steering Position and Torque Sensor Calibration Important: ONLY perform the steering position sensor and torque sensor recalibration procedure after the tires, suspension and alignment specifications have been inspected and/or corrected and the vehicle still exhibits a lead or pull condition. Failure to do so may result in additional customer lead and or pull concerns. After inspecting the suspension, tires and alignment, and if the vehicle still leads or/pulls, it may be necessary to recalibrate the steering position sensor and torque sensor. Refer to Control Module Setup, SI Document ID. Page 11915 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 6702 - Shell - Shell-Canada - Entec Stations located in the greater Montgomery, Alabama area. - MFA Oil Company located throughout Missouri. - Kwik Trip, Inc. in Minnesota and Wisconsin and Kwik Star convenience stores in Iowa.

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

Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 13331 Body Control Module (BCM) C2 Part 3 Page 3460 40.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 7362 Page 1531 Page 10349 Disclaimer Page 8278 10. Hand start the bolts. Tighten the control valve body bolts to 12 Nm (9 ft. lbs.). 11.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 1217 Pedal Positioning Sensor: Service and Repair Brake Pedal Position Sensor Replacement BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved 4T40-E/4T45-E Shift Solenoid: Diagrams 4T40-E/4T45-E Page 12927 Parts Information Page 13304 Conversion - English/Metric Part 1 Page 7186 7. Pressing the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) tool in the release cavity of the terminal you are removing, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used. TERMINAL REPAIR PROCEDURE Use the appropriate terminal and crimper in the J-38125 in order to replace the terminal. Weather Pack Connectors WEATHER PACK CONNECTORS The following is the proper procedure for the repair of Weather Pack(R) Connectors. 1. Separate the connector halves (1). 2. Open the secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the connector (1). 3. Grasp the wire and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the wire in this position. 4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder (1). 5. Gently pull on the wire to remove the terminal through the back of the connector (2). IMPORTANT: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector. 6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary. 7. Reform the lock tang (2) and reset terminal in connector body. 8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves. 9. Verify that circuit is complete and working satisfactorily. 10. Perform system check. Campaign - Deactivation Of Analog OnStar(R) Technical Service Bulletin # 08089C Date: 081118 Campaign - Deactivation Of Analog OnStar(R) # 08089C: Special Coverage Adjustment - Analog OnStar Deactivation (Nov 18, 2008) Subject: 08089C -- SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT - ANALOG ONSTAR(R) DEACTIVATION Page 5215 This service data uses various symbols in order to describe different service operations. Page 4631 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 3832 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 1 Page 8525 5. Remove the brake pads from the brake caliper bracket. 6. Remove the brake pad retainers from the brake caliper bracket. 7.

Inspect the brake caliper bracket. 11. Replace the brake caliper bracket if cracked or damaged. Installation Procedure 1. Install the brake caliper bracket. Notice: This is a self-retaining fastener joint that does not require thread locking compounds. Do not attempt to clean the threads with a standard tap. If a standard tap is used, damage to the joint threads will occur. Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. 2. Install the brake caliper mounting bracket bolts (2). ^ Tighten the brake caliper mounting bracket bolts to 115 Nm (85 ft. lbs.). Page 10819 Page 4967 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 1945 Page 541 1.

Once the front 2 locks are unlocked, lift the front of the dress cover and pull it forward. Page 12570 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. SIR Disabling and Enabling Zones Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair SIR Disabling and Enabling Zones SIR DISABLING AND ENABLING ZONES IMPORTANT: Refer to SIR Service Precautions before disabling the SIR system.

ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 7443 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 1933 English Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development ENGLISH PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Thread Inserts THREAD INSERTS General purpose thread repair kits.

Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 9057 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 3055 Disclaimer Page 8825 Diagram Information and Instructions Throttle Position Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions Passenger Car Zoning PASSENGER CAR ZONING All grounds, in-line connectors, pass-through grommets, and splices have identifying numbers that correspond to where they are located in the vehicle.

Wipe off any excessive grease on the intermediate shaft to avoid damage from drips on the carpet. 8. Install the instrument panel insulator panel - left side. 9. Verify that the noise is no longer present. Condition 2 There may be interference between the clamp and the steering gear input shaft. The clamp is beveled and if forced down on the input shaft too hard, it may cause a loose fit with the intermediate shaft to input shaft joint. Correction 2 To correct this condition, perform the following steps: 1. Remove the intermediate shaft pinch bolt at the steering gear end. 2. Install a new bolt, GM P/N 07845238, but do not tighten the bolt at this time. 3. Pry the clamp up using a pry bar to position the bolt into the upper part of the groove as shown above. This will position the clamp off the bevel. 4. While keeping the clamp in the upper position, tighten the bolt. Tighten Tighten the bolt to 49 Nm (36 lb ft). 5. Verify that the clunk noise is no longer present. Condition 3 Important This condition ONLY applies to 2004-2007 Chevrolet Malibu/Maxx and 2005-2007 Pontiac G6. Some customers may comment on a knocking or rattling type noise from the front of the vehicle when driven at low speeds and over bumps. The noise only occurs when the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position and sounds like the noise is in the left suspension of the vehicle or directly in front of the driver. Correction 3 1. Ensure the noise is not caused by Condition # 1. 2. Determine the source of the noise. Install the chassis ears at the following locations: - sway bar link - one side at a time - upper strut mount - one side at a time - steering gear near the pinion area - base of the steering column housing - radiator surge tank 3. If the noise is coming from the upper strut mount or sway bar link, replace as necessary and retest. 4. For 2004-2006 Chevrolet and Pontiac model year vehicles, the noise may be coming from the radiator surge tank area. (The 2007 model year vehicles use a different style radiator surge tank - refer to Step 9.) 5. If the noise is coming from the radiator surge tank, release the two retaining tabs holding the radiator surge tank and reposition the tank away from the attaching bracket and isolate with closed cell foam. 6. Cut three pieces of closed cell foam, P/N P46515 (or equivalent), into 25 mm (1 in) by 102 mm (4 in) pieces. 7.

Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs Page 2000 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 368 OnStar(R) Microphone The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit. In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the microphone. Cellular and GPS Antennas The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas: ^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas. ^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a single part. ^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM). The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna. The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10 minutes to register in the event of a loss of power. Audio System Interface When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle receives a call with the radio ON. On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return to its previous setting. OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it. By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands. The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network. The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body control module (BCM). OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle) The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended. A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2 and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by accessing www.onstarenrollment.com All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After 48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF, Page 6072 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 7367 OnStar(R) - Incorrect GPS Position Reported During Call Navigation System: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Incorrect GPS Position Reported During Call Bulletin No.: 02-08-46-006C Date: January 08, 2008 INFORMATION Subject: Incorrect OnStar(R) Global Positioning System (GPS) Location Reported During OnStar(R) Call Models: 2000-2008 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2008 HUMMER H2 2006-2008 HUMMER H3 2005-2008 Saab 9-7X with OnStar(R) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-006B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R) will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected. It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure. In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R) module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery. The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes. After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position. If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge. Warranty Information (excluding Saab US Models) For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.

If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 5061 Page 13314 Assistance for all GM fleet customers using GM STC products and services is provided on the Internet via www.gmcommontraining.com using the "Contact Us" button on the site and/or the GM Common Training Help Desk at 1-888-748-2687.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 4507 Page 7445 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 7680 Shift Indicator: Service and Repair Shift Indicator Replacement Removal Procedure 1.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

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

General Information 1. The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear, or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have a no power/no communication condition. 2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com. 3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle. Note: If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module. 4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original analog production or digital upgrade. 5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required for a new module replacement. Do not discard. 6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. Page 8758 7. Wipe off any excessive grease on the intermediate shaft to avoid damage from drips on the carpet. 8. Install the instrument panel insulator panel - left side. 9. Verify that the noise is no longer present. Condition 2 There may be interference between the clamp and the steering gear input shaft. The clamp is beveled and if forced down on the input shaft too hard, it may cause a loose fit with the intermediate shaft to input shaft joint. Correction 2 To correct this condition, perform the following steps: 1. Remove the intermediate shaft pinch bolt at the steering gear end. 2. Install a new bolt, GM P/N 07845238, but do not tighten the bolt at this time. 3. Pry the clamp up using a pry bar to position the bolt into the upper part of the groove as shown above. This will position the clamp off the bevel. 4. While keeping the clamp in the upper position, tighten the bolt. Tighten Tighten the bolt to 49 Nm (36 lb ft). 5. Verify that the clunk noise is no longer present. Condition 3 Important This condition ONLY applies to 2004-2007 Chevrolet Malibu/Maxx and 2005-2007 Pontiac G6. Some customers may comment on a knocking or rattling type noise from the front of the vehicle when driven at low speeds and over bumps. The noise only occurs when the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position and sounds like the noise is in the left suspension of the vehicle or directly in front of the driver. Correction 3 1. Ensure the noise is not caused by Condition # 1. 2. Determine the source of the noise. Install the chassis ears at the following locations: - sway bar link - one side at a time - upper strut mount - one side at a time - steering gear near the pinion area - base of the steering column housing - radiator surge tank 3. If the noise is coming from the upper strut mount or sway bar link, replace as necessary and retest. 4. For 2004-2006 Chevrolet and Pontiac model year vehicles, the noise may be coming from the radiator surge tank area. (The 2007 model year vehicles use a different style radiator surge tank - refer to Step 9.) 5. If the noise is coming from the radiator surge tank, release the two retaining tabs holding the radiator surge tank and reposition the tank away from the attaching bracket and isolate with closed cell foam. 6. Cut three pieces of closed cell foam, P/N P46515 (or equivalent), into 25 mm (1 in) by 102 mm (4 in) pieces. 7. Cut two pieces of closed cell foam into 25 mm (1 in) by 6 mm (1/4 in) pieces. Page 11315 Page 11190 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 4864 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 5868 Page 5560 Assistance for all GM fleet customers using GM STC products and services is provided on the Internet via www.gmcommontraining.com using the "Contact Us" button on the site and/or the GM Common Training Help Desk at 1-888-748-2687.

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.

The powertrain control module (PCM) turns the MIL ON by grounding the MIL control circuit. There should be a steady MIL with the ignition ON and the engine OFF. MIL OPERATION The MIL is located on the instrument panel cluster (IPC). MIL Function The MIL informs the driver that a malfunction has occurred and the vehicle should be taken in for service as soon as possible. - The MIL illuminates during a bulb test and a system test. - A DTC will be stored if a MIL is requested by the PCM. MIL Illumination The MIL will illuminate with ignition switch ON and the engine not running. - The MIL will turn OFF when the engine is started. - The MIL will remain ON if the self-diagnostic system has detected a malfunction. - The MIL may turn OFF if the malfunction is not present. - If the MIL is illuminated and then the engine stalls, the MIL will remain illuminated so long as the ignition switch is ON. - If the MIL is not illuminated and the engine stalls, the MIL will not illuminate until the ignition switch is cycled OFF, then ON. TEST DESCRIPTION Page 46 4.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

The position of the float arm indicates the fuel level. The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor which changes resistance in correspondence with the position of the float arm. The control module sends the fuel level information via the Class 2 circuit to the instrument panel cluster (IPC). This information is used for the IPC fuel gage and the low fuel warning indicator, if applicable. The control module also monitors the fuel level input for various diagnostics. Page 5751 Diagrams Remote Control: Diagrams Steering Wheel Controls - Left (With RPO Code UK3) TPMS System - Service And Re-Learning Sensor IDs Tire Pressure Sensor: Technical Service Bulletins TPMS System - Service And Re-Learning Sensor IDs INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 10-03-16-001 Date: July 19, 2010 Subject: TPMS System Service and Re-Learning Sensor IDs Models: 2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2 2009 and Prior HUMMER H3 2010 and Prior Saturn Models 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X with Wheel-Mounted Tire Pressure Sensors In the event that the spare tire, which is normally not equipped with a tire pressure monitor (TPM) sensor, is installed in place of one of the road tires and the vehicle is driven above 40 km/h (25 mph) for 20 minutes or more, the TPM indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash for approximately one minute and then remain on steady each time the ignition is turned ON, indicating a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set. The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, will also display a SERVICE TIRE MONITOR type message. When the road tire is repaired and reinstalled in the original location, the TPM indicator icon illumination and DIC message may remain displayed until the DTC is cleared. To ensure that the TPM indicator and the DIC message are cleared after service, it is necessary to clear any TPM DTCs using a scan tool. If a scan tool is unavailable, performing the TPM relearn procedure using a TPM diagnostic tool will provide the same results. It is advised to perform the relearn procedure away from other vehicles to prevent picking up a stray sensor signal. If one or more of the TPM sensors are missing or damaged and have been replaced, then the relearn procedure must be performed.

Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005 Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued September 2008. Condition In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Commissions (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On Star(R) is unable to continue analog service. OnStar(R) has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are some vehicles that OnStar(R) could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar(R) hardware in these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar(R), the hardware in the vehicle is still active. If the OnStar(R) emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar(R) is being contacted. However, since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar(R). To end the call, the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system will continue to try to connect to OnStar(R) until the vehicle battery is drained. Special Policy Adjustment At the customer's request, dealers/retailers are to deactivate the OnStar(R) system. The service will be made at no charge to the customer. This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles. Vehicles Involved Page 3435 4.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Diagram Information and Instructions Body Control Module: Diagram Information and Instructions Passenger Car Zoning PASSENGER CAR ZONING All grounds, in-line connectors, pass-through grommets, and splices have identifying numbers that correspond to where they are located in the vehicle.

Install the trim panel. Page 6641 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 13838 Power Trunk / Liftgate Lock Switch: Service and Repair REAR COMPARTMENT LID SWITCH REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

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 Page 4056 Steps 1-6 Page 7489 Page 5259 serial data. If the engine run flag serial data is True, indicating that the engine is running, the modules fail-safe to RUN. In this state, the modules and their subsystems can support all operator requirements. If the engine run flag serial data is False, indicating that the engine is not running, the modules fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state, the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle. Discrete Ignition Signals Those modules that have discrete ignition signal inputs, also remain in the state dictated by the last valid PMM message received on the serial data circuits. They then check the state of their discrete ignition input to determine the current valid state. If the discrete ignition input is active, battery positive voltage, the modules will fail-safe to the RUN power mode. If the discrete ignition input is not active, open or 0 volts, the modules will fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state, the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle. BCM Wake-Up/Sleep States The body control module (BCM) is able to control or perform all of the BCM functions in the wake-up state. The BCM enters the sleep state when active control or monitoring of system functions has stopped, and the BCM has become idle again. The BCM must detect certain wake-up inputs before entering the wake-up state. The BCM monitors for these inputs during the sleep state, where the BCM is able to detect switch transitions that cause the BCM to wake-up when activated or deactivated. Multiple switch inputs are needed in order to sense both the insertion of the ignition key and the power mode requested. The BCM will enter a wake-up state, if any of the following wake-up inputs are detected: Activity on the serial data line - Detection of a battery disconnect and reconnect condition - Headlamps are ON. - Ignition is turned ON. - Key-in-ignition switch - Park lamps are ON. - RFA message The BCM will enter a sleep state when all of the following conditions exist: The ignition switch is OFF. - No activity exists on the serial data line. - No outputs are commanded. - No delay timers are actively counting. - No wake-up inputs are present. If all these conditions are met, the BCM will enter a low power or sleep condition. This condition indicates that the BCM, which is the power mode master (PMM) of the vehicle, has sent an OFF or OFF-ASLEEP message to the other systems on the serial data line. Page 13319 Page 607 Important: Ensure that the electrical connector is correctly inserted properly into the EBCM prior to swinging the assist locking lever into position. Failure to make a proper connection may cause communication problems with the module. 5. If installing a new EBCM it is necessary to program the EBCM. 6.

Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3) terminals. An excessively wide electrode gap can prevent correct spark plug operation. - Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Insufficient torque can prevent correct spark plug operation. An over torqued spark plug, causes the insulator (2) to crack. - Inspect for signs of tracking that occurred near the insulator tip instead of the center electrode (4). - Inspect for a broken or worn side electrode (3). - Inspect for a broken, worn, or loose center electrode (4) by shaking the spark plug. A rattling sound indicates internal damage. - A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark intensity. - Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the gap. - Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4) If equipped. - Inspect for excessive fouling. - Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during installation. SPARK PLUG VISUAL INSPECTION - Normal operation-Brown to grayish-tan with small amounts of white powdery deposits are normal combustion by-products from fuels with additives. - Carbon Fouled-Dry, fluffy black carbon, or soot caused by the following conditions: Rich fuel mixtures Leaking fuel injectors - Excessive fuel pressure - Restricted air filter element - Incorrect combustion - Reduced ignition system voltage output Weak 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. Page 1491 3.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 13160 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 5247 Body Control Module(BCM) C4 Part 2 Page 4520 Page 6947 Fuel Rail: Service and Repair FUEL RAIL ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

The ICM fires the correct ignition coil at the correct time based on the signals. The ICM detects if cylinder 1 or cylinder 3 is on the compression stroke by sensing the secondary voltage and polarity of each side of the ignition coil. The ICM detects this voltage with sensing circuitry integrated into each ignition coil. The higher voltage is on the compressing cylinder. This is called compression sense ignition. The ICM provides a synthesized cam signal to the PCM based on these inputs. The PCM uses the cam signal to synchronize fuel injection. This system consists of the following circuits: - An ignition voltage circuit - A ground circuit - A camshaft position (CMP) sensor signal circuit - An IC timing control circuit for cylinders #1 and #4 - An IC timing control B circuit for cylinders #2 and #3 Page 8323 17.

The largest groove below the sight groove on the halfshaft bar is the seal groove (3). Page 8103 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Diagrams Page 6818 Metric Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development METRIC PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Page 7335 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

The brake drums do not require refinishing as part of routine brake system service. Do not refinish brake drums in an attempt to correct the following conditions: ^ Brake system noise (squeal, growl, groan) ^ Uneven and/or premature brake lining wear ^ Superficial or cosmetic corrosion/rust of the brake drum surface ^ Scoring of the brake drum surface (less than the maximum allowable specification) 2. Brake drums should only be refinished if the following conditions exist: ^ Excessive corrosion/rust and/or pitting ^ Cracks and/or heat spots ^ Excessive blueing discoloration ^ Scoring of the brake drum surface (in excess of the maximum allowable specification) ^ Radial runout in excess of the maximum allowable specification 3. Inspect each of the brake drums and determine if the brake drums can be refinished and remain within the maximum allowable diameter after refinish specification: 1. With the tire and wheel assemblies removed, measure the diameter of each of the brake drums. 2. Inspect each of the brake drums for excessive surface wear and/or radial runout. 4. If the brake drums can be refinished, proceed with the rotor refinishing procedure. 5. If necessary, use the J 41013 in order to thoroughly clean any corrosion/rust from the brake drum flange. 6. Mount the brake drum to the brake lathe according to the lathe manufacturer's instructions. 7. Ensure that any vibration dampening attachments are securely in place. 8. With the brake lathe running, slowly bring in the cutting tool until it just contacts the brake drum friction surface. 9. Observe the witness mark on the brake drum. If the witness mark extends approximately three-quarters or more of the way around the brake drum surface, the brake drum is properly mounted to the lathe. 10. If the witness mark does not extend three-quarters or more of the way around the brake drum, re-mount the brake drum to the lathe. 11. Following the brake lathe manufacturer's instructions, refinish the brake drum. 12. After each successive cut, inspect the brake drum diameter. 13. If at any time the brake drum exceeds the maximum allowable diameter after refinish specification, the brake drum must be replaced. 14. After refinishing the brake drum, use the following procedure in order to obtain the desired non-directional finish: 0. Follow the brake lathe manufacturer's recommended speed setting for applying a non-directional finish 1. 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. 2. After applying a non-directional finish, clean each friction surface of the brake drum with denatured alcohol or an equivalent brake cleaner 15. Remove the brake drum from the brake lathe. Important: Failure to clean the corrosion from the wheel bearing flange may result in increased lateral runout of the brake drum and brake system pulsation. 16. If necessary, use the J 42450-A in order to thoroughly clean any corrosion from the wheel bearing flange. Page 5701 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 3696 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 4264 Page 4736 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 8833 Page 5884 Body Control System Diagram 2 Page 5238 Body Control Module: Connector Views Body Control Module(BCM) C1 Part 1 Page 12141 Important: Secure the wiring harness so that there is no risk of chafing or rattling. 6.1.

Incorrect placement of the hoist pads may cause a crack/leak in the EVAP canister plastic and eventually set one or both of the following DTCs: - DTC P0442 - small EVAP leak detected - DTC P0455 - large EVAP leak detected To avoid this situation, particularly when using the type of hoist where the arms swing in and the pick up pads swivel, be sure of the placement of the pick up pads. If the pick up pads are not positioned correctly to the underbody pick up areas, this type of damage may occur.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 7340 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 5292 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 10708 11.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Bezel Replacement - Front Door Switch Power Window Switch: Service and Repair Bezel Replacement - Front Door Switch BEZEL REPLACEMENT - FRONT DOOR SWITCH REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 2115 Page 1706 Tighten the knock sensor-to-engine block bolt to 25 N.m (18 lb ft). 4.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 1504 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 2197 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 3820 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 8743 Use pliers to remove the white grommet from the cable.

Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. OnStar(R) - Generation 6 Service Procedures Technical Service Bulletin # 09-08-46-001 Date: 090409 OnStar(R) - Generation 6 Service Procedures INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 09-08-46-001 Date: April 09, 2009 Subject: Servicing Vehicles Upgraded to OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital‐Capable System (Follow Information Below) Models Attention: This bulletin is being issued to provide dealer personnel with information and the procedures to diagnose an upgraded OnStar(R) Generation 6 Digital-Capable system. Program Overview Since it was launched in 1996, OnStar® has relied on an analog wireless network to provide communication to and from OnStar-equipped vehicles. As part of an industry wide change in the North American wireless telecommunications industry, wireless carriers are transitioning to digital technology and will no longer support the analog wireless network beginning early 2008. Effective January 1, 2008, OnStar(R) service in the United States and Canada will be available only through vehicles that are capable of operating on the digital network. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-46-006H for information about upgrading certain vehicles to digital service. Details were covered in both the November 2006 and December 2007 issues of TechLink, which are available in the Archives of the TechLink website. Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is available within the OnStar(R) Canada Online Enrollment site that can be accessed from the OnStar(R) Brand Resources in GlobalConnect. Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC). Page 6338 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 1275 Seat Adjuster Switch - Driver (6-Way) Page 8246 2. Once the valve is removed, inspect for any scratching or scoring. 3. If any scratching or scoring is found, then the fingernail test will need to be performed. Important: It has been found that in most cases that the scratches are not severe enough to catch your fingernail. 4. Using your fingernail, move over any scratches to see if your nail will catch on the scratch or score. - If your nail catches in the scratches, the valve will need to be replaced. - If your nail does not catch in the scratches, continue with the next step. 6. Important: Clean the valve body with the machined side down so debris may escape. 7. Clean the valve and bore using brake cleaner. 8. Blow off with shop air. 9. To verify free movement of the valve, dip the valve into clean ATF and install the valve back into the appropriate bore. The valve should move freely. If the valve moves freely, in most cases the valve body will function properly when reinstalled. 10.

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 4636 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.

Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 3680 7.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Engine - Excessive Oil Consumption/Blue Exhaust Smoke Valve Cover: Customer Interest Engine - Excessive Oil Consumption/Blue Exhaust Smoke Bulletin No.: 05-06-01-003C Date: October 17, 2005 TECHNICAL Subject: Excessive Oil Consumption, Blue Smoke on Acceleration (Inspect Intake Manifold and/or Cam Cover, Replace if Necessary) Models: 2004-2005 Chevrolet Cavalier, Classic, Malibu 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt 2004 Oldsmobile Alero 2004-2005 Pontiac Grand Am, Sunfire 2005 Pontiac Pursuit (Canada Only) 2004-2005 Saturn L-Series, ION, VUE with Ecotec 2.2L 4-Cylinder Engine (VINs D, F - RPO L61) Attention: This bulletin covers any vehicle with the Ecotec 2.2L L61 engine built during calendar year 2004.

Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 4960 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 6443 Page 1044 This service data uses various symbols in order to describe different service operations. Page 11369 Antenna Cable: Service and Repair Antenna Cable Replacement ANTENNA CABLE REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire.

Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) is a cellular device that allows the user to communicate data and voice signals over the national cellular network. Power is provided by a dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the module. The ignition state is determined by the VCIM through serial data messaging. Dedicated circuits are used to connect the VCIM to a microphone, the button assembly, and to command the status LED. The VCIM communicates with the rest of the vehicle modules using the serial data bus. The module houses 2 technology systems, one to process GPS data, and another for cellular information. The cellular system connects the OnStar(R) system to the cellular carrier's communication system by interacting with the national cellular infrastructure. The module sends and receives all cellular communications over the cellular antenna and cellular antenna coax. GPS satellites orbiting earth are constantly transmitting signals of their current location. The OnStar(R) system uses the GPS signals to provide location on demand. The module also has the capability of activating the horn, initiating door lock/unlock, or activating the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the OnStar(R) Call Center per: a customer request. OnStar(R) Button Assembly The OnStar(R) button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit. The button assembly is comprised of 3 buttons and a status LED. The buttons are defined as follows: ^ The answer/end call button, which is black with a white phone icon, allows the user to answer and end calls or initiate speech recognition. ^ The blue OnStar(R) call center button, which displays the OnStar(R) logo, allows the user to connect to the OnStar(R) call center. ^ The emergency button, which displays a white cross with a red background, sends a high priority emergency call to the OnStar(R) call center when pressed. The VCIM supplies 10 volts to the OnStar(R) button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit. When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the VCIM on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned the VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed. The OnStar(R) status LED is located with the button assembly. The LED is green when the system is ON and operating normally. When the status LED is green and flashing, it is an indication that a call is in progress. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event there is a system malfunction and the OnStar(R) system is still able to make a call, the LED will flash red during the call. If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar(R) subscription is not active or has expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the account status. Each LED is controlled by the VCIM over dedicated LED signal circuits. Ground for the LED is provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly. Page 10737 1. Connect the horn ground lead onto the steering wheel. 2.

Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 6412 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 12980 Action Taken When the DTCs Sets The module suspends all message transmission.

Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Service and Repair Parking Brake Pedal: Service and Repair Park Brake Pedal Assembly Replacement Removal Procedure The automatic adjustment park brake pedal assembly and the front park brake cable are serviced as a unit.

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 Page 2994 9.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 9054 Auxiliary Power Outlet: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Service and Repair Housing Assembly HVAC: Service and Repair HVAC MODULE ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 1579 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 1995 Conversion - English/Metric Part 1 Page 6187 Page 4744 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5.

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

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 2215 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order.

Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 9988 Page 10365 Mode Actuator Page 4341 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 1404 Fuel Pump and Sender Assembly Page 3722 Page 12654 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system.

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

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 5794 Disclaimer Page 13177 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 1 Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Replacement (Pre-Catalyst) Oxygen Sensor: Service and Repair Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Replacement (Pre-Catalyst) HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) REPLACEMENT (PRE-CATALYST) REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 2759 Application Table Part 2 Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) Bracket Replacement Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Service and Repair Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) Bracket Replacement Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) Bracket Replacement Removal Procedure 1.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 12081 Page 9144 Location View Page 9685 Alignment: Description and Operation Caster Description Caster Description Caster is the tilting of the uppermost point of the steering axis either forward or backward, when viewed from the side of the vehicle. A backward tilt is positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-). Caster influences directional control of the steering but does not affect the tire wear. Caster is affected by the vehicle height, therefore it is important to keep the body at its designed height. Overloading the vehicle or a weak or sagging rear spring will affect caster. When the rear of the vehicle is lower than its designated trim height, the front suspension moves to a more positive caster. If the rear of the vehicle is higher than its designated trim height, the front suspension moves to a less positive caster. With too little positive caster, steering may be touchy at high speed and wheel returnability may be diminished when coming out of a turn. If one wheel has more positive caster than the other, that wheel will pull toward the center of the vehicle. This condition will cause the vehicle to pull or lead to the side with the least amount of positive caster. Camber Description Camber Description Camber is the tilting of the wheels from the vertical when viewed from the front of the vehicle. When the wheels tilt outward at the top, the camber is positive (+). When the wheel tilts inward at the top, the camber is negative (-). The amount of tilt is measured in degrees from the vertical. Camber settings influence the directional control and the tire wear. Too much positive camber will result in premature wear on the outside of the tire and cause excessive wear on the suspension parts. Too much negative camber will result in premature wear on the inside of the tire and cause excessive wear on the suspension parts. Unequal side-to-side camber of 1 degree or more will cause the vehicle to pull or lead to the side with the most positive camber. Toe Description Page 6925 PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening. ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 11179 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 13851 Trunk / Liftgate Interior Trim Panel: Service and Repair Trim Panel Replacement - Liftgate (Upper) Trim Panel Replacement - Liftgate (Upper) Removal Procedure 1.

Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 2668 Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair Transmission Fluid Checking Procedure Transmission Fluid Check Page 12032 Disclaimer Page 11675 For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-03-10-006E (Section 03 - Suspension). Important - Before measuring tires on equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700, the vehicle MUST be driven a minimum of 16 km (10 mi) to ensure removal of any flat-spotting. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E - Tire/Wheel Characteristics of GM Original Equipment Tires. - Equipment such as the Hunter GSP9700 MUST be calibrated prior to measuring tire/wheel assemblies for each vehicle. The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance to GM dealers when using tire force variation measurement equipment, such as the Hunter GSP9700. This type of equipment can be a valuable tool in diagnosing vehicle ride concerns. The most common ride concern involving tire radial force variation is highway speed shake on smooth roads. Tire related smooth road highway speed shake can be caused by three conditions: imbalance, out of round and tire force variation. These three conditions are not necessarily related. All three conditions must be addressed. Imbalance is normally addressed first, because it is the simpler of the three to correct. Off-vehicle, two plane dynamic wheel balancers are readily available and can accurately correct any imbalance. Balancer calibration and maintenance, proper attachment of the wheel to the balancer, and proper balance weights, are all factors required for a quality balance. However, a perfectly balanced tire/wheel assembly can still be "oval shaped" and cause a vibration. Before balancing, perform the following procedures. Tire and Wheel Diagnosis 1. Set the tire pressure to the placard values. 2. With the vehicle raised, ensure the wheels are centered on the hub by loosening all wheel nuts and hand-tightening all nuts first by hand while shaking the wheel, then torque to specifications using a torque wrench, NOT a torque stick. 3. Visually inspect the tires and the wheels. Inspect for evidence of the following conditions and correct as necessary: - Missing balance weights - Bent rim flange - Irregular tire wear - Incomplete bead seating - Tire irregularities (including pressure settings) - Mud/ice build-up in wheel - Stones in the tire tread - Remove any aftermarket wheels and/or tires and restore vehicle to original condition prior to diagnosing a smooth road shake condition. 4. Road test the vehicle using the Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA) essential tool. Drive for a sufficient distance on a known, smooth road surface to duplicate the condition. Determine if the vehicle is sensitive to brake apply. If the brakes are applied lightly and the pulsation felt in the steering wheel increases, refer to the Brakes section of the service manual that deals with brake-induced pulsation. If you can start to hear the vibration as a low boom noise (in addition to feeling it), but cannot see it, the vehicle likely has a first order (one pulse per propshaft revolution) driveline vibration. Driveline first order vibrations are high enough in frequency that most humans can start to hear them at highway speeds, but are too high to be able to be easily seen. These issues can be caused by driveline imbalance or misalignment. If the vehicle exhibits this low boom and the booming pulses in-and-out on a regular basis (like a throbbing), chances are good that the vehicle could have driveline vibration. This type Page 5813 Page 9350 Auxiliary Power Outlet: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 2102 lock cylinder in the latch assembly. This retainer tumbler is not moved by the key. The retainer tumbler occupies the slot closest to the head of the I/P storage compartment lock cylinder and should come already installed in the cylinder. 1. Hold the cylinder (3) so that the side with 4 tumbler spring wells is facing up. 2. Insert tumbler springs (2) into the 4 spring wells. 3. Install the tumbler (1) for key cut position 7 into the slot nearest to the front of the lock cylinder. 4. Install the 3 remaining tumblers, key cut positions 8, 9 and 10, into the cylinder. 5. Snap the tumblers into place with light hand pressure. 6. Inspect for the correct loading of the tumblers (1) by inserting the key into cylinder (3). All of the tumblers should be flush with the lock cylinder. Page 15 Page 827 Body Control Module: Connector Views Body Control Module(BCM) C1 Part 1 Page 13382 Front Bumper Cover / Fascia: Service and Repair Fascia Grille Replacement - Front Bumper Lower Fascia Grille Replacement - Front Bumper - Lower Removal Procedure 1.

Solder all of the hand crimp terminals excepting Micro-Pack 100 .64 size. Soldering Micro-Pack 100 World terminals may damage the terminal. Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types of circuit breakers are used. 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.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-00-89-027D (Section 00 - General Information). Vehicle Odor Elimination General Motors offers a product that may control or eliminate odors in the interior and luggage compartment areas of GM vehicles. GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator is a non-toxic, biodegradable odor remover. This odorless product has been shown to greatly reduce or remove objectionable smells of mold and mildew resulting from vehicle water leaks (as well as customer created odors, i.e. smoke). You may use GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator on fabrics, vinyl, leather, carpet and sound deadening materials. It may also be induced into HVAC modules and instrument panel ducts (for the control of non-bacterial related odors). Important: This product leaves no residual scent and should not be sold as or considered an air freshener. Product action may result in the permanent elimination of an odor and may be preferable to customers with allergies who are sensitive to perfumes. How to Use This Product GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator may be sprayed on in a ready-to-use formula or used in steam cleaners as an additive with carpet shampoo. This water-based, odorless product is safe for all vehicle interiors. Do not wet or soak any interior surface that plain water would cause to deteriorate, as this product will have the same effect. Also avoid letting this product come into contact with vinegar or any acidic substance. Acid-based products will hamper the effectiveness of, or render GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator inert. Note: Complete eight page treatment sheets are enclosed within each case of GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator. These treatment instructions range from simple vehicle odor elimination to full step by step procedures for odor removal from water leaks. If lost, contact 800-977-4145 to get a replacement set faxed or e-mailed to your dealership. Instructions and cautions are printed on the bottle, but additional help is available. If you encounter a difficult to eliminate or reoccurring odor, you may call 1-800-955-8591 (in Canada, 1-800-977-4145) to obtain additional information and usage suggestions. Important: This product may effectively remove odors when directly contacting the odor source. It should be used in conjunction with diagnostic procedures (in cases such as a water leak) to first eliminate the root cause of the odor, and then the residual odor to permanently correct the vehicle condition. Vehicle Waterleak Odor Elimination STEP ONE: Confirm that all water leaks have been repaired. Determine what areas of the vehicle were water soaked or wet. Components with visible mold/mildew staining should be replaced. Isolate the odor source inside the vehicle. Often an odor can be isolated to an area or component of the vehicle interior by careful evaluation. Odor evaluation may need to be performed by multiple persons. Another method of isolating an odor source is to remove and segregate interior trim and components. Plastic sheeting or drop cloths can be used to confine seats, headliners, etc. to assist in evaluation and diagnoses. If appropriate the vehicle and interior trim should be evaluated separately to determine if the odor stays with the vehicle or the interior components. Odors that stay with the vehicle may be isolated to insulating and sound deadening materials (i.e. water leak at the windshield or standing water in the front foot well area caused mold/mildew to form on the bulkhead or kick panel sound deadening pads. If the interior is removed the floor pan and primed/painted surfaces should be treated with bleach/soap solution, rinsed with clean water and dried. Interior surfaces should then be treated with GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator product before reinstalling carpet or reassembling. Campaign - Deactivation Of Analog OnStar(R) Technical Service Bulletin # 08089C Date: 081118 Campaign - Deactivation Of Analog OnStar(R) # 08089C: Special Coverage Adjustment - Analog OnStar Deactivation (Nov 18, 2008) Subject: 08089C -- SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT - ANALOG ONSTAR(R) DEACTIVATION Page 7438 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 3534 7.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3. Use the proper pick or removal tool (1) in order to release the terminal. Page 9078 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 11590 Action Taken When the DTCs Sets The module suspends all message transmission. The module uses default values for all parameters received on the serial data circuits. The module inhibits the setting of all other communication DTCs.

Abbreviations And Meanings ABBREVIATIONS AND MEANINGS Page 8064 Shift Interlock: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 13266 Page 7033 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 14116 1. Install the sill plate to the vehicle. 2. Install the sill plate fasteners. 3.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-006B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R) will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected. It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure. In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R) module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery. The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes. After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position. If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge. Warranty Information (excluding Saab US Models) For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Warranty Information (Saab US Models) Page 79 Page 7463 Page 4873 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Engine - Noise/Damage Oil Filter Application Importance Oil Filter: Technical Service Bulletins Engine - Noise/Damage Oil Filter Application Importance INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 07-06-01-016B Date: July 27, 2009 Subject: Information on Internal Engine Noise or Damage After Oil Filter Replacement Models: 2010 and Prior Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X Supercede: This bulletin is being updated to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-06-01-016A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System). Important Engine damage that is the result of an incorrect or improperly installed engine oil filter is not a warrantable claim. The best way to avoid oil filter quality concerns is to purchase ACDelco(R) oil filters directly from GMSPO. Oil filter misapplication may cause abnormal engine noise or internal damage. Always utilize the most recent parts information to ensure the correct part number filter is installed when replacing oil filters. Do not rely on physical dimensions alone. Counterfeit copies of name brand parts have been discovered in some aftermarket parts systems. Always ensure the parts you install are from a trusted source. Improper oil filter installation may result in catastrophic engine damage. Refer to the appropriate Service Information (SI) installation instructions when replacing any oil filter and pay particular attention to procedures for proper cartridge filter element alignment. If the diagnostics in SI (Engine Mechanical) lead to the oil filter as the cause of the internal engine noise or damage, dealers should submit a field product report. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 02-00-89-002I (Information for Dealers on How to Submit a Field Product Report).

Many electrical functions on these vehicles do not directly involve the BCM, even though they may on other vehicles. The cooling fans, for example, are controlled by the engine control module (ECM) on the Malibu, but are controlled by the BCM on the Impala. The BCM is primarily a gateway between the high- and low-speed GMLAN serial data buses on the above listed vehicles. Functions That Do Not Involve the BCM The following list of features and functions are not controlled or dependent on the BCM: Important The BCM should NOT be replaced for conditions in these areas. - Cooling fans - Clock display - Radio display - Power mirrors - OnStar(R) - Rear wiper (on Malibu Maxx) - Warning lamps - Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) - Driver seat belt reminder light and chime - Power windows Important The BCM also acts as a power distribution center and may provide a fused battery feed to the modules that actually do control the above functions. Do not assume a similar control module issue will apply to different vehicle lines. Refer to SI for the appropriate description and operation and diagnostic information.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 4239 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 2088 Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is a permanent magnet generator, known as a variable reluctance sensor. The CKP sensor produces an AC voltage of different amplitude and frequency. The frequency depends on the velocity of the crankshaft. The AC voltage output depends on the crankshaft position and the battery voltage. The CKP sensor works in conjunction with a 7X reluctor wheel attached to the crankshaft. The CKP sensor produces 7 pulses for each revolution of the crankshaft. The pulse from the 10-degree notch is known as the sync pulse. The sync pulse is used to synchronize the coil firing sequence with the crankshaft position. The CKP sensor is used for ignition timing, the fuel injector timing, misfire diagnostics and tachometer display. The CKP sensor is connected to the ECM by a signal circuit and a low reference circuit. Page 1513 Conversion - English/Metric Part 1 Page 1139 1.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-06-02-001 (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System). Important: 2004-05 Chevrolet Aveo (Pontiac Wave, Canada Only) does not use DEX-COOL(R). Refer to the flushing procedure explained later in this bulletin. The following information should be utilized when servicing aluminum heater core and/or radiators on repeat visits. A replacement may be necessary because erosion, corrosion, or insufficient inhibitor levels may cause damage to the heater core, radiator or water pump. A coolant check should be performed whenever a heater core, radiator, or water pump is replaced. The following procedures/ inspections should be done to verify proper coolant effectiveness. Caution: To avoid being burned, do not remove the radiator cap or surge tank cap while the engine is hot. The cooling system will release scalding fluid and steam under pressure if the radiator cap or surge tank cap is removed while the engine and radiator are still hot. Important: If the vehicle's coolant is low, drained out, or the customer has repeatedly added coolant or water to the system, then the system should be completely flushed using the procedure explained later in this bulletin. Technician Diagnosis ^ Verify coolant concentration. A 50% coolant/water solution ensures proper freeze and corrosion protection. Inhibitor levels cannot be easily measured in the field, but can be indirectly done by the measurement of coolant concentration. This must be done by using a Refractometer J 23688 (Fahrenheit scale) or J 26568 (centigrade scale), or equivalent, coolant tester. The Refractometer uses a minimal amount of coolant that can be taken from the coolant recovery reservoir, radiator or the engine block. Inexpensive gravity float testers (floating balls) will not completely analyze the coolant concentration fully and should not be used. The concentration levels should be between 50% and 65% coolant concentrate. This mixture will have a freeze point protection of -34 degrees Fahrenheit (-37 degrees Celsius). If the concentration is below 50%, the cooling system must be flushed. ^ Inspect the coolant flow restrictor if the vehicle is equipped with one. Refer to Service Information (SI) and/or the appropriate Service Manual for component location and condition for operation. ^ Verify that no electrolysis is present in the cooling system. This electrolysis test can be performed before or after the system has been repaired. Use a digital voltmeter set to 12 volts. Attach one test lead to the negative battery post and insert the other test lead into the radiator coolant, making sure the lead does not touch the filler neck or core. Any voltage reading over 0.3 volts indicates that stray current is finding its way into the coolant. Electrolysis is often an intermittent condition that occurs when a device or accessory that is mounted to the radiator is energized. This type of current could be caused from a poorly grounded cooling fan or some other accessory and can be verified by watching the volt meter and turning on and off various accessories or engage the starter motor. Before using one of the following flush procedures, the coolant recovery reservoir must be removed, drained, cleaned and reinstalled before refilling the system. Notice: ^ Using coolant other than DEX‐COOL(R) may cause premature engine, heater core or radiator corrosion. In addition, the engine coolant may require changing sooner, at 30,000 miles (50,000 km) or 24 months, whichever occurs first. Any repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Always use DEX‐COOL(R) (silicate free) coolant in your vehicle. ^ If you use an improper coolant mixture, your engine could overheat and be badly damaged. The repair cost would not be covered by your warranty. Too much water in the mixture can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts. Page 8940 Tighten the generator terminal nut to 20 N.m (15 lb ft). 5.

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

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 2175 Tighten the knock sensor-to-engine block bolt to 25 N.m (18 lb ft). 4.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5.

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

Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be involved. Recall claims will only be paid on involved vehicles. For US and Canada For GM dealers and Canadian Saturn Retailers with involved vehicles, a Campaign Initiation Detail Report (CIDR) containing the complete Vehicle Identification Number, customer name and address data has been prepared and will be loaded to the GM DealerWorld (US) Recall Information, GMinfoNet (Canada) Recall Reports. For U.S. Saturn Retailers only, the involved vehicles are provided in a Facility VIN List attachment to the Saturn Bulletin, located on DealerWorld. Dealers/Retailers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles currently assigned. For Export For dealers with involved vehicles, a Campaign Initiation Detail Report containing the complete Vehicle Identification Number, customer name and address data has been prepared, and is being furnished to involved dealers. Dealers will not receive a report with the recall bulletin if they have no involved vehicles currently assigned. The Campaign Initiation Detail Report 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 (GM and Saturn Canada Only) Parts required to complete this recall are to be obtained from General Motors Service Parts Operations (GMSPO). Please refer to your "involved vehicles listing" prior to ordering requirements. Normal orders should be placed on a DRO = Daily Replenishment Order. An emergency requirement should be ordered on a CSO = Customer Special Order. Parts Information (Saturn US Only) A pre-shipment of the required parts to perform this program has been sent to involved Saturn U.S. retailers from Saturn Service Parts Operations (SSPO). Service Procedure Important: The labor time allowance listed in this recall is different than that currently published in the labor time guide for performing the same operation. In the near future, the labor time guide will be updated with this new information. Page 9075 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs Page 5064 Page 6870 Fuel Pressure: Testing and Inspection Fuel System Diagnosis FUEL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The control module enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned ON. The control module will disable the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds unless the control module detects ignition reference pulses. The control module continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as ignition reference pulses are detected. The control module disables the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds if ignition reference pulses cease to be detected and the ignition remains ON. The fuel system is a returnless on-demand design. The fuel pressure regulator is a part of the fuel sender assembly, eliminating the need for a return pipe from the engine. A returnless fuel system reduces the internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the engine to the fuel tank. Reducing the internal temperature of the fuel tank results in lower evaporative emissions. The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel sender assembly inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel filter, contained in the fuel sender assembly, and the fuel feed pipe to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow than is needed by the fuel injection system. The fuel pump also supplies fuel to a venturi pump located on the bottom of the fuel sender assembly. The function of the venturi pump is to fill the fuel sender assembly reservoir. The fuel pressure regulator, a part of the fuel sender assembly, maintains the correct fuel pressure to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump and sender assembly contains a reverse flow check valve. The check valve and the fuel pressure regulator maintain fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long cracking times.

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. Disclaimer Page 9687 ^ Unbalanced steering gear The way in which a tire is built may produce lead/pull. The rear tires will not cause lead. Torque Steer Description 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 is when the vehicle wants to lead or pull in the direction the driver previously turned the vehicle. Additionally, after turning in the opposite direction, the vehicle will want to lead or pull in that direction. Wander Description Wander is the undesired drifting or deviation of a vehicle to either side from a straight path with hand pressure on the steering wheel. Wander is a symptom of the vehicle's sensitivity to external disturbances, such as road crown and crosswind, and accentuated by poor on-center steering feel. Scrub Radius Description Ideally, the scrub radius is as small as possible. Normally, the SAI angle and the centerline of the tire and the wheel intersect below the road surface, causing a positive scrub radius. With struts, the SAI angle is much larger than the long arm/short arm type of suspension. This allows the SAI angle to intersect the camber angle above the road surface, forming a negative scrub radius. The smaller the scrub radius, the better the directional stability. Installing aftermarket wheels that have additional offset will dramatically increase the scrub radius. The newly installed wheels may cause the centerline of the tires to move further away from the spindle. This will increase the scrub radius. A large amount of scrub radius can cause severe shimmy after hitting a bump. Four-wheel drive vehicles with large tires use a steering damper to compensate for an increased scrub radius. Scrub radius is not directly measurable by the conventional methods. Scrub radius is projected geometrically by engineers during the design phase of the suspension. Page 5242 Body Control Module(BCM) C2 Part 2 Page 12287 networks, and will not require an upgrade in connection with the cellular industry's transition to the digital network.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 9402 Page 6886 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 4316 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 12917 ^ Pay the dealer the regular retail price (no discounts are available) for one of the following 1-year, non-refundable OnStar(R) Analog-to-Digital Transition (ADT) Service Subscription Plans: ^ 1-year Safe & Sound Subscription: $199 ($289 in Canada) ^ 1-year Directions & Connections Subscription: $399 ($579 in Canada) ^ Pay the dealer the applicable state and local sales taxes on the subscription: ^ U.S. Dealers: Taxes only apply in these states: CT, DC, FL, HI, ND, NJ, NM, NY, SC, SD, TX, and WV ^ Canadian Dealers: All applicable taxes ^ Pay the dealer a one-time charge of $15 for the upgrade: ^ U.S. Dealers: Do not collect taxes on the $15 ^ Canadian Dealers: Collect all applicable taxes on the $15 Note: Dealers should NOT remit OnStar(R) ADT-related taxes to their taxing authority as OnStar(R) is responsible for tax remittance.

The subscription may not be applied to another person's vehicle. Important: This is a customer satisfaction measure that would usually occur several months after an upgrade. It is not intended to be leveraged as part of a new/used vehicle purchase or lease transaction. ^ The $15 charge is not refundable. ^ Dealer ADT kit orders are VIN specific. Dealer kit orders require a VIN and must be exchanged with the OnStar(R) unit in the vehicle with that VIN. Proper activation and enrollment depends on this step. ^ You must put the actual miles on the Repair Order. Do not estimate. ^ Customers will receive a Hands-Free Calling number once the digital hardware is installed and configured. ^ Any nametags that were stored in the old system will need to be re-set by the subscriber once the new hardware is installed. ^ Customers are responsible for the charges described above regardless of whether their vehicle is in or out of the New Vehicle Warranty period. In addition, customers should not be charged labor costs. Dealers can charge GM the labor for the upgrade as specified at the end of this bulletin using the listed labor operation. ^ Vehicles eligible for an OnStar(R) hardware upgrade are listed in this bulletin. Vehicle upgradeability can also be determined by typing the VIN into the field entitled "Determine VIN Hardware Functionality" on the OnStar(R) Online Enrollment website, located in the sales or service workbench tab of GM GlobalConnect. Canadian Dealers can use a similar tool that is available within InfoNET. ^ Access to the sales and/or service workbench in the GM GlobalConnect website can be granted by the dealership's Partner Security Coordinator (PSC).

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-05-23-001A (Section 05 - Brakes). This bulletin is being issued to update General Motors position on correcting brake rotor lateral runout (Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 00-05-22-002B for additional brake rotor service procedures). Certain conditions may apply to individual vehicles regarding specific repairs. Refer to those specific repairs in applicable service bulletins. Make sure other possible sources of brake pulsation, such as ABS pedal feedback, have been addressed before checking rotor runout. Anytime a new or refinished rotor is installed on a vehicle, the rotor must have .050 mm (.002 in) or less of lateral runout. This specification is important to prevent comebacks for brake pulsation. Until now, the only acceptable methods to correct brake rotor runout were to index or replace the rotor or to refinish the rotor using an on-vehicle brake lathe. GM has approved a new technology for the correction of lateral runout on new or refinished rotors. This new method is called Brake align(R)*. It will allow the technician to meet the .050 mm (.002 in) or less requirement for lateral runout by installing a specially selected, tapered correction plate between the rotor and the hub. The Brake Align(R) Correction system does NOT require the use of an on-vehicle brake lathe to correct for lateral runout. *We believe this source and their products to be reliable. There may be additional manufacturers of such products. General Motors does not endorse, indicate any preference for or assume any responsibility for the products from this firm or for any such items which may be available from other sources. The Brake Align(R) Starter Kit will include an ample supply of Correction Plates, in various correction sizes, that will cover most current GM passenger car applications. It will also include a Brake Align(R) tool kit containing a dial indicator and retaining washers along with other useful tools. Service Procedure Follow all the procedures referred to in Corporate Bulletin Number 00-05-22-002B. Dealers who have purchased the Brake Align(R) Starter Kit may use the following simplified runout correction procedure: The existing rotors must first be machined on an approved, well-maintained bench lathe to guarantee smooth, flat, and parallel surfaces. Should the rotors require replacement, please note that it is not necessary to machine new rotors. Make sure all the mating surfaces of the rotor and the hub are clean, using the J 42450-A wheel Hub Cleaning Kit. Mount the new or refinished rotor onto the vehicle hub using the retaining washers provided in the kit. Do not reinstall the caliper or wheel at this time. Tighten all the wheel nuts to the proper specification, using J 39544 Torque Socket or the equivalent. Fasten the dial indicator to the steering knuckle so that the indicator needle contacts the rotor friction surface approximately 12.7 mm (1/2 in) from the rotors outer edge. Rotate the rotor and observe the total lateral runout. Index the rotor on the hub to achieve the lowest amount of lateral runout. This will require removal and reassembly of the rotor until the lowest total lateral runout reading is obtained. If this reading is .050 mm (.002 in) or less, the assembled rotor is within specification. The brake system may be reassembled. If total lateral runout is greater than .050 mm (.002 in), proceed with determining the correct Brake Align(R) Correction as follows: Rotate the rotor to locate the lowest dial indicator reading and set the dial to zero. Rotate the rotor to determine and locate the highest amount of lateral runout. Page 10825 Page 7368 Page 9024 Page 6630 Page 788 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 1104 4. Gently pull the cable and the terminal (2) out of the back of the connector. 5. Re-form the locking device if you are going to reuse the terminal (1). 6. To repair the terminal, refer to Terminal Repair. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. Slip the cable seal away from the terminal. 2. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 3. Slip a new cable seal onto the wire. 4. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 5. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 6. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. 7. Slide the cable seal toward the terminal. 8. Crimp the cable seal and the insulation. 9. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply grease to the connector. REINSTALLING TERMINAL 1. In order to reuse a terminal or lead assembly. Refer to Wiring Repairs . 2. Ensure that the cable seal is kept on the terminal side of the splice. 3. Insert the lead from the back until it catches. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Pull to Seat Connectors PULL TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should be replaced. Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors: 1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into the front of the connector body. 5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal (1) out the front of the connector body (3). OnStar(R) - Loss of GPS Signal/Hands Free Issues Emergency Contact Module: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Loss of GPS Signal/Hands Free Issues Bulletin No.: 02-08-46-007C Date: November 19, 2007 INFORMATION Subject: Information on OnStar(R) System - Possible Loss of GPS Signal, Hands-Free Calling Minutes Expire Prematurely and/or Inability to Add Hands-Free Calling Minutes Models: 2001-2008 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn) 2003-2008 HUMMER H2 2006-2008 HUMMER H3 2005-2008 Saab 9-7X with OnStar(R) System (RPO UE1) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2008 model year, warranty information and to provide GPS signal recovery steps (under Dealer Action heading) to do PRIOR to determining if the VIU/VCIM needs replacement. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-007B (Section 08 - Body & Accessories). If the vehicle currently has analog-upgradable OnStar(R) hardware, then the customer should be made aware of the digital upgrade program per the latest version of Service Bulletin # 05-08-46-006. Any analog OnStar system that is not upgraded prior to the end of 2007 will be deactivated due to the upcoming phase-out of the analog cellular network in the U.S. and Canada. If the vehicle has recently been upgraded or has had a service replacement unit installed, this bulletin may not be applicable. Certain 2001-2008 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) may exhibit a condition with the Global Positioning System (GPS) that causes inaccuracies in the GPS clock. The GPS system is internal to the OnStar(R) Vehicle Interface Unit (VIU) or the Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM). This inaccuracy can result in a symptom where the OnStar(R) Call Center is unable to obtain an accurate GPS signal, hands-Free Calling minutes expire prematurely and/or the inability to add Hands-Free calling minutes. Customer Notification OnStar(R) will notify the customer by mail with instructions to contact their dealership service department. Dealer Action Not all vehicles will require VIU/VCIM replacement. The GPS signal in some vehicles may be recoverable. To determine if the signal is recoverable, simply connect the Tech2(R) and using the GPS information data display option, observe the GPS date and time. If the date/time stamps are equal to a date approximately 19 years in the future, the GPS clock has exceeded its capacity and the VIU/VCIM will need to be replaced. If the date/time stamp is in the past or near future, the GPS clock has simply generated an inaccurate value and may be recoverable by performing the following power-up reset. To initiate a power-up reset, battery voltage (batt. +) must be removed from the VIU/VCIM. The preferred methods, in order, of initiating the reset are outlined below. Remove the fuse that supplies Battery positive (Batt. +) voltage to the module (refer to the applicable Service Information schematics for the appropriate fuse). The next preferred method is to remove the connector to the OnStar(R) unit that Batt + is contained. The least preferable method is to remove the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. This will not only initiate the power-up reset, but it may also result in the loss of radio presets and other stored personalization information/settings in other modules as well. After initiating the power-up reset, the GPS data will be set to the defaulted date and time and will require an acquisition of the GPS signal in order to gain the proper date and time. Acquiring the GPS signal requires running the vehicle in an open/unobstructed view of the sky. First, contact OnStar(R) Technical Support by pressing the blue button. Allow the OnStar(R) Technical Advisor to activate the GPS recovery process. This should take approximately 10 minutes. Continue to Page 13158 3.

The table explains the numbering system. Electrical Symbols Page 9693 Alignment: Service and Repair Wheel Alignment Procedures Measuring Wheel Alignment 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 in order to determine if the vehicle has a tire lead problem. Before performing any adjustment affecting wheel alignment, perform the following inspections and adjustments in order to ensure correct alignment readings: ^ Inspect the tires for the proper inflation and irregular tire wear. Refer to Tire Inflation Pressure Specifications and Tire Diagnosis - Irregular or Premature Wear. ^ Inspect the runout of the wheels and the tires. ^ Inspect the wheel bearings for backlash and excessive play. ^ Inspect the ball joints and tie rod ends for looseness or wear. ^ Inspect the control arms and stabilizer shaft for looseness or wear. ^ Inspect the steering gear for looseness at the frame. ^ Inspect the struts/shock absorbers for wear, leaks, and any noticeable noises. ^ Inspect the vehicle trim height. ^ Inspect the steering wheel for excessive drag or poor return due to stiff or rusted linkage or suspension components. ^ Inspect the fuel level. The fuel tank should be full or the vehicle should have a compensating load added. Give consideration to excess loads, such as tool boxes, sample cases, etc. If normally carried in the vehicle, these items should remain in the vehicle during alignment adjustments. Give consideration also to the condition of the equipment being used for the alignment. Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions. Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide range of alignment settings. However, if the setting exceeds the service allowable specifications, correct the alignment to the service preferred specifications. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications. Perform the following steps in order to measure the front and rear alignment angles: 1. Install the alignment equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions. 2. Jounce the front and the rear bumpers 3 times prior to checking the wheel alignment. 3. Measure the alignment angles and record the readings. Important: When performing adjustments to vehicles requiring a 4-wheel alignment, set the rear wheel alignment angles first in order to obtain proper front alignment angles. 4. Adjust alignment angles to vehicle specification, if necessary. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications. Front Camber Adjustment 1. Reach around the tire, using the appropriate extension and socket. Specifications Ball Joint: Specifications Ball Joint Wear Limit Does the dial indicator measure greater than the specificied value. .............................................................................................................................................................. ......................................... 3.18 mm (0.125 in) Page 103 REPAIRING CONNECTOR TERMINALS TOOLS REQUIRED J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Use the following repair procedures in order to repair the following: Push to Seat terminals - Pull to Seat terminals Some terminals do not require all of the steps shown.

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.

Abbreviations And Meanings ABBREVIATIONS AND MEANINGS Page 5718 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

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.

Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 13367 3. Position the impact bar bracket on the rail and clamp in place. 4. Plug weld accordingly. 5. Clean and prepare all of the welded surfaces. 6. Install all of the related panels and components. 7.

Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3. Use the proper pick or removal tool (1) in order to release the terminal. Page 4638 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks.

Repeat this procedure for the other locking tab. 4. Once the front 2 locks are unlocked, lift the front of the dress cover and pull it forward. Page 8876 Page 4378 Crankshaft Position Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 11394 5. If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 12774 OnStar(R) Microphone The OnStar(R), or cellular microphone, can be a part of the rearview mirror assembly, or on some vehicle lines, a separate, stand alone unit. In either case, the VCIM supplies approximately 10 volts to the microphone on the cellular microphone signal circuit, and voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM over the same circuit. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the microphone. Cellular and GPS Antennas The vehicle will be equipped with one of the following types of antennas: ^ Separate, stand-alone cellular and navigation (GPS) antennas. ^ A combination cellular and navigation (GPS) antenna, which brings the functions of both into a single part. ^ A cellular, GPS, and digital radio receiver (DRR) antenna, which also incorporates the functionality of the DRR satellite antenna (XM). The cellular antenna is the component that allows the OnStar(R) system to send and receive data using electromagnetic waves by means of cellular technology. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The antenna is connected at the base to a coax cable that plugs directly into the VCIM. The cable also provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna. The OnStar(R) Call Center also has the capability of communicating with the vehicle during an OnStar(R) call to retrieve the latest GPS location and transmit it to the OnStar(R) Call Center. A history location of the last recorded position of the vehicle is stored in the module and marked as aged, for as long as the module power is not removed. Actual GPS location may take up to 10 minutes to register in the event of a loss of power. Audio System Interface When the OnStar(R) requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to mute all radio functions and transmit OnStar(R) originated audio. The OnStar(R) audio is transmitted to the vehicle audio system by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle receives a call with the radio ON. On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar(R) system is active to aid in reducing interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return to its previous setting. OnStar(R) Steering Wheel Controls Some vehicles may have a button on the steering wheel, that when pushed can engage the OnStar(R) system. The button may be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through it. By engaging the OnStar(R) system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of voice commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the customer. If the information is not available for reference, at any command prompt, the user can say "HELP" and the VCIM will return an audible list of available commands. The steering wheel controls consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a resistor network. The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance value. When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network. This produces a specific voltage value unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by the radio or the body control module (BCM). OnStar(R) Power Moding (DRX or Sleep Cycle) The OnStar(R) system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while the ignition is in the OFF position and retained accessory power (RAP) mode has ended. A green status LED on the OnStar(R) keypad normally indicates an active OnStar(R) account. The OnStar(R) system will stay powered up after ignition off for an extended time in order to allow for remote services like door unlock, horn honk, light flash, etcetera to take place as requested by the customer. Power cycle (also referred to as DRX) times vary depending on the generation of the OnStar(R) system. Technicians may identify the OnStar(R) system generation by using a Tech 2 and following this menu path: (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by accessing www.onstarenrollment.com All Generation 6 digital systems are powered up continuously for 48 hours from ignition OFF. After 48 hours, the Generation 6 systems will enter a 9 minute OFF, 1 minute ON power cycle for an additional 72 hours. At the beginning and end of the 1 minute ON stage, you may or may not experience a short spike of current at the beginning and at the end. This allows for calls from OnStar to be received by the system. After 120 hours from ignition OFF, Locations Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Locations Automatic Transmission Electronic Component Views Electronic Components Electronic Components 13 - TFP Manual Valve Position Switch Assembly 46 - Input Speed Sensor 62 - Output Speed Sensor 305 - 1-2 and 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valves 305 - 1-2 and 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valves 312 Pressure Control Solenoid 335 - TCC Control PWM Solenoid Page 3144 Important: Ensure that the EN 45680-862 set gage ring surfaces are clean. 6.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 2248 Inflatable Restraint Side Impact Sensor - Right (With RPO Code AY0) Page 9358 4.

Abbreviations And Meanings ABBREVIATIONS AND MEANINGS Testing and Inspection Main Relay (Computer/Fuel System): Testing and Inspection POWERTRAIN RELAY DIAGNOSIS CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The powertrain relay is a normally open relay. The relay armature is held in the open position by spring tension. Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the relay coil and the armature contact at all times. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies the ground path to the relay coil control circuit, via an internal integrated circuit called an output driver module (ODM). When the PCM commands the relay ON, the relay coil creates an electromagnetic field. This electromagnetic field overcomes the spring tension and pulls the armature contact into the stationary contact of the relay load circuit. The closing of the relay contacts allows current to flow from the battery to the following fuses and relay. The ETC FUSE - The EMISSION FUSE - The A/C CLUTCH RELAY When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, power is interrupted to the output driver module in the PCM, and the relay electromagnetic field collapses. This action allows the spring tension pulling on the armature to separate from the relay load circuit contact, which interrupts current flow to the fuses and relay. If the powertrain relay fails to close the engine will crank, but may or may not run. The class II communications will be available with the use of a scan tool. The powertrain relay system diagnosis table assumes that the vehicle battery is fully charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test in Starting and Charging. See: Starting and Charging/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Battery Inspection/Test TEST Page 363 If you are unsure who the PSC is, check with the Sales Manager. General Information 1. The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear, or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have a no power/no communication condition. 2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com. 3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle. Note: If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module. 4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original analog production or digital upgrade. 5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required for a new module replacement. Do not discard. 6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. Page 13386 6.

Pressing the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) tool in the release cavity of the terminal you are removing, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used. TERMINAL REPAIR PROCEDURE Use the appropriate terminal and crimper in the J-38125 in order to replace the terminal. Weather Pack Connectors WEATHER PACK CONNECTORS The following is the proper procedure for the repair of Weather Pack(R) Connectors. 1. Separate the connector halves (1). 2. Open the secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the connector (1). 3. Grasp the wire and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the wire in this position. 4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder (1). 5. Gently pull on the wire to remove the terminal through the back of the connector (2). IMPORTANT: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector. 6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary. 7. Reform the lock tang (2) and reset terminal in connector body. 8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves. 9. Verify that circuit is complete and working satisfactorily. 10. Perform system check. Page 10862 Impact Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this OnStar(R) - Incorrect GPS Position Reported During Call Emergency Contact Module: Customer Interest OnStar(R) - Incorrect GPS Position Reported During Call Bulletin No.: 02-08-46-006C Date: January 08, 2008 INFORMATION Subject: Incorrect OnStar(R) Global Positioning System (GPS) Location Reported During OnStar(R) Call Models: 2000-2008 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2008 HUMMER H2 2006-2008 HUMMER H3 2005-2008 Saab 9-7X with OnStar(R) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-006B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R) will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected. It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure. In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R) module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery. The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes. After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position. If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge. Warranty Information (excluding Saab US Models) For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table. Warranty Information (Saab US Models) Page 7341 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 2212 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs Page 6408 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 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. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 1003 Page 11632 1.

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 13173 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 3049 2. Place the AT in Park (P) or the MT in the lowest gear (1st). 3. Securely attach the vehicle being towed to the tow vehicle. Caution: Shifting the transfer case to Neutral can cause the vehicle to roll, even if the transmission is in park (automatic) or 1st gear (manual), and may cause personal injury. 4. If equipped, place the transfer case shift lever in Neutral (N). Note: Use extra care whenever towing another vehicle. Do not exceed the towing vehicle's gross combination weight (GCW) by adding the weight of the dinghy towed vehicle or vehicle damage may result. 5. When the vehicle being towed is firmly attached to the tow vehicle, release the parking brake. 6. The Owner's Manual specifies the appropriate ignition key position to ensure that the steering is unlocked to allow the front wheels to follow the tow vehicle. Rear Wheel Drive Light Duty Trucks Important: ^ Dust or dirt can enter the back of the transmission through the opening created by the removal of the slip yoke from the transmission if proper protection is not provided. ^ Verify that the transmission fluid is at the proper level before driving the truck. Rear wheel drive vehicles, equipped with AT or MT, should NOT be dinghy towed. These transmissions have no provisions for internal lubrication while being towed. In order to properly tow these vehicles, place the vehicle on a platform trailer with all four tires off the ground. Avoid towing the vehicle with all four tires on the ground. In rare instances when it is unavoidable that a rear wheel drive vehicle be dinghy towed, the propeller shaft to axle yoke orientation should be marked and the propeller shaft removed. Refer to the applicable Service Manual for procedures on propeller shaft removal/installation. Transfer Case Identification Page 9015 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 4020 Page 372 Diagnostic Trouble Codes DTC U1000 and U1255 Circuit/System Description Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with it, the DTC will only be reported once. The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them: Page 9438 Application Table Page 5253 Body Control System Diagram 5 Locations: The locations for the Connectors, Grounds, Splices, and Grommets shown within these diagrams can be found via their numbers at Vehicle Locations. See: Locations Page 5082 REPAIR PROCEDURE The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1.

Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 4143 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 13730 Apply Super Lube to the latch detent lever. 1.

Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems. Page 5997 This service data uses various symbols in order to describe different service operations. Page 3602 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 5825 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Micro .64 Connectors MICRO.64 CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro 64 connectors. 1. Locate the lever lock on the wire dress cover. While depressing the lock, pull the lever over and past the lock. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component. 3. Locate the dress cover locking tabs at the front of the connector. Using a small flat-blade tool push down on one of the locking tabs and pull the cover up until the dress cover releases.

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

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes.

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. 3. The installation of a drive belt that is two wide or two narrow will cause wear on the drive belt. The drive belt ribs should match all of the grooves on all of the pulleys. 4. This inspection is to verify the drive belt 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. Drive Belt Falls Off Drive Belt Falls Off 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. Test Description Page 8541 10.

Fill the master cylinder to the proper level. Rear Disc Brake Hardware Replacement- Rear Removal Procedure Caution: Refer to Brake Dust Caution in Service Precautions. 1. Inspect the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir. 2. If the brake fluid level is midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable level, then no brake fluid needs to be removed from the reservoir before proceeding. If the brake fluid level is higher than midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable level, then remove brake fluid to the midway point before proceeding. 3. Raise and support the vehicle. 4. Using a C-clamp installed to the center of the outer brake pad and the back of the caliper, slowly compress the caliper piston into its bore just enough to remove the caliper from the mounting bracket. 5. Remove the 2 brake caliper guide pin bolts. Notice: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from its mount and the hydraulic flexible brake hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak. 6. Remove the brake caliper from the brake caliper mounting bracket. 7. Remove the brake pads (1) from the brake caliper mounting bracket (3). 8. Remove the brake pad retainers (2) from the brake caliper mounting bracket (3). Description and Operation Fuel Pump Pickup Filter: Description and Operation FUEL STRAINER The fuel strainer attaches to the lower end of the fuel sender.

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

These numbers, the 10-digit station identification and the 11-digit electronic serial number, are used by the National Cellular Network and OnStar to identify the specific vehicle. Because these numbers are tied to the vehicle identification number of the vehicle, you must never exchange these parts with those of another vehicle. 1. Remove the right closeout panel. 2. Disconnect the communication interface module wire harness and antenna connectors. 3. Remove the communication interface module bolts. 4. Remove the communication interface module. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Page 10428 2. Locate the nose piece locking tabs that are positioned on the side of the connector nose piece. The connector nose piece acts as a terminal positive assurance (TPA) and may be referred to as such. 3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push in one of the locking tabs while gently pulling on the same side of the nose piece. 4. Repeat the procedure for the other locking tab and remove the nose piece. 5. Remove the wire dress cover. The following is a general procedure for wire dress cover removal. Use this procedure as a guide, some dress cover removal procedures may vary. 6. Use fingers to squeeze the 2 locking legs of the cover. Page 7436 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs Page 4506 Page 1493 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 1043 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Page 11074 2.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Specifications Compression Check: Specifications ^ The lowest reading cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest. ^ No cylinder reading should be less than 689 kPa (100 psi). Page 7290 Assistance for all GM fleet customers using GM STC products and services is provided on the Internet via www.gmcommontraining.com using the "Contact Us" button on the site and/or the GM Common Training Help Desk at 1-888-748-2687.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 4589 Page 4985 Page 8530 1.

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

You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 6661 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 5900 Steps 1-12 Power Mode Mismatch POWER MODE MISMATCH CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION Normal vehicle serial data communications and the control modules operations will not begin until the system power mode has been identified.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-006B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R) will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected. It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure. In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R) module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery. The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes. After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position. If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge. Warranty Information (excluding Saab US Models) For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.

Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 6259 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 1982 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs Page 5842 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 4816 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Page 5545 1.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 10701 1.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 302 10.4.

The module uses default values for all parameters received on the serial data circuits. The module inhibits the setting of all other communication DTCs. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction. Circuit/System Verification Refer to Data Link References to determine which serial data system is used for a specific module. This DTC cannot be retrieved with a current status. Diagnosis is accomplished using the following symptom procedures: Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device in SI. OR Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Low Speed GMLAN Device in SI. DTC U0140 - U0184 Circuit Description Modules connected to the GMLAN serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. In addition to this, Node Alive messages are transmitted by each module on the GMLAN serial data circuit. When the module detects one of the following conditions on the GMLAN serial data circuit, a DTC will set. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. In addition to this, Node Alive messages are transmitted by each module on the GMLAN serial data circuit.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Page 4824 PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS Prevailing torque fasteners create a thread interface between the fastener and the fastener counterpart in order to prevent the fastener from loosening. ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 5474 Page 5093 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 12541 Page 7308 Page 3412 19. Remove the oil nozzle and bolt. 20.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 5480 Powertrain Control Module (PCM) C2 Part 2 Page 2274 1.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 6071 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Engine, A/T - Shift/Driveability Concerns/MIL ON Air Filter Element: All Technical Service Bulletins Engine, A/T - Shift/Driveability Concerns/MIL ON Bulletin No.: 04-07-30-013B Date: February 01, 2007 INFORMATION Subject: Automatic Transmission Shift, Engine Driveability Concerns or Service Engine Soon (SES) Light On as a Result of the Use of an Excessively/Over-Oiled Aftermarket, Reusable Air Filter Models: 2007 and Prior GM Cars and Light Duty Trucks 2007 and Prior Saturn Models 2003-2007 HUMMER H2 2006-2007 HUMMER H3 2005-2007 Saab 9-7X Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add models and model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-07-30-013A (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). The use of an excessively/over-oiled aftermarket, reusable air filter may result in: Service Engine Soon (SES) light on Transmission shift concerns, slipping and damaged clutch(es) or band(s) Engine driveability concerns, poor acceleration from a stop, limited engine RPM range The oil that is used on these air filter elements may be transferred onto the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor causing contamination of the sensor. As a result, the Grams per Second (GPS) signal from the MAF may be low and any or all of the concerns listed above may occur. When servicing a vehicle with any of these concerns, be sure to check for the presence of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter. The MAF, GPS reading should be compared to a like vehicle with an OEM air box and filter under the same driving conditions to verify the concern. The use of an aftermarket reusable air filter DOES NOT void the vehicle's warranty. If an aftermarket reusable air filter is used, technicians should inspect the MAF sensor element and the air induction hose for contamination of oil prior to making warranty repairs. Transmission or engine driveability concerns (related to the MAF sensor being contaminated with oil) that are the result of the use of an aftermarket reusable, excessively/over-oiled air filter are not considered to be warrantable repair items. Page 2139 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 2092 2.

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.

Inspection Procedure Using the exploded views in this bulletin, inspect each bore for freedom of valve(s) movement and evidence of debris. Pay particular attention to those valves related to the customer's concern. Verify movement of the valves in their normal installed position. Valves may become restricted during removal or installation. This is normal due to small tolerances between the valves and bores. If a valve is restricted and cannot be corrected by cleaning valve and bore, then replace valve body. Describe restricted valve on repair order. Be sure all solenoids are installed with the electrical connectors facing the non-machined (cast) side of the valve body; otherwise, the solenoids will bind against the transmission case as the valve body bolts are tightened and damage may occur. Disassembly/Reassembly If a valve is restricted by a metal burr from machining that bore, remove valve and burr, then inspect movement in the valve's normal position. If no other debris or restrictions are found, then reassemble valve body and install in the transmission. If the valve body has been contaminated with debris from another transmission component failure, then disassemble all bores for complete cleaning of all valve body components. If possible keep individual bore parts separated for ease of reassembly. Use the following illustrations in this bulletin for a Page 2046 2.

The side impact modules and the roof rail modules contain a housing, inflatable air bag, initiating device, and a canister of gas generating material. The initiator is part of the side impact and roof rail module deployment loop. When a side impact of sufficient force occurs the SIS detects the impact and sends a signal to the SDM. The SDM compares the signal received from the SIS to a value stored in memory. When the generated signal exceeds the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the side deployment loop deploying the side and the roof rail air bags. The SDM, side impact modules, roof rail modules and the connecting wires makeup the side deployment loops. The SDM continuously monitors the deployment loops for malfunctions and turns the AIR BAG indicator ON if a fault is present. Each side impact and roof rail module is equipped with a shorting bar located on the connector of the module. The shorting bar shorts the side impact and roof rail modules deployment loop circuitry to prevent unwanted deployment of the air bag when servicing the inflator module. Page 1838 Equivalents - Decimal And Metric Part 2 Arrows and Symbols ARROWS AND SYMBOLS Page 2937 service operation.

Remove the HO2S. Page 5716 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 5721 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3.

Abbreviations And Meanings ABBREVIATIONS AND MEANINGS Steering - Front End Clunk/Rattle/Knock On Bumps Steering Shaft: All Technical Service Bulletins Steering - Front End Clunk/Rattle/Knock On Bumps TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 06-02-32-007G Date: April 05, 2010 Subject: Clunk, Knock or Rattle Noise From Front of Vehicle While Driving or Turning Over Bumps at Low Speeds (Diagnose Noise and Perform Outlined Repair) Models: 2004-2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 2007-2010 Saturn Aura Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Parts Information for the bolt. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-02-32-007F (Section 02 - Steering). Condition 1 Some customers may comment on a clunk noise heard and felt in the steering wheel while driving at slow speeds and turning. The clunk noise may appear to be directly in front of the driver. Hitting a bump while turning can produce the clunk noise. Sometimes the noise may be duplicated when the vehicle is sitting still and the steering wheel is turned 90 degrees in either direction before initially centering the steering wheel. Cause 1 The clunk noise may be caused by a slip/stick condition between the inner and outer components of the intermediate shaft. Important Revised design intermediate shafts went into production in the 2009 model year and are the only design currently available through GMSPO since approximately September 2008. Since any model year vehicle could have had a second design shaft installed, it is critical to identify it before proceeding. The revised design intermediate shafts will NOT tolerate any type of lubricant per the following instructions. Adding lube to the second design shafts will cause a clunk noise in a very short period of time. Use the following pictures to identify which design of shaft you are servicing.

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

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 1287 Power Trunk / Liftgate Lock Switch: Service and Repair REAR COMPARTMENT LID SWITCH REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Powertrain mounts must be tightened in sequence. 1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting. 2. Loosen the front transmission mount through bolt. Do not remove. 3. Loosen the rear transmission mount through bolt. Do not remove. 4. Position two floor jacks with wood blocks under the engine and transmission to support the powertrain assembly. Page 625 With a Test Lamp IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits. 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 4574 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

This bulletin should be read by all parties involved in KeyCode activity, including dealer operator, partner security coordinator, sales, service and parts departments. A copy of this bulletin should be printed and maintained in the parts department for use as a reference. Important U.S. dealers should refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 10-00-89-009. Where Are Key Codes Located? General Motors provides access to KeyCodes through three sources when a vehicle is delivered to a dealer. Vehicle KeyCodes are located on the original vehicle invoice to the dealership. There is a small white bar coded tag sent with most new vehicles that also has the key code printed on it. Dealerships should make a practice of comparing the tag's keycode numbers to the keycode listed on the invoice. Any discrepancy should be reported immediately to the GM of Canada Key Code Inquiry Desk. Remember to remove the key tag prior to showing vehicles to potential customers. The third source for Key codes is through the GM KeyCode Look-Up feature within the OEConnection D2DLink application. KeyCode Look-Up currently goes back 17 previous model years from the current model year. When a vehicle is received by the dealership, care should be taken to safeguard the original vehicle invoice and KeyCode tag provided with the vehicle. Potential customers should not have access to the invoice or this KeyCode tag prior to the sale being completed. After a sale has been completed, the KeyCode information belongs to the customer and General Motors. Tip Only the original invoice contains key code information, a re-printed invoice does not. GM KeyCode Look-Up Application for GM of Canada Dealers All dealers should review the General Motors of Canada KeyCode Look-Up Policies and Procedures (Service Policy & Procedures Manual Section 3.1.6 "Replacement of VIN plates & keys"). Please note that the KeyCode Access site is restricted. Only authorized users should be using this application. Please see your Parts Manager for site authorized users. KeyCode Look-Up currently goes back 17 years from current model year. Important notes about security: - Users may not access the system from multiple computers simultaneously. - Users may only request one KeyCode at a time. - KeyCode information will only be available on the screen for 2 minutes. - Each user is personally responsible for maintaining and protecting their password. - Never share your password with others. - User Id's are suspended after 6 consecutive failed attempts. - User Id's are disabled if not used for 90 days. - Processes must be in place for regular dealership reviews. - The Parts Manager (or assigned management) must have processes in place for employee termination or life change events. Upon termination individuals access must be turned off immediately and access should be re-evaluated upon any position changes within the dealership. - If you think your password or ID security has been breached, contact Dealer Systems Support at 1-800-265-0573. Page 9533 C319 Body Harness to Left Inflatable Restraint Side Impact Module Jumper Harness (With RPO Code AY0) C320 Body Harness to Right Inflatable Restraint Side Impact Module Jumper Harness (With RPO Code AY0) Page 190 Involved are certain vehicles within the VIN breakpoints shown above. PARTS INFORMATION -- Saab US Only Customer Notification General Motors will notify customers of this special coverage on their vehicles (see copy of typical customer letter shown in this bulletin - actual divisional letter may vary slightly). Page 12664 Page 7666 Shift Solenoid: Diagrams Shift Lock Control Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control Connector End Views Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control Solenoid Page 6841 Steps 1 - 5 Page 12769 If you are unsure who the PSC is, check with the Sales Manager. General Information 1. The first step is to verify if the OnStar(R) account is active or not. This can be done by pressing the blue OnStar(R) button and connecting to the OnStar(R) call center. Analog only accounts are no longer active. Only digital upgraded accounts will be active. On Gen 6 digital systems, a clear, or "dark" LED may indicate that the OnStar(R) system has been deactivated or may possibly have a no power/no communication condition. 2. If the account isn't active, the next step is to verify what version of OnStar(R) module is in the vehicle. This can be done via the Tech 2 (Body>VCIM>Module ID Information>Module Information 2) or by using www.onstarenrollment.com. 3. A Generation 5 or older analog module can be diagnosed by following the original electronic Service Information developed for the model year of the vehicle. Note: If the customer has an old analog module, the vehicle can be repaired by replacing the module, but the customer cannot have an active account without upgrading to a digital module. 4. Modules, antennas, brackets, and other equipment are in the same location, whether original analog production or digital upgrade. 5. An upgraded vehicle may also have a new vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) bracket. If it does, order the new bracket when replacing the bracket. Don't order the original bracket. The kit may also include a small wiring jumper cable. If it does, this jumper will be required for a new module replacement. Do not discard. 6. After replacing the VCIM, it is essential to configure the new OnStar(R) system. Failure to configure the system will result in an additional customer visit for repair. DO NOT press and hold the white dot or phone button on the keypad as it will not reset this version of the OnStar(R) system and may result in a DTC being set. Use of the TIS2WEB and SPS applications, along with the Tech2(R), are required in order to perform the VCIM configuration and setup procedure for this vehicle. The configuration and set-up procedure is now a two-step process which enables an automated activation by the OnStar(R) Center, without a button press by the technician to the OnStar(R) Call Center. 06-08-111-004B - BULLETIN CANCELLATION NOTIFICATION Body Emblem: Technical Service Bulletins 06-08-111-004B - BULLETIN CANCELLATION NOTIFICATION TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 06-08-111-004B Date: September 25, 2009 Subject: Information on Discoloration, Blistering, Peeling or Erosion of Various Exterior Emblems Including Chevy Bowtie (Bulletin Cancelled) Models: 2009 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2009 HUMMER H2 2006-2009 HUMMER H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X Supercede: This bulletin is being cancelled.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-06-01-010 (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System). Certain 2004-2008 General Motors products may be equipped with a new style of catalytic converter technically known as the close-coupled catalytic converter providing quick catalyst warm-up resulting in lower tail pipe emissions earlier in the vehicle operating cycle. If an engine breakdown or non-function were to occur (such as broken intake/exhaust valve or piston) debris may be deposited in the converter through engine exhaust ports. If the engine is non-functioning due to a severe overheat event damage to the ceramic "brick" internal to the catalytic converter may occur. This may result in ceramic debris being drawn into the engine through the cylinder head exhaust ports. If a replacement engine is installed in either of these instances the replacement engine may fail due to the debris being introduced into the combustion chambers when started. When replacing an engine for a breakdown or non-function an inspection of the catalytic converters and ALL transferred components (such as exhaust/ intake manifolds) should be performed. Any debris found should be removed. In cases of engine failure due to severe overheat dealers should also inspect each catalytic converter for signs of melting or cracking of the ceramic "brick". If damage is observed the converter should be replaced. Disclaimer Page 10920 Inflatable Restraint Front End Sensor - Left Page 205 8.2.

Application Through a Hole in the HVAC Module - If neither of the two previous application methods are available, it may be necessary to drill a hole in the HVAC module. - Locate an area of the HVAC module between the blower motor and the evaporator core. Drill a 10 mm (3/8 in) hole in the HVAC module. Use caution to keep the drill clear of the evaporator core and the blower motor fan. - With the air distribution vents closed and the blower motor fan speed on HIGH, insert the applicator tool into the hole and spray the Cooling Coil Coating into the airstream toward the evaporator core. - Use a GM approved RTV sealant to plug the hole in the HVAC module. 9. After the Cooling Coil Coating application is complete, start and run the vehicle for approximately 10 minutes, with the compressor disabled, HVAC mode set to Recirculate/Max, heat set to full warm, blower motor fan speed on high, and one window open approximately 12 mm (1/2 in). This cures the Cooling Coil Coating onto the evaporator core surface. 10. While the engine is running, rinse the applicator tool with warm water to prolong the life of the tool. Be sure to spray warm water through the nozzle to rinse out any residual Cooling Coil Coating still in the capillary pick up tube, otherwise it will dry and clog the applicator tool. Also remove the small green valve from the bottle cap and rinse it thoroughly while rolling it between two fingers and then reinstall it. If this valve is clogged , the Cooling Coil Coating will not flow through the applicator tool. 11. Shut off the engine and enable the compressor again. 12. Verify proper HVAC system operation. 13. Remove the protective cover from inside the vehicle. 14. Remove the drain pan from underneath the vehicle. 15. Reinstall the cabin air filter if necessary. Page 994 Steps 8 - 14 Page 7795 Shift Solenoid: Locations 4T40-E/4T45-E Automatic Transmission Electronic Component Views Electronic Components Electronic Components 13 - TFP Manual Valve Position Switch Assembly 46 - Input Speed Sensor 62 - Output Speed Sensor 305 - 1-2 and 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valves 305 - 1-2 and 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valves 312 Pressure Control Solenoid 335 - TCC Control PWM Solenoid OnStar(R) - Incorrect GPS Position Reported During Call Emergency Contact Module: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Incorrect GPS Position Reported During Call Bulletin No.: 02-08-46-006C Date: January 08, 2008 INFORMATION Subject: Incorrect OnStar(R) Global Positioning System (GPS) Location Reported During OnStar(R) Call Models: 2000-2008 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2008 HUMMER H2 2006-2008 HUMMER H3 2005-2008 Saab 9-7X with OnStar(R) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-08-46-006B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). A small number of the above-mentioned vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the vehicle reports an inaccurate location to the OnStar(R) Call Center. This condition can only be identified via a button press to the OnStar(R) Call Center by the customer. Call Center personnel will be able to identify this inaccurate location condition. Customers will then be notified through the mail by OnStar(R) if their vehicle exhibits this condition. Once this condition has been identified OnStar(R) will instruct the customer to return to the dealership to have this condition corrected. It is not necessary to reconfigure the vehicle after the following procedure. In order to correct this condition you must cycle power to the OnStar(R) system. This can be done by either removing the fuses powering the OnStar(R) system or disconnecting the OnStar(R) module (VCIM) from the vehicle. As a last resort you can disconnect the vehicle's battery. The power needs to be removed from the system for approximately 15 minutes. After completing this procedure the vehicle should be taken to an area with an unobstructed view of the sky. The vehicle should be kept running for approximately 10 minutes to allow the vehicle to reacquire the global positioning system (GPS). Then contact the OnStar(R) Call Center via the blue OnStar(R) button and ask the advisor to verify the GPS position. If the OnStar(R) advisor still has an inaccurate GPS location refer to the Navigation Systems and Cellular Communications sub-sections in the Service Manual in order to diagnose and repair the concern. If the normal diagnostics lead to module replacement you will need to contact Technical Assistance (TAC) and choose the OnStar(R) prompt. GM OnStar(R) TAC will assist in the diagnosis and if appropriate order a replacement part. Replacement parts are usually shipped out within 24 hours and a pre-paid return package label will be included for returning the faulty part. By returning the faulty part you will avoid a significant non-return core charge. Warranty Information (excluding Saab US Models) For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 3299 Engine Oil Dip Stick - Dip Stick Tube: Service and Repair Oil Level Indicator and Tube Replacement Removal Procedure 1.

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 Page 9108 Page 14208 Trim Panel: Service and Repair Compartment Trim Panel Replacement - Rear Compartment Trim Panel Replacement - Rear Removal Procedure 1.

Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 2091 Crankshaft Position Sensor: Service and Repair Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Replacement CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Gently pull the cable and the terminal (2) out of the back of the connector. 5. Re-form the locking device if you are going to reuse the terminal (1). 6. To repair the terminal, refer to Terminal Repair. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. Slip the cable seal away from the terminal. 2. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible. 3. Slip a new cable seal onto the wire. 4. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 5. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 6. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. 7. Slide the cable seal toward the terminal. 8. Crimp the cable seal and the insulation. 9. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply grease to the connector. REINSTALLING TERMINAL 1. In order to reuse a terminal or lead assembly. Refer to Wiring Repairs . 2. Ensure that the cable seal is kept on the terminal side of the splice. 3. Insert the lead from the back until it catches. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Pull to Seat Connectors PULL TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should be replaced. Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors: 1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors. 3. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device. 4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into the front of the connector body. 5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal (1) out the front of the connector body (3). Page 4809 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Wheels - Chrome Wheel Staining/Pitting/Corrosion Wheels: All Technical Service Bulletins Wheels - Chrome Wheel Staining/Pitting/Corrosion INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 00-03-10-002F Date: April 21, 2011 Subject: Chemical Staining, Pitting, Corrosion and/or Spotted Appearance of Chromed Aluminum Wheels Models: 2012 and Prior GM Cars and Trucks Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years, suggest additional restorative products and add additional corrosion information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-03-10-002E (Section 03 - Suspension). Important You may give a copy of this bulletin to the customer. What is Chemical Staining of Chrome Wheels? Figure 1 Chemical staining in most cases results from acid based cleaners (refer to Figure 1 for an example). These stains are frequently milky, black, or greenish in appearance. They result from using cleaning solutions that contain acids on chrome wheels. Soap and water is usually sufficient to clean wheels. If the customer insists on using a wheel cleaner they should only use one that specifically states that it is safe for chromed wheels and does not contain anything in the following list. (Dealers should also survey any products they use during prep or normal cleaning of stock units for these chemicals.) - Ammonium Bifluoride (fluoride source for dissolution of chrome) - Hydrofluoric Acid (directly dissolves chrome) - Hydrochloric Acid (directly dissolves chrome) - Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonic Acid - Sulfamic Acid - Phosphoric Acid - Hydroxyacetic Acid Notice Many wheel cleaner instructions advise to take care to avoid contact with painted surfaces. Most customers think of painted surfaces as the fenders, quarter panels and other exterior sheet metal. Many vehicles have painted brake calipers. Acidic wheel cleaners may craze, crack, or discolor the paint on the brake calipers. Damage from wheel cleaners is not covered under the vehicle new car warranty. Soap and water applied with a soft brush is usually all that is required to clean the calipers. Whenever any wheel cleaner is used, it must be THOROUGHLY rinsed off of the wheel with clean, clear water. Special care must be taken to rinse under the hub cap, balance weights, wheel nuts, lug nut caps, between the wheel cladding and off the back side of the wheel. Wheels returned to the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) that exhibit damage from wheel cleaners most often have the damage around and under the wheel weight where the cleaner was incompletely flushed away.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 4651 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 510 ^ On 2002 Sevilles and DeVilles, the GPS jumper cable MUST be unclipped from the back seat cross brace, or unplugged from the VCIM first. DO NOT pull back on the mounting bracket until the GPS antenna jumper cable is unclipped from the back seat cross brace or unplugged from the VCIM. The short length of jumper cable does not allow the VCIM mounting bracket to be pulled back very far, and could lead to a break at the VCIM connector. ^ On 2000-2002 Bonnevilles and LeSabres and 2001-2002 Auroras you will need to follow these steps: 1.

There may not be any DTCs set when this condition occurs. Typically, this will only occur if the driver starts the engine, immediately places the shifter into D3 and accelerates (all within a couple seconds - as when someone is in a rush to get somewhere). If this sequence of events occurs at a slower pace, this concern will not occur. Due to the shifter release mechanism being on the front of the shifter, the shifter may easily be placed into D3 instead of D4 when rapidly pulling back on the shifter. As a result, some customers may not realize that the shifter was in D3 when this occurred. Cause The PCM may interpret the rapid placement into drive and enter transmission abuse management mode, which will limit the throttle position desired and actual angles to a maximum of 45%, even if the accelerator pedal is pushed to wide open throttle. Rather than coming out of this mode though, the PCM will stay in this mode until the ignition is cycled or until the shifter is moved to PARK, REVERSE or NEUTRAL and then back into D4. Correction Before reprogramming the PCM, verify the customer concern. Follow published diagnostics in SI. If not trouble is found, reprogram the PCM. A revised engine calibration has been developed to address this issue. Reprogram the PCM with an updated software calibration. This new service calibration is available on TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). As always, make sure your Tech 2(R) is updated with the latest software version.

Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 11896 5.

Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 7966 1. Cut the park lock cable adjuster and cable off at the location just before the end of the retaining barb. 2. Tie the inhibitor end of the new cable to the old cable in an overlapping fashion using zip ties or electrical tape. 3. Carefully use the old cable to route the new cable. If the cable becomes stuck, move the lower part of the cable toward the RH side of the vehicle while pulling the upper half gently. 4. The cable is routed between the HVAC plenum and the vehicle cowl. 5. Place the shift lever in P (Park). 6. Snap the control cable connector into the automatic transmission control. 7. Place the ignition key in the RUN position. Important: Do not insert the cable with the key in any other position. 8. Snap the control cable into the inhibitor housing until the snap lock is seated. 9. Turn the key to the LOCK position. 10. Snap the control cable end onto the shift park/lock lever pin. Important: Ensure that the park lock cable functions as designed. With the key in the OFF position, the shift lever should not be able to be Page 10554 3. Place a protective cover over the carpet below the evaporator core. 4. Remove the cabin air filter, if equipped, and cover the opening prior to applying the Cooling Coil Coating, as the product may clog the filter. If the cabin air filter appears to have little or no remaining life, suggest a replacement to your customer. 5. If the HVAC module has a blower motor cooling tube, be careful NOT TO SPRAY THE COOLING COIL COATING INTO THE BLOWER MOTOR COOLING TUBE. 6. Attach the Flexible Applicator Pressure Spray Tool (J-43810-20A) to a compressed air line operating at 586 kPa (85 psi) to 793 kPa (115 psi). 7. Shake the bottle of Cooling Coil Coating well. Screw the bottle onto the cap on the applicator tool's pick-up tube. Note The pick-up tube is designed for 120 ml (4 oz) and 240 ml (8 oz) bottles and should coil slightly in the bottom of a 120 ml (4 oz) bottle. 8. Use one of the following three methods to apply the Cooling Coil Coating. Important If the Pressure Applicator Spray Tool (J-43810-20A) is not available, the Cooling Coil Coating is also available in an aerosol can (P/N 12377951 (in Canada, 10953503)). Application Through Blower Motor Control Module Opening - Remove the blower motor control module (blower motor resistor). Refer to the applicable procedure in SI. - Clean any debris or foreign material from inside the HVAC module and on the evaporator core surface. - Apply the Cooling Coil Coating directly to the evaporator core through the blower motor blower motor control module (blower motor resistor) opening. - Use the flexible wand to direct the Cooling Coil Coating over the entire evaporator core and surrounding gasket surfaces. - When the application is complete, install the blower motor blower motor control module (blower motor control module). Application Through Blower Motor Opening - Remove the blower motor. Refer to the applicable blower motor removal procedure in SI. - Clean any debris or foreign material from inside the HVAC module and on the evaporator core surface. - Apply the Cooling Coil Coating directly to the evaporator core through the blower motor opening. - Use the flexible wand to direct the Cooling Coil Coating over the entire evaporator core and surrounding gasket surfaces. - When the application is complete, install the blower motor. Application Through a Hole in the HVAC Module - If neither of the two previous application methods are available, it may be necessary to drill a hole in the HVAC module. - Locate an area of the HVAC module between the blower motor and the evaporator core. Drill a 10 mm (3/8 in) hole in the HVAC module. Use caution to keep the drill clear of the evaporator core and the blower motor fan. - With the air distribution vents closed and the blower motor fan speed on HIGH, insert the applicator tool into the hole and spray the Cooling Coil Coating into the airstream toward the evaporator core. - Use a GM approved RTV sealant to plug the hole in the HVAC module. 9. After the Cooling Coil Coating application is complete, start and run the vehicle for approximately 10 minutes, with the compressor disabled, HVAC mode set to Recirculate/Max, heat set to full warm, blower motor fan speed on high, and one window open approximately 12 mm (1/2 in). This cures the Cooling Coil Coating onto the evaporator core surface. 10. While the engine is running, rinse the applicator tool with warm water to prolong the life of the tool. Be sure to spray warm water through the nozzle to rinse out any residual Cooling Coil Coating still in the capillary pick up tube, otherwise it will dry and clog the applicator tool. Also remove the small green valve from the bottle cap and rinse it thoroughly while rolling it between two fingers and then reinstall it. If this valve is clogged , the Cooling Coil Coating will not flow through the applicator tool. 11. Shut off the engine and enable the compressor again. 12. Verify proper HVAC system operation. 13. Remove the protective cover from inside the vehicle. 14. Remove the drain pan from underneath the vehicle. 15. Reinstall the cabin air filter if necessary. Page 6807 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 3815 Micro-Pack 100W Connectors MICRO-PACK 100W CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W connectors. These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 4227 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 4027 Body Control Module: Connector Views Body Control Module(BCM) C1 Part 1 Page 6647 5.

Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure.

Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Body - Creak/Groan When Opening/Closing Doors Rear Door Hinge: Customer Interest Body - Creak/Groan When Opening/Closing Doors File In Section: 08 - Body and Accessories Bulletin No.: 01-08-64-020C Date: October, 2004 TECHNICAL Subject: Creak Noise When Opening or Closing Doors (Apply Lubricant to Check Link) Models: 2001-2003 Chevrolet Malibu 2004-2005 Chevrolet Classic 2001-2004 Oldsmobile Alero 2001-2005 Pontiac Grand Am This bulletin is being revised to add the 2005 model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-08-64-020B (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). Condition Some customers may comment on a creak or squeak noise when opening or closing one or more doors. Cause This condition may be caused by the door check link spring saddle. Correction Important: To prevent overspray from landing on the door glass, make sure all windows are rolled up before applying the lubricant to the check link. Slide the check link grommet back and spray GM Lubriplate(R) Lubricant, P/N 89021668 (in Canada, use P/N 89021674), or equivalent, on the check link saddle using a "straw" type nozzle extension. The nozzle extension should be inserted slightly into the opening above the check link arm and sprayed toward the outside of the door. If the nozzle is inserted too far into the door, it will go past the check link spring saddle and the lubricant will miss its target. Move the nozzle back and forth while spraying to distribute the lubricant. Open and shut the door until the noise is gone. Reinstall the check link grommet in the door.

Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 3238 Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Falls Off Drive Belt Falls Off 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. Test Description The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. This inspection is to verify the condition of the drive belt. Damage may of occurred to the drive belt when the drive belt fell off. The drive belt may of been damaged, which caused the drive belt to fall off. Inspect the belt for cuts, tears, sections of ribs missing, or damaged belt plys. 4. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure of that pulley. Page 8685 20.

Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip.

Customer initiated Blue Button call, Emergency calls, and Automatic Crash Notification calls will also fail to establish a data connection with the OnStar(R) Call Center. Eventually, the customer's call will connect as a voice only line and the customer will be able to talk with an OnStar(R) advisor; however, the advisor will not get crucial customer data such as vehicle identification and location. Correction Dealers/retailers are to replace the OnStar(R) module (VCIM). Vehicles Involved Involved are certain 2002-2009 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R), and built within these VIN breakpoints: Note: Some model years/models have only one vehicle involved. Important Dealers/retailers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using GMVIS (dealers/retailers using WINS) or the Investigate Vehicle History link (dealers/retailers using GWM). Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be involved. For dealers/retailers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be provided to dealers/retailers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports. Dealers/retailers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles currently assigned. The listing may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any purpose other than follow-up necessary to complete this program is a violation of law in several states/provinces/countries.

Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity. Testing For Electrical Intermittents TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment. - Testing for Short to Ground - Testing for Continuity - Testing for a Short to Voltage If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the J 39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the J 39200. The J 39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected. IMPORTANT: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured. 1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the J 39200 to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the J 39200 to the V (AC) or V (DC) position. 3. Press the range button of the J 39200 in order to select the desired voltage range. 4. Press the MIN MAX button of the J 39200. The J 39200 displays 100 msRECORD and emits an audible tone (beep). IMPORTANT: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change. 5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions. 6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 Volt or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary. - If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 Volt an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist. Testing For Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS TOOLS REQUIRED - J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit - J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit - J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 10746 15. Connect the inflator module (1) to the adapter (2) on the SIR deployment harness (3). 16. Clear the area of people. IMPORTANT: The rapid expansion of gas involved with deploying an inflator module is very loud. Notify all the people in the immediate area that you intend to deploy the inflator module. - When the inflator module deploys, the deployment fixture may jump about 30 cm (1 ft) vertically. This is a normal reaction of the inflator module due to the force of the rapid expansion of gas inside the inflator module. - If you are deploying a dual stage inflator module with stage 1 already deployed, the fixture may not move and the noise may have been reduced. 17. Place a 12 V minimum/2 A minimum power source, such as a vehicle battery, near the shorted end of the SIR deployment harness. 18. Separate the 2 banana plugs on the SIR deployment harness. 19. Connect the SIR deployment harness wires to the power source. Inflator module deployment will occur when contact is made. 20. Disconnect the SIR deployment harness from the power source. 21. Seat one banana plug into the other in order to short the deployment harness leads. 22. If the inflator module did not deploy, disconnect the adapter and discontinue the procedure. Contact the Technical Assistance Group. Otherwise, proceed to the following steps. Page 8571 A: Because the Pro-Cut on-car lathe adjusts in a live mode while spinning the hub/rotor, the dynamics of a floating axle are effectively eliminated. Once the lathe is compensated, there is no difference in the cutting/surface finish and LRO are just the same as with a non-floating axle. - Q: Which lathe is essential for performing brake work, the bench or on-car? A: Dealers must have a well maintained bench lathe and well maintained on-car lathe. These lathes need to be calibrated on a monthly basis. BOTH lathes are essential to providing quality brake service. - Q: What is the expected tip life for an on-car lathe? A: The geometry and composition of the Pro-Cut tips are designed for "single pass" cutting. When using the Pro-Cut the cutting depth should be set to take all material needed to get below rust grooves, eliminate all run-out and resurface the entire disc in a single pass. Cuts of 0.1016-0.381 mm (0.004-0.015 in) will provide the best surface finish and the optimal tip life. No "skim cut" or "finish cut" is needed. Failure to follow this procedure will shorten tip life. The Pro-cut tips will last between 7-12 cuts per corner. With three usable corners, a pair of tips is good for at least 21 cuts. - Q: Why does GM recommend the use of single pass (referred to as "positive rake") bench and on-car brake lathes? A: GM Service and GM Brake Engineering have performed competitive evaluations on a significant number of bench and on-car brake lathes. These tests measured critical performance characteristics such as flatness, surface finish and the ability of the lathe to repeat accuracy over many uses. In each test, single pass lathe designs out performed the competitors. Single pass brake lathes are more productive requiring less time to perform the same procedure. - Q: Is it okay to leave the caliper/pads installed while cutting rotors using an on-car lathe? A: On-car lathes should never be used with the pads and calipers installed on the vehicle. The debris from cutting the rotors can contaminate the brake pads/calipers which can lead to other brake concerns and comebacks. - Q: What information needs to be documented on the Repair Order? A: Any claim that is submitted using the labor operations in this bulletin, must have the Original Rotor Thickness and Refinish Rotor Thickness (if refinished) documented on the repair order. For more information, refer to the "Repair Order Required Documentation" section of this bulletin. All Warranty Repair Orders paid by GM, are subject to review for compliance and may be debited where the repair does not comply with this procedure. Brake Warranty BRAKE WARRANTY Brake Rotors: - Brake rotor warranty is covered under the terms of the GM New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Reference the vehicle's warranty guide for verification. - Rotors should not be refinished or replaced during normal/routine pad replacement. - Rotors should not be refinished or replaced and is ineffective in correcting brake squeal type noises and/or premature lining wear out. - Rotors should not be refinished or replaced for cosmetic corrosion. Clean up of braking surfaces can be accomplished by 10-15 moderate stops from 56-64 km/h (35-40 mph) with cooling time between stops. - Rotors should not be refinished or replaced for rotor discoloration/hard spots. - Rotors should be refinished NOT replaced for Customer Pulsation concerns. This condition is a result of rotor thickness variation, usually caused by LRO (wear induced over time and miles) or corrosion (Lot Rot). - When rotor refinishing, only remove the necessary amount of material from each side of the rotor and note that equal amounts of material do not have to be removed from both sides on any brake system using a floating caliper. - Rotors should be refinished for severe scoring - depth in excess of 1.5 mm (0.060 in). Important If the scoring depth is more than 1.5 mm (0.060 in) after the rotor is refinished, it should be replaced. Page 13483 15.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 3089 34.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 1916 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. SIR/SRS SYSTEM WIRE SPLICE REPAIR Apply a new splice (not sealed) from the J 38125 if damage occurs to any of the original equipment splices (3 wires or more) in the SIR/SRS wiring harness. Carefully follow the instructions included in the kit for proper splice clip application. CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE (CPA) The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of all the SIR/SRS system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the SIR/SRS mating terminals. TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE (TPA) The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE CLIPS IMPORTANT: When making a splice in an area that may be exposed to moisture use a crimp and seal splice sleeve instead of a Splice Clip. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves Tools Required J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from Page 159 In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this program enters your vehicle inventory, or is in your dealership/facility for service through April 30, 2011, you must take the steps necessary to be sure the program correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 13982 Grille: Service and Repair Fascia Grille Replacement - Front Bumper - Lower Fascia Grille Replacement - Front Bumper - Lower Removal Procedure 1.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM 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.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 6048 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR The accelerator pedal contains 2 individual accelerator pedal position (APP) sensors within the assembly. The APP sensors 1 and 2 are potentiometer type sensors each with 3 circuits: - A 5-volt reference circuit - A low reference circuit - A signal circuit The APP sensors are used to determine the pedal angle. The powertrain control module (PCM) provides each APP sensor a 5-volt reference circuit and a low reference circuit. The APP sensors provide the PCM with signal voltage proportional to the pedal movement. The APP sensor 1 signal voltage at rest position is near the low reference and increases as the pedal is actuated. The APP sensor 2 signal voltage at rest position is near the 5-volt reference and decreases as the pedal is actuated. Page 2667 The oil level control plug (65) is located on the torque converter side of the transmission. Bracket Replacement - Console Floor (UK6) Console: Service and Repair Bracket Replacement - Console Floor (UK6) Bracket Replacement - Console Floor (UK6) Removal Procedure 1.

The powertrain control module (PCM) is the control center of this system. The PCM monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions. The PCM constantly looks at the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls the systems that affect vehicle performance and emissions. The PCM also performs the diagnostic tests on various parts of the system. The PCM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver via the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). When the PCM detects a malfunction, the PCM stores a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. Review the components and wiring diagrams in order to determine which systems are controlled by the PCM. The following are some of the functions that the PCM controls: The engine fueling - The ignition control (IC) - The knock sensor (KS) system - The evaporative emissions (EVAP) system - The secondary air injection (AIR) system (if equipped) - The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system - The automatic transmission functions - The generator - The A/C clutch control - The cooling fan control POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE FUNCTION The powertrain control module (PCM) constantly looks at the information from various sensors and other inputs and controls systems that affect vehicle performance and emissions. The PCM also performs diagnostic tests on various parts of the system. The PCM can recognize operational problems and alert the driver via the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). When the PCM detects a malfunction, the PCM stores a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). The problem area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. The control module supplies a buffered voltage to various sensors and switches. The input and output devices in the PCM include analog-to-digital converters, signal buffers, counters, and output drivers. The output drivers are electronic switches that complete a ground or voltage circuit when turned on. Most PCM controlled components are operated via output drivers. The PCM monitors these driver circuits for proper operation and, in most cases, can set a DTC corresponding to the controlled device if a problem is detected. MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) OPERATION The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located in the instrument panel cluster. The MIL will display as either SERVICE ENGINE SOON or one of the following symbols when commanded ON: The MIL indicates that an emissions related fault has occurred and vehicle service is required. The following is a list of the modes of operation for the MIL: The MIL illuminates when the ignition is turned ON, with the engine OFF. This is a bulb test to ensure the MIL is able to illuminate. - The MIL turns OFF after the engine is started if a diagnostic fault is not present. Page 13292 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 10917 Page 1777 Page 8126 Page 4244 This service data uses various symbols in order to describe different service operations. Page 1671 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 6147 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one.

The relay armature is held in the open position by spring tension. Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the relay coil and the armature contact at all times. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies the ground path to the relay coil control circuit, via an internal integrated circuit called an output driver module (ODM). When the PCM commands the relay ON, the relay coil creates an electromagnetic field. This electromagnetic field overcomes the spring tension and pulls the armature contact into the stationary contact of the relay load circuit. The closing of the relay contacts allows current to flow from the battery to the following fuses and relay. The ETC FUSE - The EMISSION FUSE - The A/C CLUTCH RELAY When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, power is interrupted to the output driver module in the PCM, and the relay electromagnetic field collapses. This action allows the spring tension pulling on the armature to separate from the relay load circuit contact, which interrupts current flow to the fuses and relay. If the powertrain relay fails to close the engine will crank, but may or may not run. The class II communications will be available with the use of a scan tool. The powertrain relay system diagnosis table assumes that the vehicle battery is fully charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test in Starting and Charging. See: Starting and Charging/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Battery Inspection/Test TEST Page 1031 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 2769 Location View Location View Page 2429 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.

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 Testing and Inspection Page 12 Page 10555 Parts Information Important The Cooling Coil Coating listed below is the only GM approved product for use under warranty as an evaporator core disinfectant and for the long term control of evaporator core microbial growth.

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 5203 - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 99-01-39-004B (Section 01 - HVAC). Condition Some customers may comment about musty odors emitted from the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system at vehicle start-up in hot, humid conditions. Cause This condition may be caused by condensate build-up on the evaporator core, which does not evaporate by itself in high humidity conditions. The odor may be the result of microbial growth on the evaporator core. When the blower motor fan is turned on, the microbial growth may release an unpleasant musty odor into the passenger compartment. There are several other possible sources of a musty odor in a vehicle. A common source is a water leak into the interior of the vehicle or foreign material in the HVAC air distribution system. Follow the procedures in SI for identifying and correcting water leaks and air inlet inspection. The procedure contained in this bulletin is only applicable if the odor source has been determined to be microbial growth on the evaporator core inside the HVAC module. Correction Many vehicles currently incorporate an afterblow function within the HVAC control module software. The afterblow feature, when enabled, employs the HVAC blower fan to dry the evaporator after vehicle shut down and this function will inhibit microbial growth. Technicians are to confirm that the customer concern is evaporator core odor and that the vehicle has the imbedded afterblow feature, as defined in the SI document for that specific vehicle model, model year and specific HVAC option. Refer to SI for enabling the afterblow function. Vehicles being delivered in areas prone to high humidity conditions may benefit from having the afterblow enabled calibration installed prior to any customer comment. Important If the vehicle is not factory equipped with the imbedded afterblow enable feature, it may be added with the Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module Kit (P/N 12497910 or AC Delco 15-5876). Important When installing the Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module, you MUST use the included electrical splice connectors to ensure a proper splice. Complete detailed installation instructions and self testing procedures are supplied with the kit. If necessary, the Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module may be installed underhood if it is protected from extreme heat and water splash areas. To immediately remove the evaporator core odor on all suspect vehicles, it is necessary to eliminate the microbial growth and prevent its re-occurrence. To accomplish this, perform the following procedure: Vehicle and Applicator Tool Preparation 1. The evaporator core must be dry. This may be accomplished by disabling the compressor and running the blower fan on the recirc heat setting for an extended period of time. Note Compressor engagement will cause the evaporator core to remain wet and will prevent full adherence of the Coiling Coil Coating to the evaporator core surfaces. 2. Verify that the air conditioning drain hose is not clogged and place a drain pan beneath the vehicle. Page 1994 This service data uses various symbols in order to describe different service operations. Page 7764 Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Service and Repair Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS) Replacement Removal Procedure Important: Retainer clips hold in each of the valve line-ups. Use a small screwdriver in order to remove the retainer clips. Be careful not to score the valve body when removing the retainer clips and valves. Before removing the valve line-ups, inspect each valve line-up for freedom of movement. 1. Remove the transmission side cover. 2. Remove the Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS) retainer clip (304), the PCS with two O-rings and screen (312, 309, 310), the torque signal regulator valve (309), and the torque signal regulator spring (308). Installation Procedure 1. Install the torque signal regulator spring (308), the torque signal regulator valve (309), the Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS) with two O-rings and screen (312, 309, 310) and the PCS retainer clip (304). 2. Install the transmission side cover. Page 2978 Some customers may use penetrating oils, grease or other lubricants on wheel studs to aid in removal or installation. Always use a suitable cleaner/solvent to remove these lubricants prior to installing the wheel and tire assemblies. Lubricants left on the wheel studs may cause improper readings of wheel nut torque. Always install wheels to clean, dry wheel studs ONLY. Notice Lubricants left on the wheel studs or vertical mounting surfaces between the wheel and the rotor or drum may cause the wheel to work itself loose after the vehicle is driven. Always install wheels to clean, dry wheel studs and surfaces ONLY. Beginning with 2011 model year vehicles, put a light coating of grease, GM P/N 1051344 (in Canada, P/N 9930370), on the inner surface of the wheel pilot hole to prevent wheel seizure to the axle or bearing hub. Wheel Stud and Lug Nut Damage Always inspect the wheel studs and lug nuts for signs of damage from crossthreading or abuse. You should never have to force wheel nuts down the stud. Lug nuts that are damaged may not retain properly, yet give the impression of fully tightening. Always inspect and replace any component suspected of damage. Tip Always start wheel nuts by hand! Be certain that all wheel nut threads have been engaged BEFORE tightening the nut. Important If the vehicle has directional tread tires, verify the directional arrow on the outboard side of the tire is pointing in the direction of forward rotation. Wheel Nut Tightening and Torque Improper wheel nut tightening can lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage. In order to avoid additional brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel nuts to the proper torque specification as shown for each vehicle in SI. Always observe the proper wheel nut tightening sequence as shown below in order to avoid trapping the wheel on the wheel stud threads or clamping the wheel slightly off center resulting in vibration. The Most Important Service You Provide While the above information is well known, and wheel removal so common, technicians run the risk of becoming complacent on this very important Page 6250 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 8101 Page 14068 2.

The control module uses the KS system to test for abnormal engine noise that may indicate detonation, also known as spark knock. SENSOR DESCRIPTION This KS system uses one or two flat response two-wire sensors. The sensor uses piezo-electric crystal technology that produces an 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 KS detects. The control module receives the KS signal through a signal circuit. The KS ground is supplied by the control module through a low reference circuit. The control module learns a minimum noise level, or background noise, at idle from the KS and uses calibrated values for the rest of the RPM range. The control module uses the minimum noise level to calculate a noise channel. A normal KS signal will ride within the noise channel. As engine speed and load change, the noise channel upper and lower parameters will change to accommodate the normal KS signal, keeping the signal within the channel. In order to determine which cylinders are knocking, the control module only uses KS signal information when each cylinder is near top dead center (TDC) of the firing stroke. If knock is present, the signal will range outside of the noise channel. If the control module has determined that knock is present, it will retard the ignition timing to attempt to eliminate the knock. The control module will always try to work back to a zero compensation level, or no spark retard. An abnormal KS signal will stay outside of the noise channel or will not be present. KS diagnostics are calibrated to detect faults with the KS circuitry inside the control module, the KS wiring, or the KS voltage output. Some diagnostics are also calibrated to detect constant noise from an outside influence such as a loose/damaged component or excessive engine mechanical noise. Page 1893 The following procedure determines the difference in voltage potential between 2 points. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 point of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the other point of the circuit. 4. Operate the circuit. 5. The DMM displays the difference in voltage between the 2 points. Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 5415 Electrical - MIL ON/DTC's Set By Various Control Modules Relay Module: All Technical Service Bulletins Electrical - MIL ON/DTC's Set By Various Control Modules TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 09-06-03-004D Date: December 08, 2010 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.

Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder (1). 5. Gently pull on the wire to remove the terminal through the back of the connector (2). IMPORTANT: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector. 6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary. 7. Reform the lock tang (2) and reset terminal in connector body. 8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves. 9. Verify that circuit is complete and working satisfactorily. 10. Perform system check. Page 6962 1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF for 2 seconds. 2. Inspect for fuel leaks. 3. Turn OFF the ignition for 10 seconds. 4. Turn ON the ignition. Page 8917 Fasteners FASTENERS METRIC FASTENERS This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch, and strength. A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive(r) or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in Posidrive(r) recess head screws. GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches. FASTENER STRENGTH IDENTIFICATION The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face. The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States, and may exhibit the following: Lower strength - No numbered head marking system - Wrong thread pitch The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications: M6.0 X 1 - M8 X 1.25 - M10 X 1.5 - M12 X 1.75 - M14 X 2.00 - M16 X 2.00 Page 1049 Listed are Registered Trademarks ((R)) or Non-Registered Trademarks ((TM)) which may appear in this service data.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 7280 Conversion - English/Metric Part 1 Page 13805 Hood Latch: Service and Repair Hood Latch Replacement Removal Procedure 1.

If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 11196 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 11146 Seat Belt Retractor Pretensioner - RF Page 7069 Page 6112 Page 2408 Wiper Switch: Diagrams Rear Wiper/Washer Switch (With RPO Code C25) Page 11539 7.2.

Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 768 Page 11891 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. OnStar(R) - Analog/Digital System Information Emergency Contact Module: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Analog/Digital System Information INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 06-08-46-008C Date: September 18, 2008 Subject: Information on OnStar(R) Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital) Systems Models Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to correct the model year range for the Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo and update the reference to GM Dealerworld.

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. Steering Wheel Shake Worksheet When diagnosing vibration concerns, use the following worksheet in conjunction with the appropriate Vibration Analysis-Road testing procedure in the Vibration Correction sub-section in SI. Page 6313 Oxygen Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 7564 Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Service and Repair Key and Lock Cylinder Coding KEY AND LOCK CYLINDER CODING KEY IDENTIFICATION AND USAGE The keys are double sided and reversible.

Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-06-04-019C (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System) Condition - Some customers may comment on an intermittent malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) being Illuminated with a message or an indicator that displays Reduced Engine Power. - The technician may observe on a scan tool DTC P2138 - Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor 1-2 Correlation set as Current or in History. Cause This condition may be caused by water intrusion into the instrument panel (IP) to body harness connector, which carries the APP sensor signals to the ECM/PCM. This water intrusion results in a voltage difference between APP Sensor 1 and APP Sensor 2 that exceeds a predetermined value for more than a calibrated period of time, setting P2138. Correction Note Aftermarket equipment can generate DTC P2138 and/or other DTCs. 1. Verify that aftermarket equipment is not electrically connected to any of the APP sensor signal or low reference circuits or to any other ECM/PCM 5V reference or low reference circuits. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories in SI. 2. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle. ‹› If any 5V reference DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. ‹› If any 5V reference DTCs are not set, proceed to Step 3. 3. Locate the IP to body harness connector, which may be located in and around the left hand kick panel area or inside the IP. Depending on the vehicle and model year, refer to Wiring Systems or Power and Signal Distribution in SI. Note Some examples of potential water leaks are: A-pillar seals, sunroof drain lines (if equipped) and windshield/cowl sealing. 4. Inspect for a water leak in the area. If necessary use a water hose to determine the source of the leak. Refer to General Information > Water Leaks in SI. ‹› If a water leak is observed, repair as necessary. Verify the effectiveness of the repair. 5. Inspect the IP to body harness connector terminals for corrosion and debris. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in SI. ‹› If any corrosion and/or debris is observed, repair as necessary. 6. After completing the repair, verify the proper operation of the system. Depending on the vehicle and model year, perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification procedure or refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in SI. Page 4470 Knock Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 6616 Disclaimer Page 10875 7. Pressing the J 38125-12A (GM P/N 12094429) tool in the release cavity of the terminal you are removing, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used. TERMINAL REPAIR PROCEDURE Use the appropriate terminal and crimper in the J-38125 in order to replace the terminal. Weather Pack Connectors WEATHER PACK CONNECTORS The following is the proper procedure for the repair of Weather Pack(R) Connectors. 1. Separate the connector halves (1). 2. Open the secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the connector (1). 3. Grasp the wire and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the wire in this position. 4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder (1). 5. Gently pull on the wire to remove the terminal through the back of the connector (2). IMPORTANT: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector. 6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary. 7. Reform the lock tang (2) and reset terminal in connector body. 8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves. 9. Verify that circuit is complete and working satisfactorily. 10. Perform system check. Locations Pedal Positioning Sensor: Locations Brake Pedal Position Sensor Page 3569 Coolant Reservoir: Service and Repair Surge Tank Hose/Pipe Replacement - Outlet Surge Tank Hose/Pipe Replacement - Outlet (L61) ^ Tools Required J 38185 Hose Clamp Pliers Removal Procedure 1.

It may be necessary to spray a small amount of water on the drive belt 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. A loose or improper installation of a body component, a suspension component, or other items of the vehicle may cause the chirping noise.

You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 7372 Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Page 1177 Customer Notification Customers will be notified of the Special Policy by General Motors (see copy of owner letter included with this bulletin).

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 7065 Page 9332 Disclaimer Page 6088 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 7247 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 4209 Steering - Front End Clunk/Rattle/Knock On Bumps Stabilizer Link: All Technical Service Bulletins Steering - Front End Clunk/Rattle/Knock On Bumps TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 06-02-32-007G Date: April 05, 2010 Subject: Clunk, Knock or Rattle Noise From Front of Vehicle While Driving or Turning Over Bumps at Low Speeds (Diagnose Noise and Perform Outlined Repair) Models: 2004-2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 2007-2010 Saturn Aura Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Parts Information for the bolt. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-02-32-007F (Section 02 - Steering). Condition 1 Some customers may comment on a clunk noise heard and felt in the steering wheel while driving at slow speeds and turning. The clunk noise may appear to be directly in front of the driver. Hitting a bump while turning can produce the clunk noise. Sometimes the noise may be duplicated when the vehicle is sitting still and the steering wheel is turned 90 degrees in either direction before initially centering the steering wheel. Cause 1 The clunk noise may be caused by a slip/stick condition between the inner and outer components of the intermediate shaft. Important Revised design intermediate shafts went into production in the 2009 model year and are the only design currently available through GMSPO since approximately September 2008. Since any model year vehicle could have had a second design shaft installed, it is critical to identify it before proceeding. The revised design intermediate shafts will NOT tolerate any type of lubricant per the following instructions. Adding lube to the second design shafts will cause a clunk noise in a very short period of time. Use the following pictures to identify which design of shaft you are servicing. Electric Assist Power Steering First Design - Bare Steel Tube (Lube OK) Page 6226 Page 5603 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3. Use the proper pick or removal tool (1) in order to release the terminal. Page 11908 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 10828 Page 3439 25. The timing chain tensioner is released by compressing it 2 mm (0.079 inch) which will release the locking mechanism in the ratchet. To release the timing chain tensioner, use a suitable tool with a rubber tip on the end. Feed the tool down through the cam drive chest to rest on the cam chain. Then give a sharp jolt diagonally downwards to release the tensioner. 26. Inspect to ensure that all dirt and debris is removed from the timing chain oiling nozzle hole in the engine block. 27.

Raise the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting. 31. Install the engine front cover. 32. Lower the vehicle. 33. Connect negative battery cable. Page 5235 Page 13166 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 7519 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Brakes - Wheel Cylinder Inspection Guidelines Wheel Cylinder: Technical Service Bulletins Brakes - Wheel Cylinder Inspection Guidelines Bulletin No.: 03-05-24-001A Date: March 21, 2005 INFORMATION Subject: Service Information Regarding Rear Brake Drum Wheel Cylinder Inspections Models: 2005 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks 2005 and Prior Saturn Vehicles with Rear Drum Brakes Supercede: This bulletin is being revised add model years and include all GM vehicles. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 03-05-24-001 (Section 03 - Suspension). This bulletin provides information on proper inspection of rear drum brake wheel cylinders. Important: It is not recommended that dust boots be removed during inspection processes as dirt and debris could contaminate the wheel cylinder bore causing premature wear of the wheel cylinder. In addition, most bores should look damp and some lubricant may drip out from under the boot as a result of lubricant being present. All rear drum brake wheel cylinders are assembled with a lubricant to aid in assembly, provide an anti-corrosion coating to the cylinder bore, and lubricate internal rubber components. As a result of this lubrication process, it is not uncommon for some amount of lubricant to accumulate at the ends of the cylinder under the dust boot. Over time, the lubricant may work its way to the outside of the boot and cause an area of the boot to look damp. Evidence of a damp area on the boot does not indicate a leak in the cylinder. However, if there is excessive wetness (i.e. drips) coming from the boot area of the wheel cylinder, it could indicate a brake hydraulic fluid leak requiring wheel cylinder replacement. (Refer to the Wheel Cylinder Replacement procedures in the appropriate Service Manual.) Disclaimer Page 444 these systems will then completely power OFF. OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows: ^ Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA ^ Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours ^ Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle communication platforms (VCPs)). Note During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike caused by the following: ^ A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system. ^ The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload. OnStar(R) System States of Readiness The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned OFF. ^ High power ^ Low power ^ Sleep ^ Digital standby The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R) system is sending or receiving calls or when the system is performing a remote function. The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or RUN position, or with RAP enabled. The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any requested functions. If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a continuous 48 hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby) based on the time of the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again received. If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the system will remain OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position. Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has been deactivated. The customers have been previously notified of the steps required to upgrade their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the following: ^ The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate ^ The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason. ^ An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded. Description and Operation Malfunction Lamp / Indicator: Description and Operation AIR BAG INDICATOR The AIR BAG indicator, located in the instrument panel cluster (IPC), is used to notify the driver of Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System malfunctions and to verify that the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) is communicating with the IPC. When the ignition is turned ON, the SDM is supplied with ignition positive voltage. The SDM requests the IPC to flash the AIR BAG indicator seven times. While flashing the indicator, the SDM conducts tests on all SIR system components and circuits. If no malfunctions are detected, the SDM will communicate with the IPC through the GMLAN serial data circuit and command the AIR BAG indicator OFF. The SDM provides continuous monitoring of the air bag circuits by conducting a sequence of checks. If a malfunction is detected the SDM will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and command the IPC to turn the AIR BAG indicator ON via GMLAN serial data. The presence of a SIR system malfunction could result in non-deployment of the air bags or deployment in conditions less severe than intended. The AIR BAG indicator will remain ON until the malfunction has been repaired. Page 2373 Page 9388 Listed are Registered Trademarks ((R)) or Non-Registered Trademarks ((TM)) which may appear in this service data.

Locate the connector position assurance (CPA) on the connector body and pull the CPA out. The CPA is on the wire harness side of connector. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 11285 IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 1. Open the harness by removing any tape: - Use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness in order to avoid wire insulation damage. - Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial. - Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice. Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in)away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. - Use an AWG wire gage. - If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. - Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D to crimp splice sleeve. In order to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool, refer to the table at the beginning of this repair procedure. 6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the splice sleeve in the proper nest. Page 12791 DTC B2483: Global Positioning System (GPS) Antenna Malfunction Short to Ground DTC B2484: Global Positioning System (GPS) Antenna Malfunction Open Circuit Conditions for Running the DTCs The ignition is in RUN or ACC position System voltage is between 9.5 - 15.5 volts.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 9515 C319 Body Harness to Left Inflatable Restraint Side Impact Module Jumper Harness (With RPO Code AY0) C320 Body Harness to Right Inflatable Restraint Side Impact Module Jumper Harness (With RPO Code AY0) Page 5744 Page 7050 Conversion - English/Metric Part 1 OnStar(R) - Number Incorrect/Incorrectly Assigned Navigation System: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Number Incorrect/Incorrectly Assigned INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 05-08-46-004C Date: December 23, 2010 Subject: OnStar(R) Phone Number Concerns (Phone Number Incorrect/Assigned to Another Vehicle/Phone) That Occur During Diagnosis of OnStar(R) System Models: 2000-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks Equipped with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years up to 2011.

Installation Procedure Page 8878 Alternator: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 1133 Page 10640 A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor Page 13886 Trunk / Liftgate Shock / Support: Service and Repair Torque Rod Replacement - Rear Compartment Lid Torque Rod Replacement - Rear Compartment Lid Removal Procedure Caution: When a hood hold open device is being removed or installed, provide alternate support to avoid the possibility of damage to the vehicle or personal injury. 1. Prop the compartment lid in the full-open position. Notice: Use a Snapon(TM) large square flat screwdriver #SSD412A or equivalent in order to remove the torque rods from the adjusting notch. Wrap the tip of the screwdriver with tape to prevent scratching the hinge mount. 2. Position the screwdriver between the torque rod ends. 3. Lift up the screwdriver to release the torque rods from the adjusting notch. Page 4980 Metric Prevailing Torque Fastener Minimum Torque Development METRIC PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENER MINIMUM TORQUE DEVELOPMENT Page 1341 Page 12971 Diagnostic Trouble Codes DTC U1000 and U1255 Circuit/System Description Modules connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with it, the DTC will only be reported once. The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them: Page 4359 Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Service and Repair MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR REPLACEMENT REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 4948 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Micro .64 Connectors MICRO.64 CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro 64 connectors. 1. Locate the lever lock on the wire dress cover. While depressing the lock, pull the lever over and past the lock. 2. Disconnect the connector from the component. 3. Locate the dress cover locking tabs at the front of the connector. Using a small flat-blade tool push down on one of the locking tabs and pull the cover up until the dress cover releases. Repeat this procedure for the other locking tab. 4. Once the front 2 locks are unlocked, lift the front of the dress cover and pull it forward. Page 4381 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector.

Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. - If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section. 4. Select the proper duraseal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the duraseal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests. 5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J 38125-D in order to position the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the duraseal splice sleeve in the proper nest. 7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice. 9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. 10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing: - The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs Page 6495 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

Correction Important: To prevent overspray from landing on the door glass, make sure all windows are rolled up before applying the lubricant to the check link. Slide the check link grommet back and spray GM Lubriplate(R) Lubricant, P/N 89021668 (in Canada, use P/N 89021674), or equivalent, on the check link saddle using a "straw" type nozzle extension. The nozzle extension should be inserted slightly into the opening above the check link arm and sprayed toward the outside of the door. If the nozzle is inserted too far into the door, it will go past the check link spring saddle and the lubricant will miss its target. Move the nozzle back and forth while spraying to distribute the lubricant. Open and shut the door until the noise is gone. Reinstall the check link grommet in the door. Parts Information Parts are currently available from GMSPO. Warranty Information Page 12549 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 6415 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 2831 Steps 14 - 15 The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table. 4. This step tests for a short to voltage on the MIL control circuit.

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

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 4053 Steps 1-12 Page 8257 positive identification and location of individual parts: Valve Body Spring and Bore Plug Chart (Metric) Diagram Information and Instructions Crankshaft Position Sensor: Diagram Information and Instructions Passenger Car Zoning PASSENGER CAR ZONING All grounds, in-line connectors, pass-through grommets, and splices have identifying numbers that correspond to where they are located in the vehicle.

If the connector has a nose piece, use a small flat-blade tool to remove the nose piece by inserting the blade into the slot on the front of the connector and prying up on the nose piece. 6. Remove the TPA by inserting a small flat-blade tool into the small slot on the TPA and pushing down until the TPA releases. Gently pry the TPA out of the connector. IMPORTANT: Always use care when removing a terminal position assurance (TPA) in order to avoid damaging it. 7. Insert the J 38125-13A (GM P/N 12031876-1) tool into the round canal between the terminals cavities at the front of the connector. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the Terminal Repair Kit to ensure that the correct release tool is used. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to angle or rock the J 38125-13A tool when inserting it into the connector or the tool may break. 8. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 8310 13.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 12250 Page 13212 The identification tag on the rear half of the transfer case provides the information shown.

Dropping the column assembly on the end could collapse the steering shaft or loosen the plastic injections, which maintain column rigidity. Leaning on the column assembly could cause the jacket to bend or deform. Any of the above damage could impair the columns collapsible design. Do NOT hammer on the end of the shaft, because hammering could loosen the plastic injections, which maintain column rigidity. If you need to remove the steering wheel, refer to the Steering Wheel Replacement procedure. 1. Install a scan tool. 2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Important: After centering the steering wheel, remove hands and other objects from the steering wheel and ensure the suspension is relaxed and that no bias, or uneven force is being applied to the steering system. 3. Center the steering wheel. 4. With the scan tool, observe the Steering Shaft Torque data parameter in the Power Steering System data displays list. Valid range is 1 Nm (0.7 ft. lbs.). Does the scan tool indicate that the steering shaft torque data parameter is greater than the specified value listed above?Replace the steering column assembly. Important: In the event of a deployment, inspect the coil wire for any of the following signs of damage due to excessive heat: Do NOT bend the energy absorbing straps on the upper mounting bracket. ^ Scorching ^ Melting ^ Other damage 5. Replace the coil, if necessary. Notice: Inflatable restraint coil assembly must be removed from the steering column and allowed to hang freely before shaft is rotated. Failure to do so could damage coil assembly. 6. Visually inspect steering shaft for sheared injected plastic. If steering shaft shows sheared plastic, a new steering column must be installed. Notice: Vehicles involved in accidents resulting in frame damage, major body or sheet metal damage, or where the steering column has been impacted, or where supplemental inflatable restraint systems deployed may also have a damaged or misaligned steering column. 7. If you need to replace the steering column, See: Steering and Suspension/Steering/Steering Column/Service and Repair/Steering Column Page 2409 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch Page 457 ^ I/O check Any faults detected during the initialization self-test shall generate a DTC. All nodes also continuously perform a self-test while in an active state. DTCs and their associated telltales will set as a result of unprogrammed or unlearned information. DTCs, which are defined for system configuration (e.g. Vehicle Option Content not programmed) do not support the history status bit (set =0). Warning indicator bit is also set, when applicable, while this DTC is present. Action Taken When the DTCs Sets The module suspends all message transmission. The module uses default values for all parameters received on the serial data circuits. The module inhibits the setting of all other communication DTCs. Conditions for Clearing the DTC A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction. Circuit/System Verification Refer to Data Link References to determine which serial data system is used for a specific module. The DTCs cannot be retrieved with a current status. Diagnosis is accomplished using the following symptom procedures: Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device in SI. OR Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Low Speed GMLAN Device in SI.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 4554 mixture. This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire.

Camshaft Cover Page 7435 The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors GMLAN REPAIRS IMPORTANT: 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. GMLAN CONNECTOR TERMINAL REPAIR IMPORTANT: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the repair. The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in the J 38125-D. 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 for the appropriate connector repair procedure. GMLAN WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If a wire is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the duraseal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the J 38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. 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 coaxial. - Do not use the duraseal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming together. IMPORTANT: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact. 2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the location of a splice.Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness branches, or connectors. 3. Strip the insulation: - When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire. - Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size: Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size. Page 7505 IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal. TERMINAL REPAIR 1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. 3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire. 4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder. TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Align the terminal and pull the wire from the back of the connector in order to seat the terminal. 2. If necessary, cut the new wire to proper length and splice with existing circuit. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. 3. If the connector is outside of the passenger compartment, apply dielectric grease to the connector. 4. Install the TPA, CPA and/or the secondary locks. Micro .64 Connectors MICRO.64 CONNECTORS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit REMOVAL PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro 64 connectors. 1.

You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 4877 IMPORTANT: Do not use the terminals in the kit in order to replace damaged SIR/SRS system terminals unless specifically indicated by the terminal package. The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items: Duraseal splice sleeves-In order to repair the SIR/SRS system wiring - A wire stripping tool - A special crimping tool - A heat torch - An instruction manual The duraseal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features: A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 5216 Conversion - English/Metric Part 1 Door Striker Replacement Front Door Striker: Service and Repair Door Striker Replacement Striker Replacement - Door Removal Procedure 1.

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 Page 7597 7. Apply pressure and gently rock the cover until one locking leg is unseated. 8. Continue to apply pressure and rock the cover until the second locking leg is unseated. Repeat procedure for the other side of the dress cover and remove the cover. 9. Use J 38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector. Page 9655 This bulletin is being issued to revise the Trim Height Specifications (for 2005) and the Wheel Alignment Specifications (for 2004 and 2005) in the Wheel Alignment sub-section of the Service Manual.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-07-30-037D (Section 07 - Transmission/Transaxle). MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS / TRANSFER CASES and POWER STEERING The content of this bulletin does not apply to manual transmissions or transfer cases. Any vehicle that previously required DEXRON(R)-III for a manual transmission or transfer case should now use P/N 88861800. This fluid is labeled Manual Transmission and Transfer Case Fluid. Some manual transmissions and transfer cases require a different fluid. Appropriate references should be checked when servicing any of these components. Power Steering Systems should now use P/N 9985010 labeled Power Steering Fluid. Consult the Parts Catalog, Owner's Manual, or Service Information (SI) for fluid recommendations. Some of our customers and/or General Motors dealerships/Saturn Retailers may have some concerns with DEXRON(R)-VI and DEXRON(R)-III Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and transmission warranty claims. DEXRON(R)-VI is the only approved fluid for warranty repairs for General Motors transmissions/transaxles requiring DEXRON(R)-III and/or prior DEXRON(R) transmission fluids (except as noted above). Please remember that the clean oil reservoirs of the J-45096 - Flushing and Flow Tester machine should be purged of DEXRON(R)-III and filled with DEXRON(R)-VI for testing, flushing or filling General Motors transmissions/transaxles (except as noted above). DEXRON(R)-VI can be used in any proportion in past model vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission/transaxle in place of DEXRON(R)-III (i.e. topping off the fluid in the event of a repair or fluid change). DEXRON(R)-VI is also compatible with any former version of DEXRON(R) for use in automatic transmissions/transaxles. DEXRON(R)-VI ATF General Motors Powertrain has upgraded to DEXRON(R)-VI ATF with the start of 2006 vehicle production. Current and prior automatic transmission models that had used DEXRON(R)-III must now only use DEXRON(R)-VI. Page 4876 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry. Follow the specific procedures and instructions when working with the SIR/SRS system wiring, and the wiring components (such as connectors and terminals). Page 10808 Conversion - English/Metric Part 2 Diagnostic Work Sheets DIAGNOSTIC WORK SHEETS The GM Diagnostic Worksheet has been designed to improve communications between the service customer and the technician.

Abbreviations And Meanings ABBREVIATIONS AND MEANINGS Remote Starting System - System Inoperative Diagnostics Keyless Starting System: Technical Service Bulletins Remote Starting System - System Inoperative Diagnostics INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 08-08-52-002 Date: February 27, 2008 Subject: Diagnostic Information for Inoperative Remote Vehicle Start Models: 2005-2008 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2005-2008 HUMMER H2 with Remote Keyless Entry RPOs AP3 or AP8 Remote Vehicle Start (RVS) Inoperative Diagnostic Concerns Information on Hood Latch Switches One of the many components involved in the Remote Vehicle Starting System is the Hood Latch Switch. The state of this switch is checked by the BCM during a remote vehicle start request and the component must function properly in order for the vehicle to commence a remote start event. During the infancy of this option (RPO AP3/AP8) parts return analysis showed a significantly shorter than expected component life for the Hood Latch Switch shared across many different GM vehicles. The switches currently being factory installed, and sent as service replacement parts, are vastly improved in design and suitably robust. Most hood latch switches currently returned under warranty are analyzed and determined to have no trouble found (NTF). It is understandable and desirable that technicians gain familiarity with the vehicles they service on a daily basis, however it is required that technicians follow Strategy Based Diagnostics before replacing this switch. Important: The ONLY way to repair or replace a hood latch switch is to replace the LATCH ASSEMBLY. The switch CANNOT be serviced separately from the latch and is NOT AVAILABLE from GMSPO. Any effort to remove the switch from the latch will permanently damage the switch and void the warranty coverage of that part. Important: The hood switch provides status of the hood to the BCM for RVS purposes. The switch is integrated into the hood latch assembly. The hood ajar switch provides two separate inputs to the BCM. These separate inputs allow the BCM to actively monitor for a hood ajar switch fault. RVS System Operation The remote vehicle start (RVS) function allows engine starting while not in the vehicle. It also allows the vehicle HVAC system and other vehicle systems to enable providing a comfortable vehicle upon entry. RVS functions have an operating range of up to 59 m (195 ft) depending on conditions. The RVS sequence begins by pressing and releasing the lock button and then pressing and holding the RVS buttons on the keyless entry transmitter. The turn signal lamps will illuminate to indicate the vehicle has received the remote start request. Each time an RVS is performed the vehicle doors are locked; however they may then be unlocked/locked with the transmitter or vehicle key at any time. Once activated the engine is allowed to run for 10 minutes. The RVS time may be extended by an additional 10 minutes by again pressing and releasing the lock button and then pressing and holding the RVS buttons on the transmitter. This feature is called an RVS continue and allows a maximum of 20 minutes of engine running. If the RVS continue is performed at 7 minutes into the initial 10 minute time-out a total of 17 minutes of engine running would occur. The RVS event may be suspended at any time by pressing only the RVS button on the transmitter or by entering the vehicle and turning ON the hazard lamps. RVS System Description Remote vehicle start (RVS) begins as a Radio Frequency (RF) message received by the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) from a keyless entry transmitter. The RVS request is sent by the RCDLR to the body control module (BCM) via serial data line. The BCM monitors system conditions such as content theft deterrent (CTD) closures ajar status and body DTCs to determine if an RVS event will occur. If conditions are determined to be acceptable the RVS message is sent to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM monitors system conditions such as engine control parameters and vehicle theft deterrent (VTD) to determine if engine starting will be allowed. If conditions are acceptable the ECM will initiate engine starting. During Page 1730 Oxygen Sensor: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 6634 Page 12531 Speaker: Service and Repair Rear (Sedan) SPEAKER REPLACEMENT - REAR (SEDAN) REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 4271 Steps 8 - 14 Page 12546 Accessory Delay Module: Diagnostic Aids Basic Knowledge Required BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Without a basic knowledge of electricity, it will be difficult to use the diagnostic procedures contained in the service manual. You should understand the basic theory of electricity, and know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). You should also be able to read and understand a wiring diagram, as well as understand what happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. Checking Aftermarket Accessories CHECKING AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES Do not connect aftermarket accessories into the following circuits: CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Service Precautions. - SIR circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the SIR symbol. NOTE: Refer to OBD II Symbol Description Notice in Service Precautions. - OBD II circuits, all such circuits are indicated on circuit diagrams with the OBD II symbol. Always check for aftermarket accessories (non-OEM) as the first step in diagnosing electrical problems. If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the system to verify that these add-on accessories are not the cause of the problems. Possible causes of vehicle problems related to aftermarket accessories include: Power feeds connected to points other than the battery - Antenna location - Transceiver wiring located too close to vehicle electronic modules or wiring - Poor shielding or poor connectors on antenna feed line - Check for recent service bulletins detailing installation guidelines for aftermarket accessories. Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including: - Wiggling the harness - Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting - Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector - Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation - Relocating a harness or wires All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floorjacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents. Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well. There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions. Salt Water Spray Some compounds possess the ability to conduct electricity when dissolved in water such as ordinary salt. By mixing table salt with water in sufficient quantities, you can enhance the conductive properties of water so that any circuit which may be sensitive to moisture will more readily fail when liberally sprayed with this mixture. Mixing 0.35L (12 oz) of water with approximately 1 tablespoon of salt will yield a salt solution of 5 percent. Fill a normal spray bottle with this Page 3216 6.

If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire.

Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-05-26-002 (Section 05 - Brakes). Condition Some customers may comment on a squeak or creak type noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. This noise occurs at slow speeds while driving over small bumps and is most apparent when the underbody of the vehicle is wet. Cause This condition may be caused by the park brake cables rubbing or slip-sticking on the retainer grommet. Correction Replace both existing white parking brake cable grommets with new black grommets, P/N 15807015, using the procedure below. These new black grommets are made from a Teflon(R) material. Raise and support the vehicle. Open the underbody clip (2) to provide some slack in the parking brake cable. Use a flat bladed tool to release the lock tab. Use care not to permanently bend the parking brake cable. If the cable becomes bent, it must be replaced. Remove the white grommet (1) from the bracket. Pull the park brake cable inboard, gripping the cable on both sides of the grommet. Page 4717 Refer to the table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for frontprobing connectors: Backprobe IMPORTANT: Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures. - Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire (dock and lock) connector. - Backprobing can be a source of damage to connector terminals. Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Heater Hose - Inlet Heater Hose: Service and Repair Heater Hose - Inlet HEATER HOSE REPLACEMENT - INLET TOOLS REQUIRED J 38185 Hose Clamp Pliers REMOVAL PROCEDURE 1.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions.

While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector. REPAIR PROCEDURE Follow the steps below in order to repair Micro 64 connector terminals. The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J 38125-64 crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J 38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp both the wire and the insulation at the same time. After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. Page 1158 2. Install the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module. 3.

If the indicator remains ON after enabling the SIR system, perform the diagnostic system check and follow the steps thoroughly to ensure that the SDM is set properly. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems. Page 7600 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

Use care in order to avoid deforming the terminal, either by forcing the test probe too far into the cavity or by using too large of a test probe. - After backprobing any connector, inspect for terminal damage. If terminal damage is suspected, test for proper terminal contact. Do not disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the harness side (back) of the connector. Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE Snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot may be used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. This allows you to concentrate on making the condition occur, rather than trying to view all the data in anticipation of the fault. The snapshot contains information around a trigger point that you have determined. Only a single data list may be recorded in each snapshot. The Scan Tool has the ability to store 2 snapshots. The ability to record 2 snapshots allows comparing hot versus cold and good versus bad vehicle scenarios. The snapshots are stored on a first-in, first-out basis. If a third snapshot is taken, the first snapshot stored in the memory will be lost. Snapshots can be 1 of 2 types: - Snapshot - taken from the Snapshot menu choice - Quick Snapshot - taken from the Data Display soft key choice, does not contain DTC information When a snapshot is taken, it is recorded on the memory card and may contain as many as 1200 frames of information. Because the snapshot is recorded onto the memory card, snapshots are not lost if the Scan Tool is powered down. The snapshot replay screen has a plot soft key that can be of great value for intermittent diagnosis. The snapshot plot feature can help you to quickly determine if a sensor is outside of its expected values by plotting 3 parameters at a time. The data will be displayed both graphically and numerically showing the minimum and maximum values for all frames captured. This is helpful, especially if the fault occurs only once and does not set a DTC. Testing For a Short To Voltage TESTING FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit. 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (DC) position. 2. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 3. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 4. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 5. If the voltage measured is greater than 1 volt, there is a short to voltage in the circuit. Testing for Continuity TESTING FOR CONTINUITY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the. position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Press the MIN MAX button on the DMM. 5. Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance and a tone is heard, the circuit has good continuity. Page 13297 11. Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solder equipment. 12. Tape the splice. Roll on enough tape in order to duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. 13. Additional tape can be applied to the wire if the wire does not belong in a conduit or another harness covering. Use a winding motion in order to cover the first piece of tape. Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves SPLICING COPPER WIRE USING SPLICE SLEEVES TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit IMPORTANT: Use only GM splice sleeves, other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection. Use crimp and seal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one-to-one splice. Use tefzel and coaxial where there is special requirements such as moisture sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using crimp and seal splice sleeves. Page 9622 Note The rivet stud and surrounding panel area MUST BE properly refinished PRIOR to the installation of the electrical ground wire terminal and conductive nut to maintain a secure, stable and corrosion-free electrical ground. 11. Refinish the repair area using an anti-corrosion primer. Refer to Anti-Corrosion Treatment and Repair in SI. 12. Allow the refinished repair area to cure sufficiently before removing the protective material applied to the rivet stud threads. 13. Remove the painters tape or equivalent from the rivet stud threads. 14.

These connectors are very similar but use different terminals and have some minor physical differences also. The first connector design of the Micro-Pack 100W (1) has a white connector interface that holds the terminals. The second design of the Micro-Pack 100W (2) has a gray interface to hold the terminals. Also, the first design has terminal cavities that are further apart (3 mm centerline) and offset from the other row of terminal cavities in the connector. The second design has terminals cavities that are closer together (2.54 mm centerline) and aligned vertically. One other way to identify the second design is the thin strip of material that runs along the outside of the cavities. IMPORTANT: There are 2 styles of Micro-Pack 100W terminals which are very similar. Ensure that you have the correct terminal before crimping the new terminal to the wire. The first design connector uses the longer terminal (1) that has a raised area in front of the recess in the terminal. The second design connector uses the shorter terminal without the raised area. Follow the steps below in order to remove terminals from Micro-Pack 100W connectors. Some Micro-Pack 100W connector disassembly procedures will vary. Use this procedure as a guide. 1. Disconnect the connector from the component. Page 9935 Electrical - Information For Electrical Ground Repair Wiring Harness: All Technical Service Bulletins Electrical - Information For Electrical Ground Repair INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 10-08-45-001B Date: October 25, 2010 Subject: Information for Electrical Ground Repair - Use New Replacement Fasteners with Conductive Finish 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 the 2011 model year and update the Warranty Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 10-08-45-001A (Section 08 - Body and Accessories). 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. Page 91 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 12069 Page 4240 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire. Page 11497 Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Description and Operation DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER (DIC) DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The radio displays driver information center (DIC) information when it first powers up. The uplevel radio shows the time and outside temperature on the first line of the display, and DIC information on the second line of the display. There are 3 DIC buttons on the radio. - ENTER - INFO - MENU ENTER The ENTER button is used in order to acknowledge a warning message, reset an option, or to select an option. INFO The INFO button is used in order to navigate through the following driver information center (DIC) information modes: AV SPEED - ECON - FUEL RANGE - OIL LIFE - TRIP A - TRIP B AV SPEED Average speed is calculated using the equation: Average Speed = Distance/Ignition On Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value - Ignition On = The accumulated ignition on time since the last reset of this value Ignition on time is measured from the time that the ignition is turned ON to the time when the ignition is turned OFF. The value of this mode is retained during ignition OFF. Press and hold the ENTER button on the radio for one second in order to reset the average speed display. ECON Average fuel economy is calculated using the equation: AFE = Distance/Fuel Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value - Fuel = The accumulated fuel consumption since the last reset of this value The instrument panel cluster (IPC) receives a serial data message from the body control module (BCM) regarding fuel usage information. The value of this mode is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between English units and metric units. Press and hold the ENTER button on the radio switch for one second in order to reset the ECON display. FUEL RANGE This message indicates the estimated distance that the vehicle can travel under the current fuel economy and fuel level conditions since the last reset of the value.

This mixture is sufficient to enhance the water's own conductivity. This may cause the circuit to fail more easily when sprayed. Once the mixture is completed, spray the suspect area liberally with the solution. Then, while monitoring either a scan tool or DMM, manipulate the harness as discussed previously. High Temperature Conditions TOOLS REQUIRED J 25070 Heat Gun If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070 . Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition. The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however. Low Temperature Conditions Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the shade can have the desired effect. If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and 71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern. Measuring Frequency MEASURING FREQUENCY NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure determines the frequency of a signal. IMPORTANT: Connecting the DMM to the circuit before pressing the Hz button will allow the DMM to autorange to an appropriate range. 1. Apply power to the circuit. 2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) position. 3. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 5. Press the Hz button on the DMM. 6. The DMM will display the frequency measured. Measuring Voltage MEASURING VOLTAGE NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit. 1. Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary. 2. Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods: - Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. - Turn ON the engine. - Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. - Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. 3. Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM. 4. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point. Measuring Voltage Drop MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. Page 7178 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 6361 Page 6369 Oxygen Sensor: Connector Views Fuel Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Sensor 1 Description and Operation Fuel Line Coupler: Description and Operation QUICK-CONNECT FITTINGS Quick-connect fittings provide a simplified means of installing and connecting fuel system components.

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. 2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire. IMPORTANT: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gage wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added wire. 3. Depress the spring loaded locator of the J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool until the terminal holder is completely visible. 4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly. 5. Place stripped wire into terminal. 6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE After the terminal is crimped to the wire perform the following procedure in order to replace Micro-Pack 100 terminals. 1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other terminals. Insure that the terminal is locked in place by gently pulling on the wire. 3. To assemble the connector, reverse the Terminal Removal Procedure. Repairing Connector Terminals Page 2352 4. Re-assemble the cable. - Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. - Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1). - Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire. - Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape. 5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape. Page 11192 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced.

The message will also instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services. ^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed. Note For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation. Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription. OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure, the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS. The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID (MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers. The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure, or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data. During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing. Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device identification, call routing and connection. They are: ^ A mobile identification number (MIN) ^ A mobile directory number (MDN) Note The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device. Diagnostic Information Symptoms - Cellular Communication The following steps must be completed before using the symptom table. 1. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle, before using the Symptom Tables in order to verify that the following are true: ^ There are no DTCs set. ^ The control modules can communicate via the serial data link. 2. Review the system operation in order to familiarize yourself with the system functions. Refer to Radio/Audio System Description and Operation in SI.

Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 DTC is set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with it, the DTC will only be reported once. The Class 2 serial data communications circuit on this vehicle are in a hybrid ring and star configuration. Each module on the ring has 2 serial data circuits connected to it, except the following modules which have only 1 serial data circuit connected them: Page 7924 2. Hook one of the open ends of the retaining ring in one of the slots in the quick connect fitting. 3. Rotate the retaining ring around the fitting until the retaining ring is positioned with all three ears through the three slots on the fitting. 4. Do not install the new retaining ring onto the fitting by pushing the retaining ring. 5. Ensure that the three retaining ring ears are seen from inside the fitting and that the retaining ring moves freely in the fitting slots. Page 4610 Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Sensor 2 Page 5219 Page 9028 Page 5239 Body Control Module (BCM) C1 Part 2 Page 2036 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 22 - If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step. 4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Page 841 Body Control System Diagram 4 Page 11266 TESTING FOR PROPER TERMINAL CONTACT It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component.

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. Page 12622 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Using Fused Jumper Wires USING FUSED JUMPER WIRES TOOLS REQUIRED J 36169-A Fused Jumper Wire IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged. The J 36169-A includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested. Connector Position Assurance Locks CONNECTOR POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of the connector. CPAs are used in various connectors throughout the vehicle. CPAs are also used in all SIR system electrical connectors. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals, of the connector. Terminal Position Assurance Locks TERMINAL POSITION ASSURANCE LOCKS The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement. Push to Seat Connectors PUSH TO SEAT CONNECTORS TERMINAL REMOVAL Follow the steps below in order to repair push to seat connectors. 1. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device, the connector position assurance (CPA) device, and/or the secondary lock. 2. Separate the connector halves (1). 3.

Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire. 2. Cut the wire. - Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. - Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original. - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating (4). Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: - Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced (1). 5. Select the proper splice sleeve (2) and the required crimp nest tool, refer to the Crimp and Seal Splice Table. 6. Place the duraseal splice sleeve in the J-38125-8 (12085115) crimp tool nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. 7. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper crimp tool nest. 8. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve until the wire hits the barrel stop. The splice sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to prevent the wire from passing through the splice (3). 9. Close the handles of the J-38125-8 (12085115) until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. 10. Shrink the insulation around the splice. - Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel. - Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing. The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation. - A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved. Splicing Inline Harness Diodes SPLICING INLINE HARNESS DIODES Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure. Page 13348 Body Control Module: Description and Operation Retained Accessory Power (RAP) RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER (RAP) DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION SERIAL DATA CONTROL OF RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER (RAP) The modules receive the power mode message from the body control module (BCM) over the serial data circuits, indicating when the retained accessory power (RAP) power mode is current. The BCM monitors the ignition switch position, battery condition and passenger compartment doors status to determine whether RAP should be initiated. The modules then support the operation of the systems under their control as required by their RAP power mode operation. RAP will end when one of the following conditions is met: The BCM receives an input indicating the opening of any compartment door. - The BCM internal timer for the RAP expires after approximately 10 minutes. - The BCM detects a decrease in battery capacity below a prescribed limit. - The Radio uses an exclusive RAP message that can not be circumvented by any door but the drives door. The BCM then sends a serial data power mode message ending the RAP function. The radio is the only module that is controlled by the serial data circuits. RELAY CONTROL OF RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER (RAP) The body control module (BCM) keeps the accessory relay energized during all power modes, except Off-Awake and Crank. The devices powered by the accessory relay during the retained accessory power (RAP) power mode are the sunroof and windows. Page 252 ^ An OnStar(R) Call Center button press WILL NOT connect the vehicle with OnStar(R).

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 6320 Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals.

ALL METAL PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by a designed distortion or deformation in the fastener. NYLON INTERFACE PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a nylon material on the fastener threads. ADHESIVE COATED FASTENERS These fasteners accomplish the thread interface by the presence of a thread-locking compound on the fastener threads. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure in order to determine if the fastener may be reused and the applicable thread-locking compound to apply to the fastener. A prevailing torque fastener may be reused ONLY if: The fastener and the fastener counterpart are clean and not damaged - There is no rust on the fastener - The fastener develops the specified minimum torque against its counterpart prior to the fastener seating Page 5650 Page 13175 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape.

Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved OnStar(R) - Number Incorrect/Incorrectly Assigned Emergency Contact Module: All Technical Service Bulletins OnStar(R) - Number Incorrect/Incorrectly Assigned INFORMATION Bulletin No.: 05-08-46-004C Date: December 23, 2010 Subject: OnStar(R) Phone Number Concerns (Phone Number Incorrect/Assigned to Another Vehicle/Phone) That Occur During Diagnosis of OnStar(R) System Models: 2000-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks Equipped with OnStar(R) (RPO UE1) Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update model years up to 2011.

Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation. Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit. Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit. ROUND WIRE CONNECTORS Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125 or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body. 3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question. FLAT WIRE (DOCK AND LOCK) CONNECTORS There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact. 1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well. 3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation. 4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the J 42675 on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question. Testing For Short to Ground TESTING FOR SHORT TO GROUND NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit. With a DMM 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position. 4. Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit. With a Test Lamp 1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the load. 3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to ground in the circuit. Fuse Powering Several Loads 1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure that the fuse is powered). - When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch. Page 6528 5.

Probing Electrical Connectors PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IMPORTANT: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals. Frontprobe Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector. NOTE: Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit or the J 42675 Flat-Wire Probe Adapter in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals. - When using the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit label on the inside of the J-35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size. Page 7637 Knock Sensor (KS) Page 5898 Steps 1-12 Page 7662 Shift Solenoid: Locations 4T40-E/4T45-E Automatic Transmission Electronic Component Views Electronic Components Electronic Components 13 - TFP Manual Valve Position Switch Assembly 46 - Input Speed Sensor 62 - Output Speed Sensor 305 - 1-2 and 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valves 305 - 1-2 and 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valves 312 Pressure Control Solenoid 335 - TCC Control PWM Solenoid Electrical - MIL ON/DTC's Set By Various Control Modules Wiring Harness: Customer Interest Electrical - MIL ON/DTC's Set By Various Control Modules TECHNICAL Bulletin No.: 09-06-03-004D Date: December 08, 2010 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.

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

Inspect for the following items: Wiring broken inside the insulation - Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector. - Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc. - Wire insulation which is rubbed through-This causes an intermittent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle. - Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required in order to verify the complaint. - Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions. - Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis. Page 9100 Page 1530 Page 5317 bridging adjacent splices and causing damage. 3. Select the proper size and type of wire. - The wire must be of equal or greater size than the original (except fusible link). - The wire's insulation must have the same or higher temperature rating. Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures. - Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected. IMPORTANT: Use cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC. - Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact. 4. Strip the insulation. - Select the correct size opening in the wire stripper or work down from the largest size. - Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. 5. Select the proper clip to secure the splice. Follow the instructions in the J 38125-D in order to determine the proper clip size crimp tool and anvil. 6. Overlap the 2 stripped wire ends and hold them between thumb and forefinger. 7. Center the splice clip (2) over the stripped wires (1) and hold the clip in place. - Ensure that the wires extend beyond the clip in each direction. - Ensure that no insulation is caught under the clip. 8. Center the crimp tool over the splice clip and wires. 9. Apply steady pressure until the crimp tool closes. Ensure that no strands of wire are cut. 10. Crimp the splice on each end (2). Page 8969 Page 6659 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S) WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit NOTE: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed. If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: - Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor, causing poor performance. Also, the sensor pigtail and harness wires must not be damaged in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. - Neither the sensor nor vehicle lead wires should be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends, kinks, etc., could block the reference air path through the lead wire. - Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wire sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will also cause poor engine performance. - To prevent damage due to water intrusion, be sure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector. The engine harness may be repaired using the J 38125. Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation REPAIRING DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. Sir/SRS Wiring Repairs SIR/SRS WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is shorted. Troubleshooting With A Digital Multimeter TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. IMPORTANT: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the PCM, should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the J 39200. The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference. A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading. Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement. Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested: - Backprobe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors. - Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses. - If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified Pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly. Troubleshooting With A Test Lamp TROUBLESHOOTING WITH A TEST LAMP TOOLS REQUIRED J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp NOTE: Refer to Test Probe Notice in Service Precautions. A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage. The J 35616-200 is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads. To properly operate this tool use the following procedures. When testing for voltage: 1. Attach 1 lead to ground. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested. When testing for ground: 1. Attach 1 lead to battery positive voltage. 2. Touch the other lead to various points along the circuit where ground should be present. 3. When the bulb illuminates, there is ground at the point being tested. Using Connector Test Adapters USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS NOTE: - Do not insert test equipment probes (DVOM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.

This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If the engine is not making the noise do not proceed further with this table 3. The noise may be an internal engine noise. Removing the drive belt and operating the engine for a brief period will verify the squeal noise is the drive belt or an accessory drive component. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belt removed. 4. This test is to verify that an accessory drive component does not have a seized bearing. With the belt remove test the bearings in the accessory drive components for turning smoothly. Also test the accessory drive components with the engine operating by varying the load on the components to verify that the components operate properly. 5. This test is to verify that the drive belt tensioner operates properly. If the drive belt tensioner is not operating properly, proper belt tension may not be achieved to keep the drive belt from slipping which could cause a squeal noise. 6. This test is to verify that the drive belt is not too long, which would prevent the drive belt tensioner from working properly. Also if an incorrect length drive belt was installed, it may not be routed properly and may be turning an accessory drive component in the wrong direction. 7. Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misalign pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misalign pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for Capacity Specifications Refrigerant Oil: Capacity Specifications REFRIGERANT OIL CAPACITIES ABRUPT REFRIGERANT LOSS ............................................................................................................................................................ 60 ml (2.0 oz) NOTE: Abrupt refrigerant loss due to large leak, hose rupture, collision, or pressure relief valve opening.

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.

The heat shrink sleeve contains a sealing adhesive inside. - A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. The J 38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items: A large sampling of common electrical terminals - The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires - The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors SIR/SRS CONNECTOR (PLASTIC BODY AND TERMINAL METAL PIN) REPAIR Use the connector repair assembly packs in order to repair the damaged SIR/SRS wire harness connectors and the terminals. Do not use the connector repair assembly pack in order to repair the pigtails. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices. Use the sealed splices in order to splice the new wires, connectors, and terminals to the harness. The splice crimping tool is color keyed in order to match the splices from the J 38125. You must use the splice crimping tool in order to apply these splices. The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are only available in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs. If the individual terminals are damaged on the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) harness connector, use one of the following 2 components in order to replace the SDM harness connector: The SDM harness connector pigtail assembly - The SDM harness connector replacement kit If the individual terminals are damaged on any other SIR/SRS connection, use the appropriate connector repair assembly pack in order to replace the entire connection. Replace the entire SIR/SRS wiring harness, if needed, in order to maintain Restraint Systems/SRS circuit integrity. SIR/SRS WIRE PIGTAIL REPAIR IMPORTANT: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails. A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device (not by a connector). If a wiring pigtail is damaged, you must replace the entire component (with pigtail). The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component. SIR/SRS WIRE REPAIR IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Repairs in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity. If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-D. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice. Page 14029 Install the right console trim panel. Cup Holder Replacement - Front Floor Console - Rear Cup Holder Replacement - Front Floor Console - Rear Removal Procedure 1.

Towing Procedure Note: Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to the transmission. Important: The towing speed as stated in the Owner's Manual should not exceed 104 km/h (65 mph) for 1995-2005 vehicles. In order to properly dinghy tow the vehicle, follow these steps: 1. Firmly set the parking brake. 2. Open the fuse panel and pull the fuse(s) indicated in the Owner's Manual section detailing towing your vehicle. This prevents the instrument panel (IP) and/or electronic PRNDL indicator from draining the battery. 3. Securely attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle. 4. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position, which is one position forward of LOCK. Unlocking the steering column allows for proper movement of the front wheels and tires during towing. For 1997-1999 Cutlass, 1997-2003 Malibu, 2004-2006 Chevrolet Classic and 1999-2004 Alero/Grand Am models, turn the ignition switch to the accessory (ACC) position, which is one position forward of OFF. This position unlocks the transaxle. 5. Shift the transmission to Neutral (N). Note: Page 6081 The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are an one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine the element in the fuse for an open (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a DMM or a continuity tester. If the element is open or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating. Circuit Protection - Fusible Links CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a DMM at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gage size. Repairing a Fusible Link IMPORTANT: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips. Flat Wire Repairs FLAT WIRE REPAIRS NOTE: The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable. If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be replaced. GMLAN Wiring Repairs GMLAN WIRING REPAIRS TOOLS REQUIRED J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit The GM Local Area Network (GMLAN) System requires special wiring repair procedures due to the sensitive nature of the circuitry.

The tool kit J 38125 contains the following items in order to repair the GMLAN wiring: Duraseal splice sleeves - A wire stripping tool - J 38125-8 (12085115) crimping tool - J 38125-5 (12085116) ultratorch Page 11697 ^ An OnStar(R) Call Center button press WILL NOT connect the vehicle with OnStar(R). The vehicle must be upgraded to reactivate the account. The customer will hear a demo message stating that there is not a current OnStar(R) subscription for the vehicle. The message will also instruct the customer how to upgrade and reactivate services. ^ OnStar(R) personal calling (OPC) will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to have a current OnStar(R) account. Attempts to use this feature will result in cellular connection failure messages and the inability to connect to the number dialed. Note For deactivated vehicles, a no connect response should be considered normal system operation. Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary should the customer elect to become an active OnStar(R) subscriber and upgrade the account subscription. OnStar(R) Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations The proper operation of the OnStar(R) System is dependent on several elements outside the components integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure, the cellular telephone carriers within the network, and the GPS. The cellular operation of the OnStar(R) system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range from a digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the call is placed. Making an OnStar(R) key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have a temporary equipment failure will result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data transfer or the complete inability to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center. The OnStar(R) system may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers for the module, station identification number (STID), electronic serial number (ESN) or manufacturers electronic ID (MEID), are not recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers. The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures associated with them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of the system to gain GPS signals because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure, or being mistaken with an OnStar(R) call which has reached the Call Center without vehicle data. During diagnostic testing of the OnStar(R) system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is located in an area that has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area where digital cellular calls have been successfully placed. These areas can be found by successfully making an OnStar(R) keypress in a known good OnStar(R) equipped vehicle and confirming success with the OnStar(R) Call Center advisor. Such places can be used as a permanent reference for future OnStar(R) testing. Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device identification, call routing and connection. They are: ^ A mobile identification number (MIN) ^ A mobile directory number (MDN) Note The MIN represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes. The MDN represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device. Diagnostic Information Symptoms - Cellular Communication The following steps must be completed before using the symptom table. 1. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle, before using the Symptom Tables in order to verify that the following are true: ^ There are no DTCs set. ^ The control modules can communicate via the serial data link. 2.

SENSOR REPLACEMENT GUIDELINES The SIR/side air bag sensor replacement policy requires replacing sensors in the area of accident damage. The area of accident damage is defined as the portion of the vehicle which is crushed, bent, or damaged due to a collision. An example of this would be a moderate collision where the front of the vehicle impacts a tree. If the vehicle has an SIR sensor mounted forward of the radiator, it must be replaced. Replace the sensor whether or not the air bags have deployed. - Replace the sensor even if it appears to be undamaged. Page 6842 Steps 6 - 8 The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table. 3.

Claim Information Customer Reimbursement - For US All customer requests for reimbursement for previous repairs for the special coverage condition will be handled by the Customer Assistance Center, not by dealers. Refer to the GM Service Policies and Procedures Manual, section 6.1.12, for specific procedures regarding customer reimbursement and the form. Customer Reimbursement - For Canada Customer requests for reimbursement of previously paid repairs to correct broken fuel caps are to be submitted to the dealer prior to or by February 29, 2008. Repairs must have occurred within the 10 years of the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, or 193,000 km (120,000 miles), whichever occurs first. When a customer requests reimbursement, they must provide the following: Proof of ownership at time of repair. Original paid receipt confirming the amount of unreimbursed repair expense(s) (including Service Contract deductibles), a description of the repair, and the person or entity performing the repair. If the work was done by someone other than a GM dealership, the amount of reimbursement will be limited to the amount that the repair would have cost GM to have it completed by a GM dealership. Page 5140 Disclaimer Page 8093 1. Open the harness. - If the harness is taped, remove the tape. - To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness. - If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode. 2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool. IMPORTANT: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering tool. 5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the new diode. 6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias. Reference the appropriate service data wiring schematic to obtain the correct diode installation position. 7. Attach the new diode to the wire(s) using 60/40 rosin core solder. Before soldering attach some heat sinks (aluminum alligator clips) across the diode wire ends to protect the diode from excessive heat. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the soldering equipment. 8. Reinstall terminal(s) into the connector body if previously removed. IMPORTANT: To prevent shorts to ground and water intrusion, completely cover all exposed wire and diode attachment points with tape. 9. Tape the diode to the harness or connector using electrical tape. Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable SPLICING TWISTED OR SHIELDED CABLE Twisted/shielded cable is used in order to protect wiring from electrical noise. Two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the radio and the Delco-Bose(R) speaker/amplifier units and other applications where low level, sensitive signals must be carried. Follow the instructions below in order to repair the twisted/shielded cable. 1. Remove the outer jacket (1). Use care not to cut into the drain wire of the mylar tape. 2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splice is made. 3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the splicing instructions for copper wire. Staggering the splices by 65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire.
