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

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.

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

Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The accessory DC/AC power inverter module converts 12 V direct current (DC) battery voltage to
110 V at 60 Hertz (Hz) alternating current (AC) in order to operate AC powered devices. The
accessory DC/AC power inverter module provides up to 150 watts of power. The accessory DC/AC
power inverter module is connected to a chassis ground circuit and receives fuse protected battery
voltage.
The accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC has an internal switch, that detects when an AC
powered device is plugged into the receptacle. When the ignition is ON and an AC powered device
is plugged into the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC, the normally open switch in the
accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC, closes. When the accessory DC/AC power inverter
module detects the voltage from the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC switch, the inverter
module begins to supply 110 V AC to the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC after a 1.5
second delay.

up, allowing tire air pressure to increase above the threshold causing the light to go off. Properly
adjusting all tire air pressures to the recommended levels will correct this (Refer to the Tire and
Loading Information Label on the driver side door).
- More detailed information can be found in the Owner Manual.
- Service is not covered under warranty - this maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
- Give the customer a copy of the "GM Customer TPMS Information".

Training Course 13044.12T2.
Tire Pressure Light
At key on, without starting the vehicle:
Steady Solid Glowing TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a steady glowing yellow lamp (as above), the system is functioning
properly and you should add air to the tires to correct this condition.
Blinking TPM Indicator
If the TPM indicator appears as a BLINKING yellow lamp for one minute and then stays on solid,
diagnostic service is needed.
The Effect of Outside Temperature on Tire Pressures
Important:
As a rule of thumb, tire pressure will change about 7kPa (1 psi) for every 6°C (10°F) decrease in
temperature - Tire pressure will drop when it gets colder outside, and rise when it gets warmer.
Under certain situations such as extreme outside temperature changes, the system may bring on a
solid light with a check tire pressure message. This should be considered normal and the system is
working properly. The light will turn off upon adding the proper amount of air to the tires (refer to the
Tire & Loading Information label in the driver's door opening). When properly adjusting tire air
pressure, the following steps are important to help optimize the system and prolong bringing a tire
pressure light on:
^ Use an accurate, high quality tire pressure gauge.
^ Never set the tire pressure below the specified placard value regardless of tire temperature or
ambient temperature.
^ Tire pressure should be set to the specified placard pressure at the lowest seasonal temperature
the vehicle will encounter during operation.

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 07-03-10-008B
Date: August 13, 2009
Subject: Information on Slight or Mild Tire Feathering and Recommended Practices (Normal Tire
Wear Condition)
Models:
2006-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2006-2010 HUMMER H2,
H3 2006-2009 Saab 9-7X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 07-03-10-008A (Section 03 - Suspension).
This bulletin provides information regarding the normal tire wear condition of slight or mild tire
feathering and recommended practices.
If a vehicle comes into a dealership with a concern of slight or mild feathering-type wear on the
tires, review with the customer their past tire rotation history. Tires should be rotated every 8,000 to
13,000 km (5,000 to 8,000 mi) for applicable vehicles with tires where a tire rotation is possible or
recommended. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-015B for information on tire rotation
for vehicles with different front/rear tire/wheel sizes.
SOME TIRE FEATHERING IS A NORMAL PART OF TIRE WEAR AND THROUGH PROPER
TIRE ROTATION AND INFLATION, THIS TIRE WEAR CAN BE MINIMIZED AND TIRE LIFE
MAXIMIZED.
If the customer has not rotated the tires within the last 8,000 to 13,000 km (5,000 to 8,000 mi), a
tire rotation in the modified X-pattern is necessary to clean-up the feathering, rather than placing
the vehicle on the alignment machine.

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.

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

Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (DMM)
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohms position. 4. Connect one lead of the DMM to
one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the
DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.

* Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack
instead of the electrodes (3, 4).
* Inspect for evidence of improper arcing.
- Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3) terminals. Refer to
Ignition System Specifications (See: Powertrain Management/Ignition System/Specifications). An
excessively wide electrode gap can prevent correct spark plug operation.
- Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Refer to Ignition System Specifications (See: Powertrain
Management/Ignition System/Specifications). Insufficient torque can prevent correct spark plug
operation. An over torqued spark plug, causes the insulator (2) to crack.
- Inspect for signs of tracking that occurred near the insulator tip instead of the center electrode (4).
- Inspect for a broken or worn side electrode (3).
- Inspect for a broken, worn, or loose center electrode (4) by shaking the spark plug.
* A rattling sound indicates internal damage.
* A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark intensity.
- Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the
gap.
- Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4) If equipped.
- Inspect for excessive fouling.
* Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can
cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during installation.
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

P-Metric Sized Tires Description
Most P-metric tire sizes do not have exact corresponding alphanumeric tire sizes. Replacement
tires should be of the same tire performance criteria TPC specification number including the same
size, the same load range, and the same construction as those originally installed on the vehicle.
Consult a tire dealer if you must replace the P-metric tire with other sizes. Tire companies can best
recommend the closest match of alphanumeric to P-metric sizes within their own tire lines. The
above illustration may not correspond with your vehicle, but is meant as an example.

13. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve. 14. Using the
heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing. 15. Gradually move the heat from
the center to the open end of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
16. Replace any reflective tape and clips that may have been remove during the repair.
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
If the wire insulation has been chafed, or broken, enough to show the conductive portion of the
wire, and the wire is not damaged, determine the length of insulation that needs to be repaired. If
the repair is less than 280 mm (11 in), cut the wire within the damaged area. Then slide the
appropriate heat shrink tubing (listed below) over the wire, and repair the wire by splicing the wires
together. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Once the wire is spliced
together slide heat shrink tubing over the damaged area and apply heat to seal the repaired wire.
If the wire is damaged, or the damaged area is larger than 280 mm (11 in), then replace the
damaged wire by splicing in a new section of wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice
Sleeves (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General
Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).

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 (See: Ignition System/Specifications) for the
correct spark plug.
* Ensure that the spark plug has the correct heat range. An incorrect heat range causes the
following conditions:
- Spark plug fouling - 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.

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. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-003E (Section 03 - Suspension).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a low tire pressure condition.
Diagnosis of the low tire pressure condition indicates an air leak through the cast aluminum wheel.
Cause
Porosity in the cast aluminum wheel may be the cause.
Notice
This bulletin specifically addresses issues related to the wheel casting that may result in an air
leak. For issues related to corrosion of the wheel in service, please refer to Corporate Bulletin
Number 08-03-10-006C - Tire Slowly Goes Flat, Tire Air Loss, Low Tire Pressure Warning Light
Illuminated, Aluminum Wheel Bead Seat Corrosion (Clean and Resurface Wheel Bead Seat).
Correction
1. Remove the tire and wheel assembly from the vehicle. Refer to the appropriate service
procedure in SI. 2. Locate the leaking area by inflating the tire to 276 kPa (40 psi) and dipping the
tire/wheel assembly in a water bath, or use a spray bottle with soap
and water to locate the specific leak location.
Important
- If the porosity leak is located in the bead area of the aluminum rim (where the tire meets the rim),
the wheel should be replaced.
- If two or more leaks are located on one wheel, the wheel should be replaced.
3. If air bubbles are observed, mark the location.
- If the leak location is on the tire/rubber area, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 04-03-10-001F Tire Puncture Repair Procedures for All Cars and Light Duty Trucks.
- If the leak is located on the aluminum wheel area, continue with the next step.
4. Inscribe a mark on the tire at the valve stem in order to indicate the orientation of the tire to the
wheel. 5. Dismount the tire from the wheel. Refer to Tire Mounting and Dismounting. 6. Remove
the tire pressure sensor. Refer to Tire Pressure Sensor removal procedure in SI. 7. Scuff the
INSIDE rim surface at the leak area with #80 grit paper and clean the area with general purpose
cleaner, such as 3M(R) General Purpose
Adhesive Cleaner, P/N 08984, or equivalent.
8. Apply a 3 mm (0.12 in) thick layer of Silicone - Adhesive/Sealant, P/N 12378478 (in Canada, use
88900041), or equivalent, to the leak area. 9. Allow for the adhesive/sealant to dry.
Notice Caution must be used when mounting the tire so as not to damage the sealer. Damaging
the repair area may result in an air leak.

30. Inspect the timing chain tensioner seal for damage. If damaged, replace the seal. 31. Inspect to
ensure all dirt and debris is removed from the timing chain tensioner threaded hole in the cylinder
head.
Note: Ensure the timing chain tensioner seal is centered throughout the torque procedure to
eliminate the possibility of an oil leak.
32. Install the timing chain tensioner assembly. Tighten the timing chain tensioner to 75 Nm (55 lb
ft). 33. The timing chain tensioner is released by compressing it 2 mm (0.079 in), 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.
34. Using a 24 mm wrench, engage the hex on the intake camshaft, and using a torque wrench,
tighten the camshaft actuator bolt. Tighten the intake
camshaft position actuator bolt to 30 Nm (22 lb ft) plus 100 degrees using the EN-45059 - meter.
35. Using a 24 mm wrench, engage the hex on the exhaust camshaft, and using a torque wrench,
tighten the camshaft actuator bolt. Tighten the exhaust

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

4. Disconnect the harness connectors with the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits at another
control module, in the direction of the open circuit. 5. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for greater
than 100k ohm between each pair of serial data circuits at the control module connector that was
just
disconnected. Verify that one pair of serial data circuits are greater than 100k ohm.
‹› If each pair of serial data circuits is less than the specified range, replace the control module that
was just disconnected.
6. Repeat step 3 until one of the following conditions are isolated:
* An open/high resistance on the serial data circuit between 2 control modules
* An open/high resistance on the serial data circuit between a control module and a terminating
resistor
* An open/high resistance terminating resistor

* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The serial data is transmitted over a single wire to the appropriate control modules. The
transmission speed for GMLAN low speed is up to 83.33 Kb/s. Under normal vehicle operating
conditions, the speed of the buss is 33.33 Kb/s. The control modules toggle the serial data circuit
between 0-5 V during normal communications. To wake the control modules connected to the
GMLAN low speed serial data circuit, a voltage wake up pulse of 10 V is sent out. If serial data is
lost, control modules will set a no communication code against the non-communicating control
module. Note: a loss of serial data communications DTC does not represent a failure of the module
that set it.
Diagnostic Aids
* Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a
history U-code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss-ofcommunication U-codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they're
transparent to the vehicle operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms.
Eventually, they will erase themselves automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles.
This condition would most likely be attributed to one of these scenarios:
- A control module on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication
circuit is awake.
- Power to one or more modules was interrupted during diagnosis
- A low battery condition was present, so some control modules stop communicating when battery
voltage drops below a certain threshold.
- Battery power was restored to the vehicle and control modules on the communication circuit did
not all re-initialize at the same time.
- If a loss-of-communication U-code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above.

ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Danger: High voltage circuits should only be tested using a digital multimeter (DMM) and test leads
with at least a CAT III rating, such as the J 39200-A Digital Multimeter. Failure to follow the
procedures exactly as written may result in serious injury or death.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Digital Multimeter (DMM) Basic Requirements
Service information is validated using digital multimeters that meet or exceed the following
requirements. Using a multimeter that does not meet these basic requirements may give inaccurate
readings which could lead to an incorrect diagnosis.
Display and Settings
1. Four digits displayed 2. Voltage, amperage, resistance, frequency, diode test settings, and
min-max function 3. Display positive and negative values
Voltage
1. Have at least 10 M ohm input impedance

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

Page 9916
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Power
Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and
Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics).
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics).
Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Checking Aftermarket
Accessories).
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.

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

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.

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.
If the thrust angle is not set properly the vehicle may "dog track", the steering wheel may not be
centered or it could be perceived as a bent axle. Thrust angle can be checked during a wheel
alignment.
Positive thrust angle means the thrust line is pointing to the right hand side (RHS) of the vehicle.
Negative thrust angle means the thrust line is pointing to the left hand side (LHS) of the vehicle.
If the thrust angle is out of specification, moving the axle to body relationship will change the thrust
angle reading.
If the vehicle is out in the Positive (+) direction-moving the RHS forward and/or LHS rearward will
move the thrust angle towards zero degrees.
If the vehicle is out in the Negative (-) direction-moving the RHS rearward and/or LHS forward will
move the thrust angle towards zero degrees.

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

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

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

The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Set the Digital Multimeter (DMM) to the V (DC) position. 4. Connect the positive lead of the
DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 7. If the voltage measured is greater
than 1 V, there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Special Tools
J 25070 Heat Gun
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure). Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Electrical Intermittents).
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.

* 10.42-10.79 mm (0.410-0.425 in) flare diameter for 7.94 mm (5/16 in) diameter pipe
33. If necessary, using the removed section of brake pipe as a template, shape the new pipe with a
suitable brake pipe bending tool.
Note: When installing the pipe, maintain a clearance of 19 mm (3/4 in) from all moving or vibrating
components.
34. Install the pipe to the vehicle with the appropriate brake pipe unions, as required. 35. If
previously released, secure the brake pipe to the retainers. 36. Bleed the hydraulic brake system.

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

Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
If the wire insulation has been chafed, or broken, enough to show the conductive portion of the
wire, and the wire is not damaged, determine the length of insulation that needs to be repaired. If
the repair is less than 280 mm (11 in), cut the wire within the damaged area. Then slide the
appropriate heat shrink tubing (listed below) over the wire, and repair the wire by splicing the wires
together. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Once the wire is spliced
together slide heat shrink tubing over the damaged area and apply heat to seal the repaired wire.
If the wire is damaged, or the damaged area is larger than 280 mm (11 in), then replace the
damaged wire by splicing in a new section of wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice
Sleeves (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General

OUTLOOK
Supercede: The Service Procedure in this bulletin has been revised. All vehicles will not require the
replacement of the front seat-mounted side impact airbag connectors.Please discard all copies of
bulletin 10085C, issued November 2010.
Condition
Certain 2008 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK vehicles, and 2010
model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles may experience wear which could lead to
corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the body main wiring harness
and the front driver and passenger side impact air bag. Over time, the wear may result in a
resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG System warning message in the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully functional. Over time, and if
the SERVICE AIR BAG System DIC warning message is ignored, the resistance could increase to
a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when commanded in a side impact
crash.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the front seat-mounted side impact airbag connectors.

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

- 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.

Test 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 in nonblended gasoline or greater than 85
percent with E85 blended gasoline for flexible fuel applications can cause 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.
Reference Information Special Tools
J 44175 - Fuel Composition Tester
System Verification
The fuel sample should be drawn from the bottom of the tank so that any water present in the tank
will be detected. The sample should be bright and clear.
If the sample appears cloudy, or contaminated with water, as indicated by a water layer at the
bottom of the sample, perform the Particulate Contaminants in Fuel Testing Procedure. If alcohol
contamination is suspected, perform the Alcohol in Fuel Testing procedure.
Alcohol in Fuel Testing with Special Tool
1. Test the fuel composition using J 44175 - Tester and Instruction Manual. 2. If water appears in
the fuel sample, clean the fuel system. 3. Subtract 50 from the reading on the DMM in order to
obtain the percentage of alcohol in the fuel sample. 4. If the nonblended gasoline fuel sample
measures more than 15 percent ethanol, or if the E85 blended gasoline fuel sample measures
more than 91
percent ethanol, add fresh regular gasoline to the vehicle's fuel tank.
5. Test the fuel composition. 6. If additional testing indicates that the ethanol percentage is still
above 15 percent for a nonblended gasoline sample, drain and replace the vehicle's
fuel. Refer to Fuel Tank Draining (See: Fuel Tank/Service and Repair/Procedures). If additional
testing indicates that the E85 blended gasoline sample still measures above 91 percent, continue
adding fresh, regular gasoline until the ethanol content is 85 percent or less.
Alcohol in Fuel Testing without Special Tool
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
1. Using an approved fuel container, draw approximately 0.5 liter (0.53 qt) of fuel.

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

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

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.

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.

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair
Engine Control Module Replacement
Removal Procedure
Caution: *
Turn the ignition OFF when installing or removing the control module connectors and disconnecting
or reconnecting the power to the control module (battery cable, powertrain control module
(PCM)/engine control module (ECM)/transaxle control module (TCM) pigtail, control module fuse,
jumper cables, etc.) in order to prevent internal control module damage.
* Control module damage may result when the metal case contacts battery voltage. DO NOT
contact the control module metal case with battery voltage when servicing a control module, using
battery booster cables, or when charging the vehicle battery.
* In order to prevent any possible electrostatic discharge damage to the control module, do no
touch the connector pins or the soldered components on the circuit board.
* Remove any debris from around the control module connector surfaces before servicing the
control module. Inspect the control module connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing the
control module. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminant
intrusion into the control module.
* The replacement control module must be programmed.
Note: It is necessary to record the remaining engine oil life. If the replacement module is not
programed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil life will default to 100 percent. If the
replacement module is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil will need
to be changed at 5 000 km (3,000 mi) from the last engine oil change.
1. Using a scan tool, retrieve the percentage of remaining engine oil. Record the remaining engine
oil life. 2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection
and Connection (See: Starting and
Charging/Battery/Battery Cable/Negative/Service and Repair/Battery Negative Cable
Disconnection and Connection).
3. Disconnect the body wiring harness electrical connector (1) from the engine control module
(ECM).
Page 7983
3. Disconnect the seat to body harness connector (1). Disconnect the seat airbag connector (2).
Note Note the wire colors on the seat airbag harness and body harness. Ensure that the wire
colors are matched when installing into the new connector.
4. Cut both wires from the body harness connector and seat airbag harness connector as close to
the connector housing (1) as possible to minimize
wire length loss. Slide the conduit away on the seat airbag harness and remove just enough tape
on the body harness to access the wires to install the terminals and seals.
Note Use caution when stripping insulation. Take care not to cut through the wire strands.
5. Slide the wire seals onto all four leads back enough to enable removal of the insulation. Install
the blue seals (1) on the body harness and the white
seals (2) on the seat airbag harness. Strip the insulation off all four leads 5 mm (3/16 in). Align the
seals with the wire insulation.

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

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-64-022 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
- The door ajar message stays on or comes on intermittently.
- The interior lights stay on or turn on intermittently.
- The content theft deterrent alarm goes off intermittently.
- RAP does not cancel when the door is opened allowing the radio, power windows, sunroof and
the compass to remain powered up.
- The battery is discharged.
Cause
These conditions may be caused by water intrusion into the door ajar switch (part of the door lock
assembly) which causes an incorrect switch status input to the BCM. This condition can be
intermittent and wet weather may aggravate this condition.
Correction
Use the following steps to aid in diagnosis of the concern.
Important DO NOT replace the body control module (BCM) for this concern.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) and monitor the door ajar switch inputs to the BCM. The Tech 2(R) lists the
left front door separately, then all passenger doors
together.
2. Check if a door ajar message is active with the doors closed. If this condition is not present,
washing the vehicle may induce the concern. Note that
the vehicle may have to sit for up to two hours.
3. If the concern is the RAP does not cancel when the left front door is opened, suspect the left
door lock assembly. If the door ajar message is active
on the passenger door, it could be any of the other doors.
4. Try opening and closing each passenger door one at a time while monitoring the door ajar status
to see if one of the doors will cause the message
to change to door closed. If it does, suspect that door lock.
5. If the message does not change, you can isolate which door is indicating ajar by disconnecting
the individual door electrical connector at the
pass-through on the pillar side. Always start with the right front door first. If the message changes
to door closed when the door is disconnected, suspect that door lock.
Once you have identified the suspect door, refer to SI for complete circuit testing. Refer to
Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle Access in SI.
Warranty Information
Important Use the appropriate labor operation for the repair performed.

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.

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

Description and Operation
Steering Wheel: Description and Operation
Steering Wheel and Column Description and Operation
The steering wheel and column has 4 primary functions:
* Heated Steering Wheel
* Vehicle steering
* Vehicle security
* Driver convenience
* Driver safety
Heated Steering Wheel
The heated steering wheel control module controls the heated steering wheel and the heated
steering wheel ON indicator based on an input from the heated steering wheel switch. When the
heated steering wheel switch is pressed, the switch signal circuit is pulled to ground. This indicates
to the heating steering wheel control module that steering wheel heat is requested. When the
request is seen, the heated steering wheel control module supplies ground to the indicator lamp
and supplies voltage to the heating elements, which are internal to the steering wheel. The heated
steering wheel temperature is monitored through an internal temperature sensor. When the
steering wheel reaches operating temperature the module will cycle the voltage on and off to
maintain the operating temperature.
Vehicle Steering
The steering wheel is the first link between the driver and the vehicle. The steering wheel is
fastened to a steering shaft within the column. At the lower end of the column, the intermediate
shaft connects the column to the steering gear.
Vehicle Security, Found on Some Vehicle Models
Theft deterrent components are mounted and designed into the steering column. The following
components allow the column to be locked in order to minimize theft:
* The ignition switch-location varies
* The steering column lock-content varies
* The ignition cylinder-location varies
* The theft deterrent module-location varies
Driver Convenience
The steering wheel and column may also have driver controls attached for convenience and
comfort. The following controls may be mounted on or near the steering wheel or column.
* The turn signal switch
* The hazard switch
* The headlamp dimmer switch
* The wiper/washer switch
* The horn pad/cruise control switch
* The redundant radio/entertainment system controls
* The manual/power tilt or tilt/telescoping functions
* The power pedal adjustment control switch
* The navigation/OnStar(R) features
* The HVAC controls
Driver Safety
The steering wheel and column has safety features to protect the driver. The following components
may be mounted on or near the steering column: Energy-Absorbing Steering Column
- The energy-absorbing steering column compresses in the event of a front-end collision, which
reduces the chance of injury to the driver. The energy-absorbing feature, collapsible steering shaft,
and break away mounting features help reduce the injury in the event of an accident. In addition to
these features, the following driver safety features may be on the steering column. To inspect the
steering column for damage, refer to Steering Column Accident Damage Inspection (See: Steering
Column/Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview).
Electronic Park Lock (EPL)/Ignition Lock Cylinder Control Actuator
- If the vehicle is equipped with automatic transmission and a floor mounted console gear shift, it
has an ignition lock cylinder control actuator system in the steering column. The ignition lock
cylinder control actuator purpose is to prevent the ignition key from being turned to the OFF
position when the transmission is in any position other than PARK and the vehicle may still be
moving. The column ignition lock system consists

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

Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Note: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter. There have
been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is
the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to
use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper
diagnosis.
Note: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical
center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.
Refer to the following table as a guide in selecting the correct test adapter for front probing
connectors:
Backprobe
Note:
* Backprobe connector terminals only when specifically required in diagnostic procedures.
* Do not backprobe a sealed (Weather Pack(R)) connector, less than a 280 series Metri-Pack
connector, a Micro-Pack connector, or a flat wire
Specifications
Compression Check: Specifications
Engine Compression Test
The minimum compression in any 1 cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest
cylinder. No cylinder should read less than 690 kPa (100 psi). For example, if the highest pressure
in any 1 cylinder is 1 035 kPa (150 psi), the lowest allowable pressure for any other cylinder would
be 725 kPa (105 psi). (1 035 x 70% = 725) (150 x 70% = 105).

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

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

model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 09-06-03-004C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment on any of the following conditions:
- An intermittent no crank/no start
- Intermittent malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illumination
- Intermittent service lamp illumination
- Intermittent service message(s) being displayed
The technician may determine that he is unable to duplicate the intermittent condition.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a buildup of nonconductive insulating oxidized debris known as
fretting corrosion, occurring between two electrical contact surfaces of the connection or connector.
This may be caused by any of the following conditions:
- Vibration
- Thermal cycling
- Poor connection/terminal retention
- Micro motion
- A connector, component or wiring harness not properly secured resulting in movement
On low current signal circuits this condition may cause high resistance, resulting in intermittent
connections.
On high current power circuits this condition may cause permanent increases in the resistance and
may cause a device to become inoperative.

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

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

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

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

4. Set up the lathe, following the manufacturer's instructions. 5. Refinish the brake rotor, following
the brake lathe manufacturer's instructions. 6. After each successive cut, inspect the brake rotor
thickness. Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness Measurement (See: Brake Rotor Thickness
Measurement).
7. If at any time the brake rotor exceeds the minimum allowable thickness after refinish
specification, the brake rotor must be replaced. After
replacing the rotor, proceed to step 10.
8. After refinishing the brake rotor, use the following procedure in order to obtain the desired
non-directional finish:
1. Follow the brake lathe manufacturer's recommended speed setting for applying a non-directional
finish. 2. Using moderate pressure, apply the non-directional finish:
* If the lathe is equipped with a non-directional finishing tool, apply the finish with 120-grit aluminum
oxide sandpaper.
* If the lathe is not equipped with a non-directional finishing tool, apply the finish with a sanding
block and 150-grit aluminum oxide sandpaper.
3. After applying a non-directional finish, clean each friction surface of the brake rotor with
denatured alcohol, or an equivalent approved brake
cleaner.
9. Remove the lathe from the vehicle.
10. Measure the assembled LRO of the brake rotor. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral
Runout Measurement (See: Brake Rotor Assembled

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

Caution
Use only the GM-approved replacement fasteners with conductive finish for electrical ground
repair.
1. If the electrical ground location is accessible from both sides of the panel, a M6 conductive bolt
and a M6 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 damaged M6 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 8.5 mm (0.33 in) diameter hole through the panel. 5. Remove paint and primer from the
area surrounding the 8.5 mm (0.33 in) hole until bare metal is visible. 6. Select a M6 conductive

Caster Description
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.

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

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

GMLAN Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/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 gauge size
(0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gauge
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- 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 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Falls Off and Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Drive Belt Falls Off and Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
If the drive belt repeatedly falls off the drive belt pulleys, this is because of pulley misalignment.
An extra load that is quickly applied on released by an accessory drive component may cause the
drive belt to fall off the pulleys. Verify the accessory drive components operate properly.
If the drive belt is the incorrect length, the drive belt tensioner may not keep the proper tension on
the drive belt.
Excessive wear on a drive belt is usually caused by an incorrect installation or the wrong drive belt
for the application.
Minor misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will not cause excessive wear, but will probably cause
the drive belt to make a noise or to fall off.
Excessive misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear but may also make the
drive belt fall off.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. This inspection is to verify
the condition of the drive belt. Damage may of occurred to the drive belt when the drive belt fell off.
The drive belt may of been damaged, which caused the drive belt to fall off. Inspect the belt for
cuts, tears, sections of ribs missing, or damaged belt plys. 4. Misalignment of the pulleys may be
caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive component, incorrect installation of the
accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair.
Test for a misaligned pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across 2 or 3 pulleys. If a
misaligned pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation
procedure of that pulley. 5. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a
dent or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not seating properly in all
of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is used to
drive the pulley. 6. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked will let the drive
belt fall off. 7. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer,
or washer was installed. Missing. loose, or the wrong fasteners may cause pulley misalignment
from the bracket moving under load. Over tightening of the fasteners may cause misalignment of
the accessory component bracket. 13. The inspection is to verify the drive belt is correctly installed
on all of the drive belt pulleys. Wear on the drive belt may be caused by mis-positioning the drive
belt by one groove on a pulley. 14. The installation of a drive belt that is too wide or too narrow will
cause wear on the drive belt. The drive belt ribs should match all of the grooves on all of the
pulleys. 15. This inspection is to verify the drive belt is not contacting any parts of the engine or
body while the engine is operating. There should be sufficient clearance when the drive belt
accessory drive components load varies. The drive belt should not come in contact with an engine
or a body component when snapping the throttle.

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.

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

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

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

(Diagnose/Repair Door Lock Assembly/Circuit)
Models:
2006-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2006-2009 Pontiac G6 2006-2009 Saturn AURA
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-64-022 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
- The door ajar message stays on or comes on intermittently.
- The interior lights stay on or turn on intermittently.
- The content theft deterrent alarm goes off intermittently.
- RAP does not cancel when the door is opened allowing the radio, power windows, sunroof and
the compass to remain powered up.
- The battery is discharged.
Cause
These conditions may be caused by water intrusion into the door ajar switch (part of the door lock
assembly) which causes an incorrect switch status input to the BCM. This condition can be
intermittent and wet weather may aggravate this condition.
Correction
Use the following steps to aid in diagnosis of the concern.
Important DO NOT replace the body control module (BCM) for this concern.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) and monitor the door ajar switch inputs to the BCM. The Tech 2(R) lists the
left front door separately, then all passenger doors
together.
2. Check if a door ajar message is active with the doors closed. If this condition is not present,
washing the vehicle may induce the concern. Note that
the vehicle may have to sit for up to two hours.
3. If the concern is the RAP does not cancel when the left front door is opened, suspect the left
door lock assembly. If the door ajar message is active
on the passenger door, it could be any of the other doors.
4. Try opening and closing each passenger door one at a time while monitoring the door ajar status
to see if one of the doors will cause the message
to change to door closed. If it does, suspect that door lock.
5. If the message does not change, you can isolate which door is indicating ajar by disconnecting
the individual door electrical connector at the
pass-through on the pillar side. Always start with the right front door first. If the message changes
to door closed when the door is disconnected, suspect that door lock.
Once you have identified the suspect door, refer to SI for complete circuit testing. Refer to
Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle Access in SI.
Warranty Information
Important Use the appropriate labor operation for the repair performed.

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

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.

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

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

Condition
Some customers may comment about musty odors emitted from the Heating, Ventilation and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) system at vehicle start-up in hot, humid conditions.
Cause
This condition may be caused by condensate build-up on the evaporator core, which does not
evaporate by itself in high humidity conditions. The odor may be the result of microbial growth on
the evaporator core. When the blower motor fan is turned on, the microbial growth may release an
unpleasant musty odor into the passenger compartment.
There are several other possible sources of a musty odor in a vehicle. A common source is a water
leak into the interior of the vehicle or foreign material in the HVAC air distribution system. Follow
the procedures in SI for identifying and correcting water leaks and air inlet inspection.
The procedure contained in this bulletin is only applicable if the odor source has been determined
to be microbial growth on the evaporator core inside the HVAC module.
Correction
Many vehicles currently incorporate an afterblow function within the HVAC control module
software. The afterblow feature, when enabled, employs the HVAC blower fan to dry the
evaporator after vehicle shut down and this function will inhibit microbial growth. Technicians are to
confirm that the customer concern is evaporator core odor and that the vehicle has the imbedded
afterblow feature, as defined in the SI document for that specific vehicle model, model year and
specific HVAC option. Refer to SI for enabling the afterblow function. Vehicles being delivered in
areas prone to high humidity conditions may benefit from having the afterblow enabled calibration
installed prior to any customer comment.
Important If the vehicle is not factory equipped with the imbedded afterblow enable feature, it may
be added with the Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module Kit (P/N 12497910 or AC Delco 15-5876).
Important When installing the Electronic Evaporator Dryer Module, you MUST use the included
electrical splice connectors to ensure a proper splice. Complete detailed installation instructions
and self testing procedures are supplied with the kit. If necessary, the Electronic Evaporator Dryer
Module may be installed underhood if it is protected from extreme heat and water splash areas.
To immediately remove the evaporator core odor on all suspect vehicles, it is necessary to
eliminate the microbial growth and prevent its re-occurrence. To accomplish this, perform the
following procedure:
Vehicle and Applicator Tool Preparation
1. The evaporator core must be dry. This may be accomplished by disabling the compressor and
running the blower fan on the recirc heat setting for
an extended period of time.
Note Compressor engagement will cause the evaporator core to remain wet and will prevent full
adherence of the Coiling Coil Coating to the evaporator core surfaces.
2. Verify that the air conditioning drain hose is not clogged and place a drain pan beneath the
vehicle.

The purpose of this bulletin is to provide a reference guide to help identify which season odometer
programming method to use after replacing the instrument panel cluster (IPC). The three season
odometer programming methods in use today are listed below. In addition, this reference guide lists
the component where the season odometer value is stored. The season odometer value may be
stored in the IPC, the driver information center (DIC) or the integrated body control module (IBCM),
also commonly called a body control module (BCM).
Season Odometer Programming Methods in Use Today
1. IPC reprogramming and setup using the service programming system (SPS). 2. Odometer setup
at the electronic service center (ESC) when using an exchange IPC/DIC. 3. Tech 2(R) - The Tech 2
is used to set up a replacement BCM, which includes loading the odometer value that is displayed
and stored in the IPC. A
replacement IPC will display the previously stored vehicle odometer value, communicated from the
BCM, after cycling the ignition or driving the vehicle. *The odometer programming is integrated as
part of the BCM programming procedure. It is not a stand-alone event.

Wander is the undesired drifting or deviation of a vehicle to either side from a straight path with
hand pressure on the steering wheel. Wander is a symptom of the vehicle's sensitivity to external
disturbances, such as road crown and crosswind, and accentuated by poor on-center steering feel.
Scrub Radius Description
Scrub Radius Description
Ideally, the scrub radius is as small as possible. Normally, the SAI angle and the centerline of the
tire and the wheel intersect below the road surface, causing a positive scrub radius. With struts, the
SAI angle is much larger than the long arm/short arm type of suspension. This allows the SAI angle
to intersect the camber angle above the road surface, forming a negative scrub radius. The smaller
the scrub radius, the better the directional stability. Installing aftermarket wheels that have
additional offset will dramatically increase the scrub radius. The newly installed wheels may cause
the centerline of the tires to move further away from the spindle. This will increase the scrub radius.
A large amount of scrub radius can cause severe shimmy after hitting a bump. Four-wheel drive
vehicles with large tires use a steering damper to compensate for an increased scrub radius. Scrub
radius is not directly measurable by the conventional methods. Scrub radius is projected
geometrically by engineers during the design phase of the suspension.

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

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

Campaign - Service Air Bag Message, Replace Connectors
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Bulletin No.: 11034
Date: March 14, 2011
Subject: 11034 - Service Air Bag Message - Replace Connectors
Models:
2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2010 Pontiac G6
Some, but not all, of the vehicles involved in this Program were also involved in Customer
Satisfaction Program (CSP) 10085. These vehicles are to be inspected to determine if the repair for
CSP 10085 included the replacement of the two connectors. If the connectors were replaced, no
further action is required on these vehicles. If they were not replaced, dealers are to install the new
connectors.
Condition
Certain 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles may have a condition in which
wear could lead to corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the body
main wiring harness and the front driver and passenger side impact airbag. Over time, the wear
may result in a resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG system warning message in the
Driver Information Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully functional.
Over time, and if the SERVICE AIR BAG system DIC warning message is ignored, the resistance
could increase to a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when commanded in
a side impact crash.
Some of these vehicles were previously repaired under Customer Satisfaction Program 10085.
These vehicles had the wire harness secured, and in some cases, rerouted. They did not require
the installation of the two connectors. However, there have been reports of the SERVICE AIR BAG
message illuminating in the Driver Information Center after the repair, due to movement of the
connector between the body main wiring harness and the front driver and passenger side impact
air bag. With this Customer Satisfaction Program, dealers will install the two new connectors.
Correction
Dealers are to inspect and, if necessary, replace the front seat-mounted side impact air bag
connectors.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles.
Important Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Required
Field Actions section in the Global Warranty Management system. Not all vehicles may be
involved.
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle
identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be
provided to US and Canadian dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports, or sent
directly to export dealers. Dealers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles
currently assigned.
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.
Parts Information
Parts required to complete this program are to be obtained from General Motors Customer Care
and Aftersales (GMCC&A;). Please refer to your "involved vehicles listing" before ordering parts.
Normal orders should be placed on a DRO = Daily Replenishment Order. In an emergency

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools.
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are a one time protection device and must be replaced each time
the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine if
the element in the fuse is broken (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a Digital
Multimeter (DMM) or a continuity tester. If the element is broken or continuity is suspect, replace
the fuse with one of equal current rating.

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

Installation Procedure
Page 1095
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

Description and Operation
Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
Camshaft Actuator System Description
Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator System
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is an electro-hydraulic operated device used for a
variety of engine performance and operational enhancements. These enhancements include lower
emission output through exhaust gas dilution of the intake charge in the combustion chamber, a
broader engine torque range, and improved fuel economy. The CMP actuator system
accomplishes this by changing the angle or timing of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft
position. The CMP actuator simply allows earlier or later intake and exhaust valve opening during
the four stroke engine cycle. The CMP actuator cannot vary the duration of valve opening, or the
valve lift.
During engine OFF, engine idling conditions, and engine shutdown, the camshaft actuator is held in
the Park position. Internal to the CMP actuator assembly is a return spring and a locking pin.
During non-phasing modes of the camshaft, the return spring rotates the camshaft back to the Park
position, and the locking pin retains the CMP actuator sprocket to the camshaft.
CMP Actuator System Operation
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is controlled by the engine control module (ECM).
The ECM sends a signal to a CMP actuator solenoid in order to control the amount of engine oil
flow to a Cam Actuator passage. The pressurized engine oil is sent to unseat the locking pin, and
to the vane and rotor assembly of the CMP actuator. There are 2 different passages for oil to flow
through, a passage for cam advance and a passage for cam retard. The Cam Actuator is attached
to a camshaft and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle of the camshaft relative to
crankshaft position (CKP). Engine oil pressure (EOP), viscosity, temperature and engine oil level
can have an adverse affect on Cam Actuator performance.

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

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor Learn
Special Tools
J-46079 Tire Pressure Monitor Diagnostic Tool
Learn Mode Description
The tire pressure monitor (TPM) system uses the instrument panel cluster (IPC), body control
module (BCM), remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR), keyless entry transmitter, 4 radio
frequency transmitting pressure sensors, and the serial data circuit to perform the TPM learn mode
functions. The sensor learn procedure must be performed after every tire rotation, RCDLR
replacement, or sensor replacement. Once the learn mode has been enabled, each of the sensors
unique identification codes can be learned into the RCDLR memory. When a sensor ID has been
learned, the RCDLR sends a serial data message to the BCM to sound a horn chirp. This verifies
the sensor has transmitted its ID and the RCDLR has received and learned it. The RCDLR must
learn the sensor IDs in the proper sequence to determine correct sensor location. The first learned
ID is assigned to the left front location, the second to right front, the third to right rear and the fourth
to left rear. The turn signals will individually illuminate indicating which location is to be learned in
the proper sequence.
Sensor Functions Using J-46079
Each sensor has an internal low frequency coil. When the J-46079 is used in activate mode, it
produces a low frequency transmission that activates the sensor. The sensor responds to a low
frequency activation by transmitting in learn mode. When the RCDLR receives a learn mode
transmission while in TPM learn mode, it will assign that sensors ID to the location on the vehicle
relative to the order in which it was learned.
Sensor Functions Using Pressure Increase/Decrease Method
Each sensor takes a pressure measurement sample once every 30 seconds while in stationary
mode. If the tire pressure increases, or decreases by more than 8.3 kPa (1.2 psi) from the last
pressure measurement, another measurement will occur immediately to verify the change in
pressure. If a pressure change has indeed occurred, the sensor transmits in Learn mode. When
the RCDLR receives a Learn mode transmission while in TPM learn mode, it will assign that
sensor's ID to the location on the vehicle relative to the order in which it was learned.
Learn Mode Cancellation
The learn mode will cancel if the ignition is cycled to OFF or if more than 2 minutes has elapsed for
any sensor that has not been learned. If the learn mode is cancelled before the first sensor is
learned, the original sensor IDs will be maintained. If the learn mode is canceled after the first
sensor is learned, the following will occur:
* All stored sensor IDs will be invalidated in the RCDLR memory.
* If equipped, the DIC will display dashes instead of tire pressures.
* DTC C0775 will be set.
These conditions will now require the learn procedure to be repeated for the system to function
properly.
TPM Learn Procedure
Note: If using the scan tool to enable the learn mode, the J-46079 must be used to activate the
sensors. When this preferred method is used, any stray sensor signals will not affect the learn
procedure. In the event a particular sensor's information is displayed on the special tool upon
activation but the horn does not chirp, it may be necessary to rotate the wheel valve stem to a
different position due to the sensor signal is being blocked by another component.
If using the keyless entry transmitter or DIC buttons to enable the learn mode, the J-46079 or
Pressure Increase/Decrease Method may be used. Before proceeding with this method, ensure
that no other learn procedure is being performed simultaneously or that tire pressures are not being
adjusted on another TPM equipped vehicle within close proximity. Stray signals from other TPM
equipped vehicles just driving by can be inadvertently learned. If any random horn chirps are heard
from the vehicle while performing the learn procedure, most likely a stray sensor has been learned
and the procedure will need to be cancelled and repeated. Under these circumstances, performing
the TPM Learn Procedure away from other vehicles would be highly recommended. In the event a
particular sensor activation does not cause the horn to chirp, it may be necessary to rotate the
wheel valve stem to a different position due to the sensor signal is being blocked by another
component.
Preferred Scan Tool Learn Enable Method
1. Using a scan tool, initiate the TPM Learn Mode. A double horn chirp will sound indicating the
Learn Mode has been enabled. The left front turn
signal will also be illuminated.
2. Starting with the left front tire, active the sensor by holding the antenna of the J-46079 aimed
upward against the tire sidewall close to the wheel
rim at the valve stem location. Press and release the Activate button and wait for a horn chirp.
Once the horn chirp has sounded, the sensor information is learned and the turn signal in the next
location to be learned will illuminate.

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.

1. Use a proper hand reamer, carbide cutter or drill bit to ream the puncture channel from the inside
of the tire in order to clean the injury. 2. Remove steel wires protruding above the liner surface to
prevent damage to the repair unit. 3. Consult your repair material supplier for recommended
reaming tool(s).
Fill the Injury
1. It is necessary to fill the injury channel to provide back up for the repair unit and to prevent
moisture from entering the tire fabric and steel wires. 2. (For combination repair/plug units skip this
step.) Cement the injured channel and fill the injury from the inside of the tire with the repair plug
per
repair material manufacturer's recommendations. Without stretching the plug, cut the plug off just
above the inside tire surface.
3. Consult your repair material supplier for proper repair material selection.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Pigtail repair packs are available for SIR/SRS connectors with eight or less terminals. Only the
connector body is available for connectors with more than eight terminals. The terminated leads in
the J-38125 SIR/SRS Terminal Repair Kit can be used to replace damaged terminals when
replacing the connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Wiring Repairs)
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gauge size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice
crimping tool from the J-38125 Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the
integrity of the DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- 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.

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

5. Install the exhaust manifold heat shield and bolts. Tighten the bolts to 10 Nm (89 lb in).
Note: A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of
graphite suspended in fluid and glass beads. The graphite will burn away, but the glass beads will
remain, making the sensor easier to remove. New or service sensors will already have the
compound applied to the threads. If a sensor is removed from an engine and is to be reinstalled,
the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the reinstallation.
6. Coat the threads of the HO2S with anti-seize compound. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants,
and Sealers (See: Specifications/Fluid Type
Specifications)

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

OUTLOOK
Supercede: The Service Procedure in this bulletin has been revised. All vehicles will not require the
replacement of the front seat-mounted side impact airbag connectors.Please discard all copies of
bulletin 10085C, issued November 2010.
Condition
Certain 2008 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK vehicles, and 2010
model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles may experience wear which could lead to
corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the body main wiring harness
and the front driver and passenger side impact air bag. Over time, the wear may result in a
resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG System warning message in the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully functional. Over time, and if
the SERVICE AIR BAG System DIC warning message is ignored, the resistance could increase to
a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when commanded in a side impact
crash.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the front seat-mounted side impact airbag connectors.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2008 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK
vehicles, and 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles built within these VIN
breakpoints:
Important Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Required
Field Actions section in the Global Warranty system. Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints
may be involved.
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle
identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be
provided to US and Canadian dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports, or sent
directly to export dealers. Dealers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles
currently assigned.
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.

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

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.

(Diagnose/Repair Door Lock Assembly/Circuit)
Models:
2006-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2006-2009 Pontiac G6 2006-2009 Saturn AURA
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-64-022 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
- The door ajar message stays on or comes on intermittently.
- The interior lights stay on or turn on intermittently.
- The content theft deterrent alarm goes off intermittently.
- RAP does not cancel when the door is opened allowing the radio, power windows, sunroof and
the compass to remain powered up.
- The battery is discharged.
Cause
These conditions may be caused by water intrusion into the door ajar switch (part of the door lock
assembly) which causes an incorrect switch status input to the BCM. This condition can be
intermittent and wet weather may aggravate this condition.
Correction
Use the following steps to aid in diagnosis of the concern.
Important DO NOT replace the body control module (BCM) for this concern.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) and monitor the door ajar switch inputs to the BCM. The Tech 2(R) lists the
left front door separately, then all passenger doors
together.
2. Check if a door ajar message is active with the doors closed. If this condition is not present,
washing the vehicle may induce the concern. Note that
the vehicle may have to sit for up to two hours.
3. If the concern is the RAP does not cancel when the left front door is opened, suspect the left
door lock assembly. If the door ajar message is active
on the passenger door, it could be any of the other doors.
4. Try opening and closing each passenger door one at a time while monitoring the door ajar status
to see if one of the doors will cause the message
to change to door closed. If it does, suspect that door lock.
5. If the message does not change, you can isolate which door is indicating ajar by disconnecting
the individual door electrical connector at the
pass-through on the pillar side. Always start with the right front door first. If the message changes
to door closed when the door is disconnected, suspect that door lock.
Once you have identified the suspect door, refer to SI for complete circuit testing. Refer to
Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle Access in SI.

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are a one time protection device and must be replaced each time
the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine if
the element in the fuse is broken (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a Digital
Multimeter (DMM) or a continuity tester. If the element is broken or continuity is suspect, replace
the fuse with one of equal current rating.

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

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor Learn
Special Tools
J-46079 Tire Pressure Monitor Diagnostic Tool
Learn Mode Description
The tire pressure monitor (TPM) system uses the instrument panel cluster (IPC), body control
module (BCM), remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR), keyless entry transmitter, 4 radio
frequency transmitting pressure sensors, and the serial data circuit to perform the TPM learn mode
functions. The sensor learn procedure must be performed after every tire rotation, RCDLR
replacement, or sensor replacement. Once the learn mode has been enabled, each of the sensors
unique identification codes can be learned into the RCDLR memory. When a sensor ID has been
learned, the RCDLR sends a serial data message to the BCM to sound a horn chirp. This verifies
the sensor has transmitted its ID and the RCDLR has received and learned it. The RCDLR must
learn the sensor IDs in the proper sequence to determine correct sensor location. The first learned
ID is assigned to the left front location, the second to right front, the third to right rear and the fourth
to left rear. The turn signals will individually illuminate indicating which location is to be learned in
the proper sequence.
Sensor Functions Using J-46079
Each sensor has an internal low frequency coil. When the J-46079 is used in activate mode, it
produces a low frequency transmission that activates the sensor. The sensor responds to a low
frequency activation by transmitting in learn mode. When the RCDLR receives a learn mode
transmission while in TPM learn mode, it will assign that sensors ID to the location on the vehicle
relative to the order in which it was learned.
Sensor Functions Using Pressure Increase/Decrease Method
Each sensor takes a pressure measurement sample once every 30 seconds while in stationary
mode. If the tire pressure increases, or decreases by more than 8.3 kPa (1.2 psi) from the last
pressure measurement, another measurement will occur immediately to verify the change in
pressure. If a pressure change has indeed occurred, the sensor transmits in Learn mode. When
the RCDLR receives a Learn mode transmission while in TPM learn mode, it will assign that
sensor's ID to the location on the vehicle relative to the order in which it was learned.
Learn Mode Cancellation
The learn mode will cancel if the ignition is cycled to OFF or if more than 2 minutes has elapsed for
any sensor that has not been learned. If the learn mode is cancelled before the first sensor is
learned, the original sensor IDs will be maintained. If the learn mode is canceled after the first
sensor is learned, the following will occur:
* All stored sensor IDs will be invalidated in the RCDLR memory.
* If equipped, the DIC will display dashes instead of tire pressures.
* DTC C0775 will be set.
These conditions will now require the learn procedure to be repeated for the system to function
properly.
TPM Learn Procedure
Note: If using the scan tool to enable the learn mode, the J-46079 must be used to activate the
sensors. When this preferred method is used, any stray sensor signals will not affect the learn
procedure. In the event a particular sensor's information is displayed on the special tool upon
activation but the horn does not chirp, it may be necessary to rotate the wheel valve stem to a
different position due to the sensor signal is being blocked by another component.
If using the keyless entry transmitter or DIC buttons to enable the learn mode, the J-46079 or
Pressure Increase/Decrease Method may be used. Before proceeding with this method, ensure
that no other learn procedure is being performed simultaneously or that tire pressures are not being
adjusted on another TPM equipped vehicle within close proximity. Stray signals from other TPM
equipped vehicles just driving by can be inadvertently learned. If any random horn chirps are heard
from the vehicle while performing the learn procedure, most likely a stray sensor has been learned
and the procedure will need to be cancelled and repeated. Under these circumstances, performing
the TPM Learn Procedure away from other vehicles would be highly recommended. In the event a
particular sensor activation does not cause the horn to chirp, it may be necessary to rotate the
wheel valve stem to a different position due to the sensor signal is being blocked by another
component.
Preferred Scan Tool Learn Enable Method
1. Using a scan tool, initiate the TPM Learn Mode. A double horn chirp will sound indicating the
Learn Mode has been enabled. The left front turn
signal will also be illuminated.
2. Starting with the left front tire, active the sensor by holding the antenna of the J-46079 aimed
upward against the tire sidewall close to the wheel
rim at the valve stem location. Press and release the Activate button and wait for a horn chirp.
Once the horn chirp has sounded, the sensor information is learned and the turn signal in the next
location to be learned will illuminate.

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.

Description and Operation
Electronic Throttle Actuator: Description and Operation
Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System Description
The engine control module (ECM) is the control center for the throttle actuator control (TAC)
system. The ECM determines the driver's intent based on input from the accelerator pedal position
sensors, then calculates the appropriate throttle response based on the throttle position sensors.
The ECM achieves throttle positioning by providing a pulse width modulated voltage to the throttle
actuator motor. The throttle blade is spring loaded in both directions, and the default position is
slightly open.
Modes Of Operation
Normal Mode
During the operation of the TAC system, several modes, or functions, are considered normal. The
following modes may be entered during normal operations:
* Minimum pedal value-At key-up, the ECM updates the learned minimum pedal value.
* Minimum throttle position values-At key-up, the ECM updates the learned minimum throttle
position value. In order to learn the minimum throttle position value, the throttle blade is moved to
the Closed position.
* Ice break mode-If the throttle blade is not able to reach a predetermined minimum throttle
position, the ice break mode is entered. During the ice break mode, the ECM commands the
maximum pulse width several times to the throttle actuator motor in the closing direction.
* Minimum pedal value-At key-up, the ECM updates the learned minimum pedal value.
* Battery saver mode-After a predetermined time without engine RPM, the ECM commands the
Battery Saver mode. During the Battery Saver mode, the TAC module removes the voltage from
the motor control circuits, which removes the current draw used to maintain the idle position and
allows the throttle to return to the spring loaded default position.
Reduced Engine Power Mode
When the ECM detects a condition with the TAC system, the ECM may enter a reduced engine
power mode. Reduced engine power may cause one or more of the following conditions:
* Acceleration limiting-The ECM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control,
however, the vehicle acceleration is limited.
* Limited throttle mode-The ECM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control,
however, the maximum throttle opening is limited.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor Learn
Special Tools
J-46079 Tire Pressure Monitor Diagnostic Tool
Learn Mode Description
The tire pressure monitor (TPM) system uses the instrument panel cluster (IPC), body control
module (BCM), remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR), keyless entry transmitter, 4 radio
frequency transmitting pressure sensors, and the serial data circuit to perform the TPM learn mode
functions. The sensor learn procedure must be performed after every tire rotation, RCDLR
replacement, or sensor replacement. Once the learn mode has been enabled, each of the sensors
unique identification codes can be learned into the RCDLR memory. When a sensor ID has been
learned, the RCDLR sends a serial data message to the BCM to sound a horn chirp. This verifies
the sensor has transmitted its ID and the RCDLR has received and learned it. The RCDLR must
learn the sensor IDs in the proper sequence to determine correct sensor location. The first learned
ID is assigned to the left front location, the second to right front, the third to right rear and the fourth
to left rear. The turn signals will individually illuminate indicating which location is to be learned in
the proper sequence.
Sensor Functions Using J-46079
Each sensor has an internal low frequency coil. When the J-46079 is used in activate mode, it
produces a low frequency transmission that activates the sensor. The sensor responds to a low
frequency activation by transmitting in learn mode. When the RCDLR receives a learn mode
transmission while in TPM learn mode, it will assign that sensors ID to the location on the vehicle
relative to the order in which it was learned.
Sensor Functions Using Pressure Increase/Decrease Method
Each sensor takes a pressure measurement sample once every 30 seconds while in stationary
mode. If the tire pressure increases, or decreases by more than 8.3 kPa (1.2 psi) from the last
pressure measurement, another measurement will occur immediately to verify the change in
pressure. If a pressure change has indeed occurred, the sensor transmits in Learn mode. When
the RCDLR receives a Learn mode transmission while in TPM learn mode, it will assign that
sensor's ID to the location on the vehicle relative to the order in which it was learned.
Learn Mode Cancellation
The learn mode will cancel if the ignition is cycled to OFF or if more than 2 minutes has elapsed for
any sensor that has not been learned. If the learn mode is cancelled before the first sensor is
learned, the original sensor IDs will be maintained. If the learn mode is canceled after the first
sensor is learned, the following will occur:
* All stored sensor IDs will be invalidated in the RCDLR memory.
* If equipped, the DIC will display dashes instead of tire pressures.
* DTC C0775 will be set.
These conditions will now require the learn procedure to be repeated for the system to function
properly.
TPM Learn Procedure
Note: If using the scan tool to enable the learn mode, the J-46079 must be used to activate the
sensors. When this preferred method is used, any stray sensor signals will not affect the learn
procedure. In the event a particular sensor's information is displayed on the special tool upon
activation but the horn does not chirp, it may be necessary to rotate the wheel valve stem to a
different position due to the sensor signal is being blocked by another component.
If using the keyless entry transmitter or DIC buttons to enable the learn mode, the J-46079 or
Pressure Increase/Decrease Method may be used. Before proceeding with this method, ensure
that no other learn procedure is being performed simultaneously or that tire pressures are not being
adjusted on another TPM equipped vehicle within close proximity. Stray signals from other TPM
equipped vehicles just driving by can be inadvertently learned. If any random horn chirps are heard
from the vehicle while performing the learn procedure, most likely a stray sensor has been learned
and the procedure will need to be cancelled and repeated. Under these circumstances, performing
the TPM Learn Procedure away from other vehicles would be highly recommended. In the event a
particular sensor activation does not cause the horn to chirp, it may be necessary to rotate the
wheel valve stem to a different position due to the sensor signal is being blocked by another
component.
Preferred Scan Tool Learn Enable Method
1. Using a scan tool, initiate the TPM Learn Mode. A double horn chirp will sound indicating the
Learn Mode has been enabled. The left front turn
signal will also be illuminated.
2. Starting with the left front tire, active the sensor by holding the antenna of the J-46079 aimed
upward against the tire sidewall close to the wheel
rim at the valve stem location. Press and release the Activate button and wait for a horn chirp.
Once the horn chirp has sounded, the sensor information is learned and the turn signal in the next
location to be learned will illuminate.

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.

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.)

LZ4, LZ9 or LZE V6 Engine
Condition
Some customers may comment on poor A/C cooling performance.
Technicians may find that the cooling fan fuse is blown.
Cause
High cooling fan start up loads may cause the 30-amp cooling fan fuse, located in the underhood
fuse block, to blow. The lack of air flow through the A/C condenser, caused by the inoperative
high-speed cooling fan, may affect the condenser's ability to dissipate heat.
Correction
Use the following procedure to install a heavier gauge power feed wire from the underhood fuse
block to the cooling fan. After the wiring update is completed, replace the 30-amp cooling fan fuse
in the underhood fuse block with a 40-amp fuse.
1. Disconnect and remove the battery. Refer to Battery Replacement in SI. 2. Remove the
windshield washer fill tube. Refer to Windshield Washer Solvent Container Filler Tube
Replacement in SI. 3. Disconnect the underhood fuse block from it's mounting base. Refer to

only necessary to raise the fuse block enough to access the harness connectors. Do not remove
the complete assembly from the vehicle.
4. Locate the engine wiring harness junction block assembly (X1) on the back (underside) of the
underhood fuse block and disconnect it from the
underhood fuse block. Refer to Electrical Center Identification Views, Fuse Block Underhood
Bottom View in SI.
5. Find pin A2, Circuit 532, cooling fan motor supply voltage. Refer to Electrical Center
Identification Views, Fuse Block-Underhood X1 in SI. 6. Remove the harness back cover. Remove
the TPA (terminal position assurance) clip and remove connector A2 from the junction block. Cut
the

Pigtail repair packs are available for SIR/SRS connectors with eight or less terminals. Only the
connector body is available for connectors with more than eight terminals. The terminated leads in
the J-38125 SIR/SRS Terminal Repair Kit can be used to replace damaged terminals when
replacing the connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Wiring Repairs)
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gauge size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice
crimping tool from the J-38125 Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the
integrity of the DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
Page 9668
9. Insert the J 38125-12A tool to release the terminals by inserting the tool into the terminal release
cavity. See the release tool cross reference in the
Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector.
Always remember never use force when pulling a
terminal out of a connector.
Repair Procedure
Use the appropriate terminal and follow the instructions in the J-38125.
Location of the terminal in the repair tray and the proper crimp tool can be found in the appropriate
connector end view.

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

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

Removal Procedure
Caution: With wheels of the vehicle facing straight ahead, secure the steering wheel utilizing
steering column anti-rotation pin, steering column lock, or a strap to prevent rotation. Locking of the
steering column will prevent damage and a possible malfunction of the SIR system. The steering
wheel must be secured in position before disconnecting the following components:
* The steering column
* The intermediate shaft(s)
* The steering gear
After disconnecting these components, do not rotate the steering wheel or move the front tires and
wheels. Failure to follow this procedure may cause the SIR coil assembly to become UN-centered
and cause possible damage to the SIR coil. If you think the SIR coil has became UN-centered,
refer to your specific SIR coil's centering procedure to re-center SIR Coil.
1. With the wheels of the vehicle in the straight ahead position, secure the steering wheel or the
steering column with a steering column anti-rotation
pin, a steering column lock, or a strap, as applicable, in order to prevent rotation.
Note: Identify the type of steering wheel position sensor from the illustrations shown BEFORE
removing the sensor from the steering column. Once you have identified the steering wheel
position sensor, follow the instructions listed in the removal procedure.
2. Verify the type of steering wheel position sensor.
3. From the technicians point of view of the FRONT of the sensor (1), the connector will be on the
right.
Note: If you are reusing the existing sensor, you do not have to align the sensor before removal.
Centering is not necessary in order to install the old sensor.
4. Remove the connector from the sensor. 5. Remove the sensor from the adapter and bearing
assembly. 6. To install the sensor, proceed to step 1 in the installation procedure.

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

Technical Service Bulletin # 11034 Date: 110314
Campaign - Service Air Bag Message, Replace Connectors
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Bulletin No.: 11034
Date: March 14, 2011
Subject: 11034 - Service Air Bag Message - Replace Connectors
Models:
2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2010 Pontiac G6
Some, but not all, of the vehicles involved in this Program were also involved in Customer
Satisfaction Program (CSP) 10085. These vehicles are to be inspected to determine if the repair for
CSP 10085 included the replacement of the two connectors. If the connectors were replaced, no
further action is required on these vehicles. If they were not replaced, dealers are to install the new
connectors.
Condition
Certain 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles may have a condition in which
wear could lead to corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the body
main wiring harness and the front driver and passenger side impact airbag. Over time, the wear
may result in a resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG system warning message in the
Driver Information Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully functional.
Over time, and if the SERVICE AIR BAG system DIC warning message is ignored, the resistance
could increase to a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when commanded in
a side impact crash.
Some of these vehicles were previously repaired under Customer Satisfaction Program 10085.
These vehicles had the wire harness secured, and in some cases, rerouted. They did not require
the installation of the two connectors. However, there have been reports of the SERVICE AIR BAG
message illuminating in the Driver Information Center after the repair, due to movement of the
connector between the body main wiring harness and the front driver and passenger side impact
air bag. With this Customer Satisfaction Program, dealers will install the two new connectors.
Correction
Dealers are to inspect and, if necessary, replace the front seat-mounted side impact air bag
connectors.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles.
Important Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Required
Field Actions section in the Global Warranty Management system. Not all vehicles may be
involved.
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle
identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be
provided to US and Canadian dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports, or sent
directly to export dealers. Dealers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles
currently assigned.
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.
Parts Information
Parts required to complete this program are to be obtained from General Motors Customer Care
and Aftersales (GMCC&A;). Please refer to your "involved vehicles listing" before ordering parts.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Engine Compression Test
1. Charge the battery if the battery is not fully charged. 2. Disable the ignition system. 3. Disable
the fuel injection system. 4. Remove all spark plugs. 5. Turn the ignition to the ON position. 6.
Depress the accelerator pedal to position the throttle plate wide open. 7. Start with the compression
gauge at zero and crank the engine through 4 compression strokes, 4 puffs. 8. Measure the
compression for each cylinder. Record the readings. 9. If a cylinder has low compression, inject
approximately 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of engine oil into the combustion chamber through the spark
plug
hole. Measure the compression again and record the reading.
10. The minimum compression in any 1 cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest
cylinder. No cylinder should read less than 690 kPa
(100 psi). For example, if the highest pressure in any 1 cylinder is 1 035 kPa (150 psi), the lowest
allowable pressure for any other cylinder would be 725 kPa (105 psi). (1 035 x 70% = 725) (150 x
70% = 105).
* Normal - Compression builds up quickly and evenly to the specified compression for each
cylinder.
* Piston Rings Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression builds up with the
following strokes, but does not reach normal. Compression improves considerably when you add
oil.
* Valves Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression usually does not build up
on the following strokes. Compression does not improve much when you add oil.
* If 2 adjacent cylinders have lower than normal compression, and injecting oil into the cylinders
does not increase the compression, the cause may be a head gasket leaking between the
cylinders.

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

13. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve. 14. Using the
heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing. 15. Gradually move the heat from
the center to the open end of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
16. Replace any reflective tape and clips that may have been remove during the repair.
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
If the wire insulation has been chafed, or broken, enough to show the conductive portion of the
wire, and the wire is not damaged, determine the length of insulation that needs to be repaired. If
the repair is less than 280 mm (11 in), cut the wire within the damaged area. Then slide the
appropriate heat shrink tubing (listed below) over the wire, and repair the wire by splicing the wires
together. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Once the wire is spliced
together slide heat shrink tubing over the damaged area and apply heat to seal the repaired wire.
If the wire is damaged, or the damaged area is larger than 280 mm (11 in), then replace the
damaged wire by splicing in a new section of wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice
Sleeves (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General
Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).

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

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

Subject: Clear Stain or Film on Inside Perimeter of Windshield Glass (Clean/Polish Glass)
Models:
2010 and Prior Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn and Saab) 2010 and Prior HUMMER
H2, H3
Condition
Some customers may comment on a clear stain or film on the inside of the windshield glass. This
condition appears along the outer edges of the glass along the top, bottom or A-pillar areas.
Normal glass cleaning procedures will not remove the stain.
Cause
The assembly plant uses a clear sealer/primer on the outer edge of the windshield glass to improve
adhesion to the urethane adhesive that bonds the windshield glass to the vehicle body. Excess
sealer/primer may drip or flow onto the windshield and cause a stain. Once the sealer/primer dries,
it may appear to have etched the glass.
Correction
Note
A "white" type of toothpaste is recommended for this repair. Gel-type toothpaste may provide less
satisfactory results.
Use a small amount of toothpaste on a soft, cotton cloth to polish the stained area. It may be
necessary to wrap the cloth around a paint stir stick or a similar tool to reach the lower corners of
the windshield glass.
After polishing the glass, clean the inside of the windshield glass with a clean, damp, cotton cloth
and verify all of the stain is removed. Do not use any cleaners or solvents - use only clean warm
water.

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

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.

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.

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

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

* Evaporative emission (EVAP) system losses
Should this vehicles on-board diagnostic system (ECM) detect a condition that could result in
excessive emissions, the ECM turns ON the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and stores a DTC
that is associated with the condition.
Aftermarket (Add-On) Electrical And Vacuum Equipment
Caution: Do not attach add-on vacuum operated equipment to this vehicle. The use of add-on
vacuum equipment may result in damage to vehicle components or systems.
Caution: Connect any add-on electrically operated equipment to the vehicle's electrical system at
the battery (power and ground) in order to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Aftermarket, add-on, electrical and vacuum equipment is defined as any equipment installed on a
vehicle after leaving the factory that connects to the vehicles electrical or vacuum systems. No
allowances have been made in the vehicle design for this type of equipment.
Add-on electrical equipment, even when installed to these strict guidelines, may still cause the
powertrain system to malfunction. This may also include equipment not connected to the vehicle
electrical system, such as portable telephones and radios. Therefore, the first step in diagnosing
any powertrain condition is to eliminate all of the aftermarket electrical equipment from the vehicle.
After this is done, if the problem still exists, the problem may be diagnosed in the normal manner.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Damage
Note: In order to prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage to the engine control module
(ECM), DO NOT touch the connector pins on the ECM.
The electronic components that are used in the control systems are often designed to carry very
low voltage. The electronic components are susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic
discharge. Less than 100 V of static electricity can cause damage to some electronic components.
There are several ways for a person to become statically charged. The most common methods of
charging are by friction and by induction. An example of charging by friction is a person sliding
across a car seat.
Charging by induction occurs when a person with well insulated shoes stands near a highly
charged object and momentarily touches ground. Charges of the same polarity are drained off
leaving the person highly charged with the opposite polarity. Static charges can cause damage,
therefore, it is important to use care when handling and testing electronic components.
Emissions Control Information Label
The underhood Vehicle Emissions Control Information Label contains important emission
specifications and setting procedures. In the upper right corner is the exhaust emission information.
This identifies the year, the manufacturing division of the engine, the displacement of the engine in
liters, the class of the vehicle, and type of fuel metering system. There is also an illustrated
emission components and vacuum hose schematic.
This label is located in the engine compartment of every General Motors vehicle. If the label has
been removed, it can be ordered from GM service parts operations (GMSPO).
Underhood Inspection
Note: This inspection is very important and must be done carefully and thoroughly.
Perform a careful underhood inspection when performing any diagnostic procedure or diagnosing
the cause of an emission test failure. This can often lead to repairing a condition without further
steps. Use the following guidelines when performing an inspection:
* Inspect all of the vacuum hoses for correct routing, pinches, cuts, or disconnects.
* Inspect any hoses that are difficult to see.
* Inspect all of the wires in the engine compartment for the following conditions:
- Burned or chafed spots
- Pinched wires
- Contact with sharp edges
- Contact with hot exhaust manifolds

Refer to the terminal crimping procedure in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 Terminal Repair
Kit.
Terminal Replacement Procedure
After the terminal is crimped to the wire, perform the following procedure in order to replace the
terminal.
1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal
into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other
terminals. Ensure that the terminal is
locked in place by gently pulling on the wire.
3. To assemble the connector, reverse the connector disassembly procedure.
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 TPA
is removed, be sure to reinstall it before reconnecting the connector.
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close

Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the heated seat module through the HTD SEAT
fuse located in the rear fuse block. When commanded ON, the heated seat module uses this
voltage to heat the seat heating elements. Ignition voltage is supplied to the heated seat switch and
the heated seat module from the ROOF/HEAT SEAT fuse located in the BCM. The heated seat
module and the seat heating elements are grounded through the module ground circuit to G303.
Each time the heated seat switch is pressed, ignition voltage is applied through the heated seat
signal circuit to the heated seat module. The module counts these inputs to determine what level of
heat the vehicle operator is commanding. In response to these switch signals, the heated seat
module applies battery voltage and ground through the seat heater element control circuits to the
seat heating elements. When the desired seat temperature has been reached, the module will
open and close the supply voltage to the heater elements as necessary in order to maintain the
seat temperature.

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.

Idle Speed: Testing and Inspection
Throttle/Idle Learn
Description
The engine control module (ECM) learns the idle position of the throttle plate to ensure the correct
idle. The learned airflow values are stored within the ECM. These values are learned to adjust for
production variation and will continuously learn during the life of the vehicle to compensate for
reduced airflow due to coking. Anytime the throttle body airflow rate changes, for example due to
cleaning or replacing, the values must be relearned.
A vehicle that had a heavily coked throttle body that has been cleaned or replaced may take
several drive cycles to learn out the coking. To accelerate the process, the scan tool has the ability
to reset all learned values back to zero. A new ECM will also have values set to zero.
The idle may be unstable or a DTC may set if the learned values do not match the actual airflow.
Conditions for Running the Throttle Learn Procedure
* DTCs P0101, P0102, P0103, P0107, P0108, P0111, P0112, P0113, P0506, and P0507 are not
set.
* The engine speed is between 450-4,000 RPM.
* The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) is greater than 5 kPa.
* The mass air flow (MAF) is greater than 2 g/s.
* The ignition 1 voltage is greater than 10 volts.
Throttle Learn
With Scan Tool-Reset
1. Ignition ON, engine OFF. With a scan tool, perform the Idle Learn Reset in Module Setup. 2.
Start the engine, monitor the TB Idle Airflow Compensation parameter. The TB Idle Airflow
Compensation parameter value should equal 0
percent and the engine should be idling at a normal idle speed.
‹› If the engine is not idling normally, proceed with the Learn portion of the diagnostic.
3. Clear the DTCs and return to the diagnostic that referred you here.
Without Scan Tool-Learn
Important: Do NOT perform the Without Scan Tool-Learn procedure if DTCs are set. Refer to
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle).
1. The engine speed is between 450-4,000 RPM. 2. The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) is
greater than 5 kPa. 3. The mass air flow (MAF) is greater than 2 g/s. 4. The ignition 1 voltage is
greater than 10 volts. 5. Start and idle the engine in Park for 3 minutes. 6. With a scan tool, monitor
desired and actual RPM. 7. The ECM will start to learn the new idle cells and Desired RPM should
start to decrease. 8. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds. 9. Start and idle the engine in Park for 3 minutes.
Important: During the drive cycle the check engine light may come on with idle speed DTCs. If idle
speed codes are set, clear codes so the ECM can continue to learn.
10. After the 3 minute run time the engine should be idling normal.
‹› If the engine idle speed has not been learned the vehicle will need to be driven at speeds above
70 km/h (44 mph) with several decelerations
and extended idles.
11. After the drive cycle, the engine should be idling normally.
‹› If the engine idle speed has not been learned, turn OFF the ignition for 60 seconds and repeat
step 6.
12. Once the engine speed has returned to normal, clear DTCs.

Pigtail repair packs are available for SIR/SRS connectors with eight or less terminals. Only the
connector body is available for connectors with more than eight terminals. The terminated leads in
the J-38125 SIR/SRS Terminal Repair Kit can be used to replace damaged terminals when
replacing the connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Wiring Repairs)
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gauge size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice
crimping tool from the J-38125 Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the
integrity of the DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- 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.

Caster Description
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.

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.

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

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
Engine Control Module Description
The engine control module (ECM) interacts with many emission related components and systems,
and monitors the emission related components and systems for deterioration. OBD II diagnostics
monitor the system performance and a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) sets if the system
performance degrades.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) operation and the DTC storage are dictated by the DTC type.
A DTC is ranked as a Type A or Type B if the DTC is emissions related. Type C is a non-emissions
related DTC.
The ECM is in the engine compartment. The ECM is the control center of the engine controls
system. The ECM controls the following components:
* The fuel injection system
* The ignition system
* The emission control systems
* The on-board diagnostics
* The A/C and fan systems
* The throttle actuation control (TAC) system
The ECM constantly monitors the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls
the systems that affect the vehicle performance and the emissions. The ECM also performs
diagnostic tests on various parts of the system. The ECM can recognize operational problems and
alert the driver via the MIL. When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stores a DTC. The
condition area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. This aids the technician in making
repairs.
ECM Function
The engine control module (ECM) can supply 5 V or 12 V to the various sensors or switches. This
is done through pull-up resistors to the regulated power supplies within the ECM. In some cases,
even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accurate reading because the resistance is too
low. Therefore, a DMM with at least 10 Mohm input impedance is required in order to ensure
accurate voltage readings.
The ECM controls the output circuits by controlling the ground or the power feed circuit through the
transistors or a device called an output driver module.
EEPROM
The electronically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) is a permanent memory
that is physically part of the engine control module (ECM). The EEPROM contains program and
calibration information that the ECM needs in order to control the powertrain operation.
Special equipment, as well as the correct program and calibration for the vehicle, are required in
order to reprogram the ECM.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The data link connector (DLC) is a 16-pin connector that provides the technician a means of
accessing serial data for aid in the diagnosis. This connector allows the technician to use a scan
tool in order to monitor the various serial data parameters, and display the DTC information. The
DLC is located inside of the drivers compartment, underneath the dash.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is inside of the instrument panel cluster (IPC). The MIL is
controlled by the engine control module (ECM) and illuminates when the ECM detects a condition
that affects the vehicle emissions.
ECM Service Precautions
The engine control module (ECM), by design, can withstand the normal current draws that are
associated with the vehicle operations. However, care must be used in order to avoid overloading
any of these circuits. When testing for opens or shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any of the
ECM circuits unless the diagnostic procedure instructs you to do so. These circuits should only be
tested with a DMM.
Emissions Diagnosis For State I/M Programs
This OBD II equipped vehicle is designed to diagnose any conditions that could lead to excessive
levels of the following emissions:
* Hydrocarbons (HC)
* Carbon monoxide (CO)
* Oxides of nitrogen (NOx)

- 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

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

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 Crimping Tool
* J 38125-5 Ultra Torch Special Tool
The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J-38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
GMLAN Repairs
Note: When making a repair to any GMLAN network, the original wire length after the repair must
be the same length as before the repair. If the network is a twisted pair, the twist must be
maintained after the repair is completed.
GMLAN has 2 types of networks, low speed and high speed. Low speed GMLAN has a single wire
and works at slow speeds. High speed GMLAN has 2 wires in a twisted pair and works at higher
speeds. For more information on GMLAN, refer to Data Link Communications Description and
Operation ( See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information
Bus/Description and Operation).
GMLAN Connector Terminal Repair
Note: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed
and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high
speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the
repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125. If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical
Diagnostic Procedures/Connector Repairs/Connector Repairs) for the appropriate connector repair
procedure.

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

the tool to move the terminal release to the right with a gentle prying motion. See the release tool
cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is
used.
6. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector.
Always remember never use force when pulling a
terminal out of a connector.

visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Electrical
Intermittents) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and
short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot
Procedure) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion is
a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is a small motion between
electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that
the electrical resistance across the connection increases. Movement between the contacting
surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of
paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and hard to see. Vibration and thermal
expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since vehicles vibrate and
can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin, copper,
nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult
to see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add Nyogel lubricant 760G
(dielectric grease) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe
away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the
terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.

the light off (refer to the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver side door).
- More detailed information can be found in the Owner Manual.
- Service is not covered under warranty - this maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
- Give the customer a copy of the "GM Customer TPMS Information".
^ If the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) light blinks for one minute then stays on solid with a service
tire monitor system message (on vehicles equipped
with DIC):
- A TPM system problem exists. The vehicle should be written up accordingly and sent to your
service department for further DTC diagnosis and service.
- If dashes (--) are displayed in only one or two of the tire pressure readouts, it is likely caused by a
previous TPM system relearn that was performed incorrectly due to interference from another
vehicle's TPM system during the relearn process (refer to the Important statement later in this
bulletin regarding TPM relearn with a Tech 2(R)).
- If dashes (--) are displayed in all four of the tire pressure readouts, there is a system problem.
Follow the appropriate SI service procedures.
^ If a customer indicates the low tire light comes on for a few minutes when the vehicle is started,
then goes off after driving a while, advise the
customer:
- The system is working properly.
- Most likely, air pressure in one or more of the tires is low enough to turn the light on when tires
are cold. After driving for a while, tires will heat

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

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.

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

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

Bulletin No.: 09-08-64-022A
Date: March 24, 2010
Subject: Various Intermittent Electrical Concerns - Door Ajar Message, Interior Lights On, Theft
Deterrent Alarm, Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Stays On, Discharged Battery
(Diagnose/Repair Door Lock Assembly/Circuit)
Models:
2006-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2006-2009 Pontiac G6 2006-2009 Saturn AURA
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-64-022 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
- The door ajar message stays on or comes on intermittently.
- The interior lights stay on or turn on intermittently.
- The content theft deterrent alarm goes off intermittently.
- RAP does not cancel when the door is opened allowing the radio, power windows, sunroof and
the compass to remain powered up.
- The battery is discharged.
Cause
These conditions may be caused by water intrusion into the door ajar switch (part of the door lock
assembly) which causes an incorrect switch status input to the BCM. This condition can be
intermittent and wet weather may aggravate this condition.
Correction
Use the following steps to aid in diagnosis of the concern.
Important DO NOT replace the body control module (BCM) for this concern.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) and monitor the door ajar switch inputs to the BCM. The Tech 2(R) lists the
left front door separately, then all passenger doors
together.
2. Check if a door ajar message is active with the doors closed. If this condition is not present,
washing the vehicle may induce the concern. Note that
the vehicle may have to sit for up to two hours.
3. If the concern is the RAP does not cancel when the left front door is opened, suspect the left
door lock assembly. If the door ajar message is active
on the passenger door, it could be any of the other doors.
4. Try opening and closing each passenger door one at a time while monitoring the door ajar status
to see if one of the doors will cause the message
to change to door closed. If it does, suspect that door lock.
5. If the message does not change, you can isolate which door is indicating ajar by disconnecting
the individual door electrical connector at the
pass-through on the pillar side. Always start with the right front door first. If the message changes
to door closed when the door is disconnected, suspect that door lock.
Once you have identified the suspect door, refer to SI for complete circuit testing. Refer to
Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle Access in SI.
Warranty Information
Important Use the appropriate labor operation for the repair performed.

* 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 Continuity
Testing for Continuity
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (DMM)
1. Set the DMM to the Ohms position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from
the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Select the MIN MAX function on the DMM. 5.
Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance, the circuit has
good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
Note: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to
ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.

GMLAN Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/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 gauge size
(0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gauge
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- 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 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The
Page 5808
8. Position the wire seal to the terminal and crimp the seal and insulation using the J38125-6 crimp
tool, Jaw 1 (1).
Warning
DO NOT use soldering equipment that is battery or electric powered. These types of soldering
irons can induce voltage into the circuit, which may cause inflator module deployment and/or
damage to electrical components. Use only the EL-28125-5 Ultra Torch or another butane fueled
soldering iron when working on SIR circuits.
Note Avoid getting solder on the terminal end or overheating the terminal.
9. Solder all four terminals at the wire crimp.
10. Slide the two seat airbag harness terminals through the opening of the orange connector
position assurance (CPA) (1).
Note Ensure that the appropriate wire colors match up (as noted in NOTE above Step 4) when the
connection is made between the seat airbag harness and body harness.
11. Slide all four terminals (2) into the appropriate connector body as shown in the illustration.
Install the blue terminal position assurance (TPA)
devices onto the connector ends.
12. Install the gray connector clip onto the appropriate connector body. 13. Add NyoGel 760
lubricant (dielectric lubricant) to the terminals on both sides of the connections. 14. Wrap Woven
Polyester Electrical Tape (PET) (preferred) or equivalent anti-abrasion tape or electrical tape
around the two exposed wires on the
seat harness for a length of 30 mm (1.2 in) from the back of the connector. Continue to wrap the
tape around the back of the connector.
15. Slide the conduit back up. Wrap tape starting at the back of the connector and over the conduit
for a length of 130 mm (5 in). 16. Tape on the gray clip at 110 mm (4.33 in) from the back of the

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

Tire 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.

7. Inspect the fluid color. The fluid should be red or dark brown.
* If the fluid color is very dark or black and has a burnt odor, inspect the fluid for excessive metal
particles or other debris. A small amount of "friction" material is a "normal" condition. If large pieces
and/or metal particles are noted in the fluid, flush the oil cooler and cooler lines and overhaul the
transmission. If there are no signs of transmission internal damage noted, replace the fluid, repair
the oil cooler, and flush the cooler lines.
* Fluid that is cloudy or milky or appears to be contaminated with water indicates engine coolant or
water contamination. Refer to Engine Coolant/Water in Transmission (See: Testing and
Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/6T30/6T40/6T45 - Automatic
Transmission/Engine Coolant/Water in Transmission).
8. Inspect for external leaks. Refer to Fluid Leak Diagnosis (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/6T30/6T40/6T45 - Automatic Transmission/Fluid Leak Diagnosis).
9. If the fluid was changed, reset the transmission oil life monitor if applicable.
Dipstick Level Checking Procedure (If equipped)
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking brake and place the shift lever in PARK
(P). Start the engine. 2. Depress the brake pedal and move the shift lever through each gear range,
pausing for about 3 seconds in each range. Then move the shift lever
back to PARK (P).
3. Allow the engine to idle 500-800 rpm for at least 3 minutes to allow any fluid foaming to dissipate
and the fluid level to stabilize. Release the
brake pedal.
4. Keep the engine running and observe the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) using the Driver
Information Center or a scan tool.
Caution: The transmission fluid level must be checked when the transmission fluid temperature
(TFT) is at 85-95°C (185-203°F). If the TFT is not at this temperature, operate the vehicle or allow
the fluid to cool as required. Setting the fluid level with a TFT outside this temperature will result in
either an under or over-filled transmission. TFT 95°C under-filled, TFT 85°C over-filled. An
under-filled transmission will cause premature component wear or damage. An over-filled
transmission will cause fluid to discharge out the vent tube, fluid foaming, or pump cavitation.
Note: *
If the TFT reading is not at the required temperature, allow the vehicle to cool, or operate the
vehicle until the appropriate TFT is reached. If the fluid temperature is below the specified range,
perform the following procedure to raise the fluid temperature to the specification.
* Check the transmission fluid level when the TFT is at between 85-95°C (185-203°F). The fluid
level rises as fluid temperature increases, so it is important to ensure the transmission fluid
temperature is at the specified temperature.
Drive the vehicle in second gear until the fluid temperature is at the specified temperature.
5. The vehicle must be level, with the engine running and the shift lever in the PARK range. 6.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag or paper towel. 7. Inspect the fluid color. The fluid
should be red or dark brown.
* If the fluid color is very dark or black and has a burnt odor, inspect the fluid for excessive metal
particles or other debris. A small amount of "friction" material is a "normal" condition. If large pieces
and/or metal particles are noted in the fluid, flush the oil cooler and cooler lines and overhaul the
transmission. If there are no signs of transmission internal damage noted, replace the fluid, repair
the oil cooler, and flush the cooler lines.
* Fluid that is cloudy or milky or appears to be contaminated with water indicates engine coolant or
water contamination. Refer to Engine Coolant/Water in Transmission (See: Testing and
Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/6T30/6T40/6T45 - Automatic
Transmission/Engine Coolant/Water in Transmission).
8. Install the dipstick. Wait three seconds and then remove it again.
Note: Always check the fluid level at least twice. Consistent readings are important to maintaining
proper fluid level. If inconsistent readings are noted, inspect the transmission vent cap to ensure it
is clean and unclogged.
Note: It is not necessary to get the fluid level all the way up to the MAX mark. Anywhere within the
crosshatch band is acceptable.
9. Check both sides of the dipstick and read the lower level.
10. Install and remove the dipstick again to verify the reading.
Note: Do not add more than one half pint (0.25L) at a time without rechecking the level. Once the
oil is on the dipstick bullet, it will not take much more fluid to raise the fluid level into the crosshatch
band. Do not overfill. Also, if the fluid level is low, inspect the transmission for leaks. Refer to Fluid
Leak Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/6T30/6T40/6T45 - Automatic Transmission/Fluid Leak Diagnosis).
11. If the fluid level is not within the crosshatch band, and the transmission temperature is at 90°C
(194°F), add or drain fluid as necessary to bring the
level into the crosshatch band. If the fluid level is low, add only enough fluid to bring the level into
the crosshatch band.
12. If the fluid level is in the acceptable range, install the dipstick.

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

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair
procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes
difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with
the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
* AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
* Bosch
* Delphi
* FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
* JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
* JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
* Kostel
* Molex
* Sumitomo
* Tyco/AMP
* Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the
manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector
supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and
refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.
Page 5190
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Power
Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Power Distribution Schematics).
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Ground Distribution Schematics).
Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Checking Aftermarket
Accessories).
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.

Pigtail repair packs are available for SIR/SRS connectors with eight or less terminals. Only the
connector body is available for connectors with more than eight terminals. The terminated leads in
the J-38125 SIR/SRS Terminal Repair Kit can be used to replace damaged terminals when
replacing the connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Wiring Repairs)
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gauge size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice
crimping tool from the J-38125 Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the
integrity of the DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- 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.

command and control. Customers now have full radio control of the iPod/MP3 audio files via the
USB cable. A single USB connection allows digital audio transferring from the iPod to the radio.
The customer will also have playback capability with a USB memory stick (only MP3 and WMA
files).
Note
Not all memory sticks are supported.
Customers have full radio control of the iPod/MP3 audio files via the USB cable. A single USB
connection allows digital audio transferring from the iPod to the radio. The iPod will be charging
while connected to the radio. Note
Video from the iPod is NOT capable of being transferred to a Navigation radio display.
For the Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR and Malibu; Pontiac G5, G6, Solstice; and Saturn AURA, SKY, the
USB port is on the faceplate of the radio. For all other models, it is located in the center console or
IP.
For the Cadillac CTS only, a special iPod cable (USB and AUX cable) is needed. This special cable
comes delivered with the vehicle. In all cases, the iPod will be charging while connected to the
radio through the USB port when the vehicle is running or the RPA is active.
Problems with iPod Not Connecting
If the infotainment system does not operate properly when using a device connected through the
USB port, this may be due to an incompatible media device.
Important DO NOT replace the radio or multimedia interface module due to a customer device
incompatibility issue.
Verify the customer's media device is validated for this system using the list below. If the
customer's device is a validated device for this system, follow the SI diagnostic procedure to isolate
the fault. If the customer's device is not on the validated device list, explain to the customer that

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.
If the thrust angle is not set properly the vehicle may "dog track", the steering wheel may not be
centered or it could be perceived as a bent axle. Thrust angle can be checked during a wheel
alignment.
Positive thrust angle means the thrust line is pointing to the right hand side (RHS) of the vehicle.
Negative thrust angle means the thrust line is pointing to the left hand side (LHS) of the vehicle.
If the thrust angle is out of specification, moving the axle to body relationship will change the thrust
angle reading.
If the vehicle is out in the Positive (+) direction-moving the RHS forward and/or LHS rearward will
move the thrust angle towards zero degrees.
If the vehicle is out in the Negative (-) direction-moving the RHS rearward and/or LHS forward will
move the thrust angle towards zero degrees.

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

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

Refrigerant: Service and Repair
Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging
Special Tools
* J 43600 ACR 2000 Air Conditioning Service Center
* J 45037 A/C Oil Injector
Warning
To prevent personal injury, avoid breathing A/C Refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Work in a
well ventilated area. To remove refrigerant from the A/C System, use service equipment designed
for recovery that is certified to meet the requirements of the appropriate SAE Standards. If an
accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before continuing service. Additional
health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant, refrigerant recovery, and
lubricant manufacturers.
Warning
For personal protection, goggles and lint-free gloves should be worn and a clean cloth wrapped
around fittings, valves, and connections when doing work that includes opening the refrigerant
system. If refrigerant comes in contact with any part of the body severe frostbite and personal injury
can result. The exposed area should be flushed immediately with cold water and prompt medical
help should be obtained.
Caution: You must replace the desiccant if the A/C refrigerant system has been open to
atmosphere for more than four hours, or if the A/C refrigerant oil has been contaminated. Failure to
replace the desiccant will result in damage to the A/C refrigerant system.
Caution: R-134a is the only approved refrigerant for use in this vehicle. The use of any other
refrigerant may result in poor system performance or component failure.
Caution: To avoid system damage use only R-134a dedicated tools when servicing the A/C
system.
Caution: Use only 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.
Caution: R-12 refrigerant and R-134a refrigerant must never be mixed, even in the smallest of
amounts, as they are incompatible with each other. If the refrigerants are mixed, compressor failure
is likely to occur. Refer to the manufacturer instructions included with the service equipment before
servicing.
The J 43600 is a complete air conditioning service center for R-134a. The ACR 2000 recovers,
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 Specifications (See:
Specifications) for the correct amount.
A/C Refrigerant System Oil Charge Replenishing
If oil was removed from the A/C system during the recovery process or due to component
replacement, the oil must be replenished. Oil can be injected into a charged system using J 45037.
For the proper quantities of oil to add to the A/C refrigerant system, refer to Refrigerant System
Specifications ( See: Specifications).

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

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

10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Special Tools
J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
Note: Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from
moisture or provide a good electrical connection.
Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and
coaxial. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there are special requirements such as moisture
sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
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 gauge.
- 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.
Page 7905
2. Disconnect connector C308 (1) from under the driver's seat cross-beam. The connector is
accessible from the rear of the seat (2).

colors are matched when installing the new connector.
4. Cut both wires from the body harness connector and seat airbag harness connector as close to
the connector housing (1) as possible to minimize
wire length loss.
Note The SIAB harness conduit is yellow on the Chevrolet Malibu. The SIAB harness conduit is
black on the Pontiac G6.
5. Slide the conduit away and remove the tape (1).
Caution Use caution when stripping insulation. Take care not to cut through the wire strands.
6. Slide the wire seals onto all four leads, back enough to enable removal of the insulation. Install
the blue seals on the body harness and the white
seals on the seat airbag harness. Strip the insulation off all four leads 5 mm (3/16 in). Align the
seals with the wire insulation.

GMLAN Wiring Repairs
GMLAN Wiring Repairs
Special Tools
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 Crimping Tool
* J 38125-5 Ultra Torch Special Tool
The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J-38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
GMLAN Repairs
Note: When making a repair to any GMLAN network, the original wire length after the repair must
be the same length as before the repair. If the network is a twisted pair, the twist must be
maintained after the repair is completed.
GMLAN has 2 types of networks, low speed and high speed. Low speed GMLAN has a single wire
and works at slow speeds. High speed GMLAN has 2 wires in a twisted pair and works at higher
speeds. For more information on GMLAN, refer to Data Link Communications Description and
Operation ( See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information
Bus/Description and Operation).
GMLAN Connector Terminal Repair
Note: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed
and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high
speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the
repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125. If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical
Diagnostic Procedures/Connector Repairs/Connector Repairs) for the appropriate connector repair
procedure.

(Diagnose/Repair Door Lock Assembly/Circuit)
Models:
2006-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2006-2009 Pontiac G6 2006-2009 Saturn AURA
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-64-022 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
- The door ajar message stays on or comes on intermittently.
- The interior lights stay on or turn on intermittently.
- The content theft deterrent alarm goes off intermittently.
- RAP does not cancel when the door is opened allowing the radio, power windows, sunroof and
the compass to remain powered up.
- The battery is discharged.
Cause
These conditions may be caused by water intrusion into the door ajar switch (part of the door lock
assembly) which causes an incorrect switch status input to the BCM. This condition can be
intermittent and wet weather may aggravate this condition.
Correction
Use the following steps to aid in diagnosis of the concern.
Important DO NOT replace the body control module (BCM) for this concern.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) and monitor the door ajar switch inputs to the BCM. The Tech 2(R) lists the
left front door separately, then all passenger doors
together.
2. Check if a door ajar message is active with the doors closed. If this condition is not present,
washing the vehicle may induce the concern. Note that
the vehicle may have to sit for up to two hours.
3. If the concern is the RAP does not cancel when the left front door is opened, suspect the left
door lock assembly. If the door ajar message is active
on the passenger door, it could be any of the other doors.
4. Try opening and closing each passenger door one at a time while monitoring the door ajar status
to see if one of the doors will cause the message
to change to door closed. If it does, suspect that door lock.
5. If the message does not change, you can isolate which door is indicating ajar by disconnecting
the individual door electrical connector at the
pass-through on the pillar side. Always start with the right front door first. If the message changes
to door closed when the door is disconnected, suspect that door lock.
Once you have identified the suspect door, refer to SI for complete circuit testing. Refer to
Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle Access in SI.
Warranty Information
Important Use the appropriate labor operation for the repair performed.

Bulletin No.: 09-08-64-022A
Date: March 24, 2010
Subject: Various Intermittent Electrical Concerns - Door Ajar Message, Interior Lights On, Theft
Deterrent Alarm, Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Stays On, Discharged Battery
(Diagnose/Repair Door Lock Assembly/Circuit)
Models:
2006-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2006-2009 Pontiac G6 2006-2009 Saturn AURA
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-64-022 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
- The door ajar message stays on or comes on intermittently.
- The interior lights stay on or turn on intermittently.
- The content theft deterrent alarm goes off intermittently.
- RAP does not cancel when the door is opened allowing the radio, power windows, sunroof and
the compass to remain powered up.
- The battery is discharged.
Cause
These conditions may be caused by water intrusion into the door ajar switch (part of the door lock
assembly) which causes an incorrect switch status input to the BCM. This condition can be
intermittent and wet weather may aggravate this condition.
Correction
Use the following steps to aid in diagnosis of the concern.
Important DO NOT replace the body control module (BCM) for this concern.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) and monitor the door ajar switch inputs to the BCM. The Tech 2(R) lists the
left front door separately, then all passenger doors
together.
2. Check if a door ajar message is active with the doors closed. If this condition is not present,
washing the vehicle may induce the concern. Note that
the vehicle may have to sit for up to two hours.
3. If the concern is the RAP does not cancel when the left front door is opened, suspect the left
door lock assembly. If the door ajar message is active
on the passenger door, it could be any of the other doors.
4. Try opening and closing each passenger door one at a time while monitoring the door ajar status
to see if one of the doors will cause the message
to change to door closed. If it does, suspect that door lock.
5. If the message does not change, you can isolate which door is indicating ajar by disconnecting
the individual door electrical connector at the
pass-through on the pillar side. Always start with the right front door first. If the message changes
to door closed when the door is disconnected, suspect that door lock.
Once you have identified the suspect door, refer to SI for complete circuit testing. Refer to
Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle Access in SI.
Warranty Information
Important Use the appropriate labor operation for the repair performed.

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.

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

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

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

The minimum compression in any 1 cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest
cylinder. No cylinder should read less than 690 kPa (100 psi). For example, if the highest pressure
in any 1 cylinder is 1 035 kPa (150 psi), the lowest allowable pressure for any other cylinder would
be 725 kPa (105 psi). (1 035 x 70% = 725) (150 x 70% = 105).
Tires - Slight/Mild Edge Feathering Information
Tires: Technical Service Bulletins Tires - Slight/Mild Edge Feathering Information
INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 07-03-10-008B
Date: August 13, 2009
Subject: Information on Slight or Mild Tire Feathering and Recommended Practices (Normal Tire
Wear Condition)
Models:
2006-2010 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2006-2010 HUMMER H2,
H3 2006-2009 Saab 9-7X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 07-03-10-008A (Section 03 - Suspension).
This bulletin provides information regarding the normal tire wear condition of slight or mild tire
feathering and recommended practices.
If a vehicle comes into a dealership with a concern of slight or mild feathering-type wear on the
tires, review with the customer their past tire rotation history. Tires should be rotated every 8,000 to
13,000 km (5,000 to 8,000 mi) for applicable vehicles with tires where a tire rotation is possible or
recommended. Refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-015B for information on tire rotation
for vehicles with different front/rear tire/wheel sizes.
SOME TIRE FEATHERING IS A NORMAL PART OF TIRE WEAR AND THROUGH PROPER
TIRE ROTATION AND INFLATION, THIS TIRE WEAR CAN BE MINIMIZED AND TIRE LIFE
MAXIMIZED.
If the customer has not rotated the tires within the last 8,000 to 13,000 km (5,000 to 8,000 mi), a
tire rotation in the modified X-pattern is necessary to clean-up the feathering, rather than placing
the vehicle on the alignment machine.

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

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

visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Electrical
Intermittents) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and
short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot
Procedure) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion is
a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is a small motion between
electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that
the electrical resistance across the connection increases. Movement between the contacting
surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of
paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and hard to see. Vibration and thermal
expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since vehicles vibrate and
can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin, copper,
nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult
to see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add Nyogel lubricant 760G
(dielectric grease) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe
away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the
terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.

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).

Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Special Tools
J 25070 Heat Gun
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure). Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Electrical Intermittents).
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.

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

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

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-64-022 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
- The door ajar message stays on or comes on intermittently.
- The interior lights stay on or turn on intermittently.
- The content theft deterrent alarm goes off intermittently.
- RAP does not cancel when the door is opened allowing the radio, power windows, sunroof and
the compass to remain powered up.
- The battery is discharged.
Cause
These conditions may be caused by water intrusion into the door ajar switch (part of the door lock
assembly) which causes an incorrect switch status input to the BCM. This condition can be
intermittent and wet weather may aggravate this condition.
Correction
Use the following steps to aid in diagnosis of the concern.
Important DO NOT replace the body control module (BCM) for this concern.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) and monitor the door ajar switch inputs to the BCM. The Tech 2(R) lists the
left front door separately, then all passenger doors
together.
2. Check if a door ajar message is active with the doors closed. If this condition is not present,
washing the vehicle may induce the concern. Note that
the vehicle may have to sit for up to two hours.
3. If the concern is the RAP does not cancel when the left front door is opened, suspect the left
door lock assembly. If the door ajar message is active
on the passenger door, it could be any of the other doors.
4. Try opening and closing each passenger door one at a time while monitoring the door ajar status
to see if one of the doors will cause the message
to change to door closed. If it does, suspect that door lock.
5. If the message does not change, you can isolate which door is indicating ajar by disconnecting
the individual door electrical connector at the
pass-through on the pillar side. Always start with the right front door first. If the message changes
to door closed when the door is disconnected, suspect that door lock.
Once you have identified the suspect door, refer to SI for complete circuit testing. Refer to
Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle Access 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.

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

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.

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.

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.
Disclaimer
Page 7270
^ When adding proper tire air pressure, it is important to remember fluctuations in outside air
temperatures and tire temperatures effect tire air pressures.
^ After you have added the proper tire pressure, if the vehicle has a DIC (after the system has
updated), check to see if DIC displays are the same
readings as the tire pressure gauge used (adjust as necessary).
^ Only perform a TPM sensor re-learn after a tire rotation or system part replacements and use the
Tech 2(R) to initiate the relearn whenever possible to
avoid invalid sensor I.D. learns.
Important:
Always take outside temperature and tire temperature into consideration to properly set tire
pressures. Foe example, on colder days (20°F/-7°C), if setting tire pressure when the vehicle has
been indoors (60°F/16°C) or the tires are warm from being driven, it will be necessary to
compensate for the low outside temperature by adding 21-27 kPa (3-4 psi) more then the
placecard pressure. At some later time, when the vehicle has been parked outside for a while, the
tires will cool off and the pressures will drop back into the placecard range.
Important:
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general customer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. Tires inflated with nitrogen gas may exhibit less of a pressure change in response to
outside temperature changes. Nitrogen gas inflation is compatible with GM TPM sensors. For
additional information, refer to Corporate Service Bulletin 05-03-10-020C.
Important:
All Models (Except the Pontiac Vibe): Do not perform a TPM relearn at PDI, the system has already
been set at the Assembly Plant. Do not perform a TPM relearn after adding air to the tires. The low
tire light is similar to the low fuel indicator and adding something (fuel, air) to the vehicle makes that
light turn back off again. Note that because of system behavior, some vehicles must be driven a
short distance before the sensors recognize the increase in pressure and turns the light off again.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Do not use the TPMS reset button to turn off the light. The system will update
and light will turn off when all tire pressures have been adjusted followed by short distance drive.
Important:
All models (except the Pontiac Vibe): Each tire monitor sensor is learned to a specific vehicle
corner. When performing a TPM relearn (only after a tire rotation or replacement of a TPM sensor
or Module), always use the Tech2(R) to initiate the J 46079 relearned process. Tech 2(R) - initiated
relearns lock out other vehicle TPM signals that may be broadcasting in the area. Only signals
initiated by the J 46079 tool will be accepted. This method avoids storing false TPM I.D.s and will
prevent customers from returning with dashes (--) displayed in tire pressure readouts and/or a
flashing tire pressure monitor (TPM) light. Checking the four TPM I.D.s with the Tech 2(R) prior to
and following relearn to verify they are the same can prevent invalid I.D. learns.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Tire Monitor Sensors are not learned to a specific vehicle corner. Do not
perform a TPM Reset after tire rotation. The TPMS Reset button must only be used during
pre-delivery inspection by the dealer to initialize the system (after all tire pressures have been
adjusted properly) or when a Tire Pressure Monitor System component is replaced. The J 46079
tool does not work on Vibe TPM sensors. A TPMS relearn on Vibe must be preformed with a Tech
2(R) to set the TPMS Module in learn mode. The TPMS sensor IDs are entered through the Tech
2(R). Refer to SI for further Vibe TPMS information.
Labor Operation and Repair Order/Warranty System Claim Required Documentation
Important:
The ONLY time labor operation E0726 or E0722 should be used is to diagnose for a system issue.
That should ONLY occur if, at key ON, without starting the engine, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
blinks for one minute and then stays on solid with a Service Tire Monitor System message (on
vehicles equipped with a DIC) If that occurs, a TPM system problem exists and the system will
have set a DTC. If one of these operastions is used, the following Repair Order and Warranty
System documentation are required:
^ Document the customer complaint on the Repair Order.
^ Document the TPMS DTC that has set on the Repair Order.
^ Enter the TPMS DTC in the Warranty System (WINS) in the Failure Code/DTC field on the claim
submission (refer to the Claims Processing Manual,
Section IV, Warranty claim Data, Page 6, Item G).
If the above information is not documented on the Repair Order and Warranty System, the claim
may be rejected. If the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) generates a request, this repair order
documentation must be sent back.

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

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).

up, allowing tire air pressure to increase above the threshold causing the light to go off. Properly
adjusting all tire air pressures to the recommended levels will correct this (Refer to the Tire and
Loading Information Label on the driver side door).
- More detailed information can be found in the Owner Manual.
- Service is not covered under warranty - this maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
- Give the customer a copy of the "GM Customer TPMS Information".

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

Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection 6T70/6T75 - Automatic Transmission
Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check
This procedure checks both the transmission fluid level, as well as the condition of the fluid itself.
Caution: Use Dexron VI transmission fluid only. Failure to use the proper fluid may result in
transmission internal damage.
Note: Ensure the transmission has enough fluid in it to safely start the vehicle without damaging the
transmission. With the vehicle off there must be at least enough fluid to wet the end of the dipstick
bullet. This will ensure that there is enough fluid in the sump to fill the components once the vehicle
is started.
Level Checking Procedure
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking brake and place the shift lever in PARK
(P). 2. Start the engine. 3. Depress the brake pedal and move the shift lever through each gear
range, pausing for about 3 seconds in each range. Then move the shift lever
back to PARK (P).
4. Allow the engine to idle 500-800 rpm for at least 1 minute. Release the brake pedal. 5. Keep the
engine running and observe the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) using the Driver Information
Center or a scan tool.
Note: If the fluid temperature is below the specified range, perform the following procedure to raise
the fluid temperature to the specified range.
6. If the TFT reading is not within the required temperature ranges, allow the vehicle to cool, or
operate the vehicle until the appropriate TFT is
reached. Drive the vehicle in second gear until the fluid temperature is within the specified range.
Note: Check the transmission fluid level when the TFT is between 180°F and 200°F (82°C and
93°C). The fluid level rises as fluid temperature increases, so it is important to ensure the
transmission fluid temperature is within range.
7. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag or paper towel. 8. Inspect the fluid color. The
fluid should be red or dark brown.
* If the fluid color is very dark or black and has a burnt odor, inspect the fluid for excessive metal
particles or other debris. A small amount of "friction" material is a "normal" condition. If large pieces
and/or metal particles are noted in the fluid, flush the oil cooler and cooler lines and overhaul the
transmission. If there are no signs of transmission internal damage noted, replace the fluid, repair
the oil cooler, and flush the cooler lines.
* Fluid that is cloudy or milky or appears to be contaminated with water indicates engine coolant or
water contamination. Refer to Engine Coolant/Water in Transmission (See: Testing and
Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/6T70/6T75 - Automatic Transmission/Engine
Coolant/Water in Transmission).
9. Install the dipstick and tighten. Wait three seconds and then remove it again.
Note: Always check the fluid level at least twice. Consistent readings are important to maintaining
proper fluid level. If inconsistent readings are noted, inspect the transmission vent assembly to
ensure it is clean and unclogged.
10. Check both sides of the dipstick and read the lower level.
Note: It is not necessary to get the fluid level all the way up to the MAX mark. Anywhere within the
crosshatch band is acceptable.
11. Install and remove the dipstick again to verify the reading. 12. If the fluid level is not within the
crosshatch band, and the transmission temperature is between 180°F and 200°F (82°C and 93°C),
add or drain
fluid as necessary to bring the level into the crosshatch band. If the fluid level is low, add only
enough fluid to bring the level into the crosshatch band. Note: Do not add more than one pint (0.5L)
at a time without rechecking the level. Once the oil is on the dipstick bullet, it will not take much
more fluid to raise the fluid level into the crosshatch band. Do not overfill. Also, if the fluid level is
low, inspect the transmission for leaks. Refer to Fluid Leak Diagnosis (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/6T70/6T75 - Automatic Transmission/Fluid
Leak Diagnosis).
13. If the fluid level is in the acceptable range, install the dipstick. 14. If the fluid was changed, reset
the transmission oil life monitor if applicable.
Fluid Condition Inspection
* Inspect the fluid color. The fluid should be red in color. The fluid may also turn brown form normal
use, and does not always indicate contamination.

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.

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.

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

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

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Rumbling and Vibration Diagnosis
Drive Belt Rumbling and Vibration Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
The accessory drive components can have an affect on engine vibration. Vibration from the engine
operating may cause a body component or another part of the vehicle to make rumbling noise.
Vibration can be caused by, but not limited to the A/C system over charged, the power steering
system restricted or the incorrect fluid, or an extra load on the generator. To help identify an
intermittent or an improper condition, vary the loads on the accessory drive components.
The drive belt may have a rumbling condition that can not be seen or felt. Sometimes replacing the
drive belt may be the only repair for the symptom.
If replacing the drive belt, completing the diagnostic table, and the noise is only heard when the
drive belts are installed, there might be an accessory drive component with a failure. Varying the
load on the different accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is
causing the rumbling noise.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. This test is to verify that
the symptom is present during diagnosing. Other vehicle components may cause a similar
symptom. 3. This test is to verify that one of the drive belts is causing the rumbling noise or
vibration. Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the similarity in the
description. Remove only one drive belt at a time if the vehicle has multiple drive belts. When
removing the drive belts the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also
DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belts removed. 4. Inspecting the drive
belts is to ensure that they are not causing the noise. Small cracks across the ribs of the drive belt
will not cause the noise. Belt separation 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. 9. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that the wrong bolt,
nut, spacer, or washer was installed. 11. This step should only be performed if the water pump is
driven by the drive belt. Inspect the water pump shaft for being bent. Also inspect the water pump
bearings for smooth operation and excessive play. Compare the water pump with a known good
water pump. 12. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent, cracked, or loose may put
extra strain on that accessory component causing it to vibrate.

Vinyl, Fabric Cleaner, Stain Remover, Restorer - Product Availability
Models:

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

4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Power
Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and
Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics).
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics).
Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Checking Aftermarket
Accessories).
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.

4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Power
Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and
Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics).
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics).
Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Checking Aftermarket
Accessories).
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.

9. Use the J 38125-12A tool to release the terminals by lifting the terminal retaining tabs on the
inside of the connector. See the release tool cross
reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector.
Always remember never use force when pulling a
terminal out of a connector.
Repair Procedure
Use the appropriate terminal and follow the instructions in the J-38125.
Location of the terminal in the repair tray and the proper crimp tool can be found in the appropriate
connector end view.

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

visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Electrical
Intermittents) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and
short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot
Procedure) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion is
a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is a small motion between
electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that
the electrical resistance across the connection increases. Movement between the contacting
surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of
paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and hard to see. Vibration and thermal
expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since vehicles vibrate and
can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin, copper,
nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult
to see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add Nyogel lubricant 760G
(dielectric grease) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe
away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the
terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.

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

Pigtail repair packs are available for SIR/SRS connectors with eight or less terminals. Only the
connector body is available for connectors with more than eight terminals. The terminated leads in
the J-38125 SIR/SRS Terminal Repair Kit can be used to replace damaged terminals when
replacing the connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Wiring Repairs)
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gauge size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice
crimping tool from the J-38125 Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the
integrity of the DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- 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.

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.

Rear Shelf: All Technical Service Bulletins Interior - Rear Shelf Foam Seal Is Loose
TECHNICAL
Bulletin No.: 09-08-110-001A
Date: July 23, 2010
Subject: Loose Foam Seal Between Rear Window Shelf Trim Panel and Rear Glass (Replace
Foam Seal)
Models:
2008-2011 Chevrolet Malibu
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin
Number 09-08-110-001 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment that the foam seal material between the rear window shelf trim
panel (parcel shelf) and the rear glass is loose and exposed.
Cause
The foam anti-rattle seal may have been stretched when it was applied to the trim panel. Heat can
cause the foam to shrink and the adhesive to fail, allowing the seal to separate from the trim panel.
Correction
Important DO NOT replace the rear window shelf trim panel for this condition.
Use the following procedure to install a new foam seal.
1. Remove the rear window shelf trim panel. Refer to Rear Window Shelf Trim Panel in SI. 2.
Remove the foam seal from the trim panel. 3. Clean any adhesive residue from the attaching
surface on the trim panel using a general purpose adhesive cleaner.
4. Install a piece of Kent Industries P/N P46495*, 11 mm X 9 mm (3/8 in X 7/16 in)
adhesive-backed pressure sensitive sponge rubber weatherstrip
material, or the equivalent, on the trim panel in the location of the original foam seal.
5. Clean any adhesive residue from the rear window using a general purpose adhesive cleaner. 6.
Reinstall the rear window shelf trim panel. Refer to Rear Window Shelf Trim Panel in SI.

Note: A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of
graphite suspended in fluid and glass beads. The graphite will burn away, but the glass beads will
remain, making the sensor easier to remove. New or service sensors will already have the
compound applied to the threads. If a sensor is removed from an engine and is to be reinstalled,
the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the reinstallation.
5. If reinstalling the old HO2S, coat the threads with anti-seize compound. Refer to Adhesives,
Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (See:
Specifications/Fluid Type Specifications)
6. Install the lower right HO2S (2) using the J 39194-B. Tighten the sensor to 42 Nm (31 lb ft).

- 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.

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.

Dye Transfer: Dye transfer will happen any time a natural fiber like cotton, silk, wool, or suede
comes into contact with leather. The lighter the leather color, the more quickly the dye transfer will
appear. Leather should be cleaned on a regular basis so that the dirt and grime do not adversely
affect the top coat of the leather. After cleaning the leather, it is important to treat the surface with
the restorer.
Extractor Machine and Concentrate
For difficult to clean materials or when cleaning a large area, the best results will be achieved when
using an extractor machine and concentrate. General Motors offers the Ruby Extractor (P/N
627-CC-3000AU) through GM Tools and Equipment 1-800-GM-TOOLS, and has recently released
a concentrate for use with the extractor machine.
Whichever extractor machine is used, it should meet the minimum specifications of the Ruby
Extractor:
Ruby Extractor Specifications:
- Pump PSI: 55
- Water Lift: 85"
- Hose Length: 10 ft
Important The Ruby Extractor also comes with a 6 year Outer Body and 3 year Parts warranty.
Extractor: The Ruby Extractor machine was designed for automotive use and works effectively in
the vehicle's interior. The narrow design of the vacuum head allows detail work in tight areas. The
water pressure pump is reduced so the fabric surface is not wet more than is necessary. The dry
time is greatly reduced due to less water on the fabric surface, the vacuum head making better
contact with the surface and the significant water lift capability of the machine.
Concentrate: The concentrated extraction cleaner is engineered with lower pH levels to help
remove alkaline buildup on fabrics. The concentrate should be mixed according to the instructions
listed on the container. The available concentrate helps to break the stain down and then the stain
is easily removed with less water. The concentrate used in the Ruby Extractor is slightly acidic to
remove soap and alkalinity from the fabric surfaces left behind by using improper, soapy solutions.
Dirt, grease and grime are more easily removed when the proper solution is used during the
extraction process.
Parts Information
Products are available in two sizes; 8 oz / 235 ML and 24 oz / 710 ML bottles.
Available Equipment

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.

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

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

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

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

lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, or sealants are identified in the service procedure. Some
replacement components may come with these coatings already applied. Do not use these
coatings on components unless specified. These coatings can affect the final torque, which may
affect the operation of the component. Use the correct torque specification when installing
components in order to avoid damage.
Caution: Use care when handling the coolant sensor. Damage to the coolant sensor will affect the
operation of the fuel control system.
1. If reinstalling the original sensor, or if installing a NEW sensor without a sealer, coat the threads
with sealant. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids,
Lubricants, and Sealers (See: Engine/Specifications/Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers).

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.

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

Condition
Some customers may comment on poor A/C cooling performance.
Technicians may find that the cooling fan fuse is blown.
Cause
High cooling fan start up loads may cause the 30-amp cooling fan fuse, located in the underhood
fuse block, to blow. The lack of air flow through the A/C condenser, caused by the inoperative
high-speed cooling fan, may affect the condenser's ability to dissipate heat.
Correction
Use the following procedure to install a heavier gauge power feed wire from the underhood fuse
block to the cooling fan. After the wiring update is completed, replace the 30-amp cooling fan fuse
in the underhood fuse block with a 40-amp fuse.
1. Disconnect and remove the battery. Refer to Battery Replacement in SI. 2. Remove the
windshield washer fill tube. Refer to Windshield Washer Solvent Container Filler Tube
Replacement in SI. 3. Disconnect the underhood fuse block from it's mounting base. Refer to
Underhood Electrical Center or Junction Block Replacement in SI. It is
only necessary to raise the fuse block enough to access the harness connectors. Do not remove
the complete assembly from the vehicle.
4. Locate the engine wiring harness junction block assembly (X1) on the back (underside) of the
underhood fuse block and disconnect it from the
underhood fuse block. Refer to Electrical Center Identification Views, Fuse Block Underhood
Bottom View in SI.
5. Find pin A2, Circuit 532, cooling fan motor supply voltage. Refer to Electrical Center
Identification Views, Fuse Block-Underhood X1 in SI. 6. Remove the harness back cover. Remove
the TPA (terminal position assurance) clip and remove connector A2 from the junction block. Cut
the
terminal off and tape the wire end with electrical tape.
7. Remove the air cleaner outlet duct. Refer to Air Cleaner Outlet Duct Replacement in SI. 8.
Locate the electrical connector to the right cooling fan and disconnect the wiring connector from the
fan. 9. Disengage pin B, wire 3 GY, circuit 532, cooling fan motor supply voltage, from the
connector housing (pull to seat terminal). Cut the terminal off
of the wire and remove the wire from the connector housing.
10. Tape the end of the wire with electrical tape. 11. Prepare a 1.82 m (6 ft) section of automotive
grade 5.0 mm (10 GA) wire and an equal length of 6 mm (1/4 in) flexible plastic conduit, GM P/N
12051375.
12. Run the new wire through the fan wire connector housing as shown. 13. Obtain the terminals

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

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

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

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

terminal retainer.
10. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
Terminal Repair Procedure
Refer to the terminal crimping procedure in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 Terminal Repair
Kit.
Terminal Replacement Procedure
After the terminal is crimped to the wire, perform the following procedure in order to replace the
terminal.
1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal
into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other
terminals. Ensure that the terminal is
locked in place by gently pulling on the wire.
3. To assemble the connector, reverse the connector disassembly procedure.
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 TPA
is removed, be sure to reinstall it before reconnecting the connector.
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close

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

Removal Procedure
Warning: Refer to Brake Dust Warning (See: Service Precautions/Technician Safety
Information/Brake Dust Warning).
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. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle (See:
Maintenance/Vehicle Lifting/Service and Repair). 4. Remove the tire and wheel. Refer to Tire and
Wheel Removal and Installation (See: Maintenance/Wheels and Tires/Service and Repair). 5.

compress the caliper piston into its bore just
enough to remove the caliper from the mounting bracket.
Caution: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic 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.

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 Continuity
Testing for Continuity
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test

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

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

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.

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

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
Engine Control Module Description
The engine control module (ECM) interacts with many emission related components and systems,
and monitors the emission related components and systems for deterioration. OBD II diagnostics
monitor the system performance and a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) sets if the system
performance degrades.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) operation and the DTC storage are dictated by the DTC type.
A DTC is ranked as a Type A or Type B if the DTC is emissions related. Type C is a non-emissions
related DTC.
The ECM is in the engine compartment. The ECM is the control center of the engine controls
system. The ECM controls the following components:
* The fuel injection system
* The ignition system
* The emission control systems
* The on-board diagnostics
* The A/C and fan systems
* The throttle actuation control (TAC) system
The ECM constantly monitors the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls
the systems that affect the vehicle performance and the emissions. The ECM also performs
diagnostic tests on various parts of the system. The ECM can recognize operational problems and
alert the driver via the MIL. When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stores a DTC. The
condition area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. This aids the technician in making
repairs.
ECM Function
The engine control module (ECM) can supply 5 V or 12 V to the various sensors or switches. This
is done through pull-up resistors to the regulated power supplies within the ECM. In some cases,
even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accurate reading because the resistance is too
low. Therefore, a DMM with at least 10 Mohm input impedance is required in order to ensure
accurate voltage readings.
The ECM controls the output circuits by controlling the ground or the power feed circuit through the
transistors or a device called an output driver module.
EEPROM
The electronically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) is a permanent memory
that is physically part of the engine control module (ECM). The EEPROM contains program and
calibration information that the ECM needs in order to control the powertrain operation.
Special equipment, as well as the correct program and calibration for the vehicle, are required in
order to reprogram the ECM.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The data link connector (DLC) is a 16-pin connector that provides the technician a means of
accessing serial data for aid in the diagnosis. This connector allows the technician to use a scan
tool in order to monitor the various serial data parameters, and display the DTC information. The
DLC is located inside of the drivers compartment, underneath the dash.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is inside of the instrument panel cluster (IPC). The MIL is
controlled by the engine control module (ECM) and illuminates when the ECM detects a condition
that affects the vehicle emissions.
ECM Service Precautions
The engine control module (ECM), by design, can withstand the normal current draws that are
associated with the vehicle operations. However, care must be used in order to avoid overloading
any of these circuits. When testing for opens or shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any of the
ECM circuits unless the diagnostic procedure instructs you to do so. These circuits should only be
tested with a DMM.
Emissions Diagnosis For State I/M Programs
This OBD II equipped vehicle is designed to diagnose any conditions that could lead to excessive
levels of the following emissions:
* Hydrocarbons (HC)
* Carbon monoxide (CO)
* Oxides of nitrogen (NOx)

5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.

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

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

Customer Concerns and Confusion with the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) System
The following procedure should be used by dealership service consultants when a customer comes
into the service drive with a "low tire light" on or comments on a check tire pressure/low tire
pressure/add air to tire or service tire monitor system message. The service consultant should
perform the following steps:
Procedure
Turn the key to ON, without starting the engine.
^ If the low tire light comes on and stays on solid with a check tire pressure/low tire pressure/add
air to tire message (on vehicles equipped with DIC),
advise the customer:
- The system is working properly.
- Properly adjusting all tire air pressures to the recommended levels and driving the vehicle will turn
the light off (refer to the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver side door).
- More detailed information can be found in the Owner Manual.
- Service is not covered under warranty - this maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
- Give the customer a copy of the "GM Customer TPMS Information".
^ If the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) light blinks for one minute then stays on solid with a service
tire monitor system message (on vehicles equipped
with DIC):
- A TPM system problem exists. The vehicle should be written up accordingly and sent to your
service department for further DTC diagnosis and service.
- If dashes (--) are displayed in only one or two of the tire pressure readouts, it is likely caused by a
previous TPM system relearn that was performed incorrectly due to interference from another
vehicle's TPM system during the relearn process (refer to the Important statement later in this
bulletin regarding TPM relearn with a Tech 2(R)).
- If dashes (--) are displayed in all four of the tire pressure readouts, there is a system problem.
Follow the appropriate SI service procedures.
^ If a customer indicates the low tire light comes on for a few minutes when the vehicle is started,
then goes off after driving a while, advise the
customer:
- The system is working properly.
- Most likely, air pressure in one or more of the tires is low enough to turn the light on when tires
are cold. After driving for a while, tires will heat
Page 2330
8. Take a CLEAR digital picture of the Tech 2(R) Vehicle Information screen showing the engine
Calibration IDs and Verification Numbers as
shown above. Retain the printout information and the Tech 2(R) screen photograph with the repair
order.
Note All pictures must be sent as a.jpg file.
9. E-mail a copy of the picture to
[email protected]. In the subject line of the e-mail include the
phrase "V8 Cal" as well as the complete VIN
and Dealer BAC. In the body of the e-mail, include the VIN, mileage, R.O. number and BAC.
Include a brief description of the customer concern and cause of the concern.
Note The dealer will receive an e-mail reply after the calibrations have been validated. The e-mail
reply will advise the dealer if the calibrations are OEM.
10. Allow two hours for the PQC to verify the calibrations and set up the case details.
‹› If the PQC determines that the calibrations ARE aftermarket calibrations, DO NOT contact GM
Technical Assistance to discuss warranty
concerns on the aftermarket calibrations. ALL questions and concerns about warranty should be
directed to the dealers Fixed Operations Manager (FOM), (Warranty Manager (WM) in Canada).
11. You may call the PQC two hours after submitting the e-mail for authorization to replace the
assembly. This will provide them time to receive,
review and set up a case on the request. Please be prepared to provide all the usual
documentation that is normally required when requesting an assembly authorization from the PQC.
Tech 2(R) Displaying All Zeroes for the Verification Numbers on the Calibration ID and Verification
Number Screen
If the Tech 2(R) that you are using displays all zeroes for the Verification Numbers as shown, then
perform the following steps:
1. Update the Tech 2(R) with the latest software from TIS2WEB. 2. Turn OFF the ignition for 90
seconds. 3. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle. 4. Turn ON the ignition, and build the vehicle.
Observe the Tech 2(R) Calibration ID and Verification Number screen for proper operation.
‹› If the Tech 2(R) screen still does not display properly, then turn OFF the ignition for 90 seconds
again. Turn ON the ignition and observe the
same screen for proper operation.

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.

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

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

* The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor
* The On/Off switch
The cruise control system will disengage when the brake pedal is applied. The body control module
(BCM) monitors the BPP sensor via the BPP sensor signal circuit as the voltage signal increases
while the pedal reaches the fully applied position. The ECM monitors the BPP signal through a
discrete input and a serial data message signal from the BCM indicating the brake status. When
both signals indicate the brake pedal is applied, the ECM will disengage the cruise control system.
For further information on the BPP sensor, refer to Exterior Lighting Systems Description and
Operation (See: Lighting and Horns/Description and Operation/Exterior Lighting Systems) and to
Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration (See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Pedal
Positioning System/Pedal Positioning Sensor/Service and Repair/Brake Pedal Position Sensor
Calibration).
The cruise control system will also disengage when the cruise control on/off switch is switched
OFF. The vehicle speed stored in the memory of the engine control module will be erased when
the cruise control On/Off switch is turned OFF, or the ignition switch is turned OFF. The BCM
sends a serial data message to the ECM in order to disengage the cruise control system. The
cruise control system will disengage when the ECM detects that a driver override function has been
active for approximately 60 seconds. When the cruise control system has been disengaged, the
ECM sends a serial message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) in order to turn OFF the Cruise
Engaged indicator.
Every time the cruise control system is disengaged, the ECM will keep track of the reason for
system disengagement. The last 8 disengagement reasons will be recorded within the ECM
memory. The scan tool will display the last 8 Cruise Disengage History parameters, in which one
out of approximately 50 possible reasons will be displayed in each of these 8 parameters. For the
disengagement reason to be displayed within the scan tool parameter either the cruise control
system is active and disengagement is requested, or engagement of the system is requested but a
fault is present. For a list of each disengagement reason along with each definition, refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) in the ECM Scan
Tool Information.
Cruise Control Inhibited
The engine control module (ECM) inhibits the cruise control operation when any of the following
conditions exist:
* The ECM has not detected a brake pedal activation from the body control module (BCM).
* A cruise control system DTC has been set.
* The vehicle speed is less than 40.2 km/h (25 mph).
* The vehicle speed is too high.
* The vehicle is in PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, or 1st gear.
* The engine RPM is low.
* The engine RPM is high.
* The system voltage is not between 9 volts and 16 volts.
* The Antilock Brake System (ABS)/Traction Control System (TCS) is active for more than 2
seconds.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

These are all temporary conditions and should never be interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing
you to replace a part.
* Do not replace a control module reporting a U-code. The U-code identifies which control module
needs to be diagnosed for a communication issue.
* Communication may be available between the BCM and the scan tool with the low speed GMLAN
serial data system inoperative. This condition is due to the BCM using both the high and low speed
GMLAN systems.
* An open in the DLC ground circuit terminal 5 will allow the scan tool to operate but not
communicate with the vehicle. When the scan tool attempts to communicate with the vehicle a No
CANdi Module Detected message will be displayed.
* An open between the DLC and the BCM will only effect the communication with the scan tool.
The vehicle modules will still communicate, and the vehicle will start.
* The engine will not start when there is a total malfunction of the low speed GMLAN serial data
circuit.
* Technicians may find various Local Area Network (LAN) communication Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC) and no low speed LAN communications with the scan tool. These conditions may be
caused by the installation of an aftermarket navigation radio module (see bulletins). Some
customers may comment of one or more of the following concerns:

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Falls Off and Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Drive Belt Falls Off and Excessive Wear Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
If the drive belt repeatedly falls off the drive belt pulleys, this is because of pulley misalignment.
An extra load that is quickly applied on released by an accessory drive component may cause the
drive belt to fall off the pulleys. Verify the accessory drive components operate properly.
If the drive belt is the incorrect length, the drive belt tensioner may not keep the proper tension on
the drive belt.
Excessive wear on a drive belt is usually caused by an incorrect installation or the wrong drive belt
for the application.
Minor misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will not cause excessive wear, but will probably cause
the drive belt to make a noise or to fall off.
Excessive misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear but may also make the
drive belt fall off.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. This inspection is to verify
the condition of the drive belt. Damage may of occurred to the drive belt when the drive belt fell off.
The drive belt may of been damaged, which caused the drive belt to fall off. Inspect the belt for
cuts, tears, sections of ribs missing, or damaged belt plys. 4. Misalignment of the pulleys may be
caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive component, incorrect installation of the
accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair.
Test for a misaligned pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across 2 or 3 pulleys. If a
misaligned pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation
procedure of that pulley. 5. Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a
dent or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not seating properly in all
of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is used to
drive the pulley. 6. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked will let the drive
belt fall off. 7. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer,
or washer was installed. Missing. loose, or the wrong fasteners may cause pulley misalignment
from the bracket moving under load. Over tightening of the fasteners may cause misalignment of
the accessory component bracket. 13. The inspection is to verify the drive belt is correctly installed
on all of the drive belt pulleys. Wear on the drive belt may be caused by mis-positioning the drive
belt by one groove on a pulley. 14. The installation of a drive belt that is too wide or too narrow will
cause wear on the drive belt. The drive belt ribs should match all of the grooves on all of the
pulleys. 15. This inspection is to verify the drive belt is not contacting any parts of the engine or
body while the engine is operating. There should be sufficient clearance when the drive belt
accessory drive components load varies. The drive belt should not come in contact with an engine
or a body component when snapping the throttle.

* 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 Continuity
Testing for Continuity
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (DMM)
1. Set the DMM to the Ohms position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from
the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Select the MIN MAX function on the DMM. 5.
Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance, the circuit has
good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
Note: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to
ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.
Page 8230
2. Test a DC voltage range of 0.1-1000 V. 3. Test an AC voltage range of 0.1-1000 V.
Amperage
1. Test a DC amperage range of 0.1µA-10 A. 2. Test an AC amperage range of 0.1µA-10 A.
Resistance
Test a resistance range of 0.1 ohm-40 Mohm and displays infinite for a value greater than 40 M
ohm (O.L. (Over-load))
Frequency
Test for a frequency range of 0.5 HZ-199 K HZ
Diode Test
1. Apply at least 1 mA when performing the diode bias test 2. Display the break over voltage drop
(0-3 V) of a forward biased diode 3. Display infinite (O.L. (Over-load)) when a diode is reverse
biased
Min-Max Readings
1. Can update at a 1 ms sample rate 2. Saves and displays minimum and maximum values
Note: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the powertrain control module
(PCM), should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as
the J 39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM).
The J 39200 instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly
upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits.
While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM
indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp
will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a
circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
Note: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM.
This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the
presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find
out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and
take a second reading. If the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the
measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
* Probe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the
connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other
operations or test driving. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Probing Electrical Connectors).
* Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a
component or to other harnesses.
* If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in
order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.
Using Connector Test Adapters
Using Connector Test Adapters
Caution: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal.
The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor
connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the EL-38125-580 GM Approved
Terminal Release Tool Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other
substitutes to probe terminals.
When using the EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit, ensure the terminal test
adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal
test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal
in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the
EL-38125-580 GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit label on the inside of the EL-38125-580
GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view
for terminal size.

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.

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.

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

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

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are a one time protection device and must be replaced each time
the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine if
the element in the fuse is broken (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a Digital
Multimeter (DMM) or a continuity tester. If the element is broken or continuity is suspect, replace
the fuse with one of equal current rating.

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.

Coolant: Fluid Type Specifications
ENGINE COOLANT The cooling system in the vehicle is filled with DEX-COOL engine coolant.
This coolant is designed to remain in the vehicle for five years or 240 000 km (150,000 miles),
whichever occurs first.
The following explains the cooling system and how to check and add coolant when it is low.
CAUTION: Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be dangerous. Plain water, or some
other liquid such as alcohol, can boil before the proper coolant mixture will. Your vehicle's coolant
warning system is set for the proper coolant mixture. With plain water or the wrong mixture, your
engine could get too hot but you would not get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire
and you or others could be burned. Use a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL
coolant.
Use a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL coolant. If using this mixture,
nothing else needs to be added. This mixture: Gives freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C).
Gives boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C). Protects against rust and corrosion. Will not damage
aluminum parts. Helps keep the proper engine temperature.
NOTICE: If you use an improper coolant mixture, your engine could overheat and be badly
damaged. The repair cost would not be covered by your warranty. Too much water in the mixture
can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
NOTICE: If extra inhibitors and/or additives are used in the vehicle's cooling system, the vehicle
could be damaged. Use only the proper mixture of the engine coolant listed for the cooling system.

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.

Deterrent Alarm, Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Stays On, Discharged Battery
(Diagnose/Repair Door Lock Assembly/Circuit)
Models:
2006-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2006-2009 Pontiac G6 2006-2009 Saturn AURA
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-64-022 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
- The door ajar message stays on or comes on intermittently.
- The interior lights stay on or turn on intermittently.
- The content theft deterrent alarm goes off intermittently.
- RAP does not cancel when the door is opened allowing the radio, power windows, sunroof and
the compass to remain powered up.
- The battery is discharged.
Cause
These conditions may be caused by water intrusion into the door ajar switch (part of the door lock
assembly) which causes an incorrect switch status input to the BCM. This condition can be
intermittent and wet weather may aggravate this condition.
Correction
Use the following steps to aid in diagnosis of the concern.
Important DO NOT replace the body control module (BCM) for this concern.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) and monitor the door ajar switch inputs to the BCM. The Tech 2(R) lists the
left front door separately, then all passenger doors
together.
2. Check if a door ajar message is active with the doors closed. If this condition is not present,
washing the vehicle may induce the concern. Note that
the vehicle may have to sit for up to two hours.
3. If the concern is the RAP does not cancel when the left front door is opened, suspect the left
door lock assembly. If the door ajar message is active
on the passenger door, it could be any of the other doors.
4. Try opening and closing each passenger door one at a time while monitoring the door ajar status
to see if one of the doors will cause the message
to change to door closed. If it does, suspect that door lock.
5. If the message does not change, you can isolate which door is indicating ajar by disconnecting
the individual door electrical connector at the
pass-through on the pillar side. Always start with the right front door first. If the message changes
to door closed when the door is disconnected, suspect that door lock.
Once you have identified the suspect door, refer to SI for complete circuit testing. Refer to
Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle Access in SI.
Warranty Information
Important Use the appropriate labor operation for the repair performed.

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.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
Engine Control Module Description
The engine control module (ECM) interacts with many emission related components and systems,
and monitors the emission related components and systems for deterioration. OBD II diagnostics
monitor the system performance and a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) sets if the system
performance degrades.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) operation and the DTC storage are dictated by the DTC type.
A DTC is ranked as a Type A or Type B if the DTC is emissions related. Type C is a non-emissions
related DTC.
The ECM is in the engine compartment. The ECM is the control center of the engine controls
system. The ECM controls the following components:
* The fuel injection system
* The ignition system
* The emission control systems
* The on-board diagnostics
* The A/C and fan systems
* The throttle actuation control (TAC) system
The ECM constantly monitors the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls
the systems that affect the vehicle performance and the emissions. The ECM also performs
diagnostic tests on various parts of the system. The ECM can recognize operational problems and
alert the driver via the MIL. When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stores a DTC. The
condition area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. This aids the technician in making
repairs.
ECM Function
The engine control module (ECM) can supply 5 V or 12 V to the various sensors or switches. This
is done through pull-up resistors to the regulated power supplies within the ECM. In some cases,
even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accurate reading because the resistance is too
low. Therefore, a DMM with at least 10 Mohm input impedance is required in order to ensure
accurate voltage readings.
The ECM controls the output circuits by controlling the ground or the power feed circuit through the
transistors or a device called an output driver module.
EEPROM
The electronically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) is a permanent memory
that is physically part of the engine control module (ECM). The EEPROM contains program and
calibration information that the ECM needs in order to control the powertrain operation.
Special equipment, as well as the correct program and calibration for the vehicle, are required in
order to reprogram the ECM.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The data link connector (DLC) is a 16-pin connector that provides the technician a means of
accessing serial data for aid in the diagnosis. This connector allows the technician to use a scan
tool in order to monitor the various serial data parameters, and display the DTC information. The
DLC is located inside of the drivers compartment, underneath the dash.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is inside of the instrument panel cluster (IPC). The MIL is
controlled by the engine control module (ECM) and illuminates when the ECM detects a condition
that affects the vehicle emissions.
ECM Service Precautions
The engine control module (ECM), by design, can withstand the normal current draws that are
associated with the vehicle operations. However, care must be used in order to avoid overloading
any of these circuits. When testing for opens or shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any of the
ECM circuits unless the diagnostic procedure instructs you to do so. These circuits should only be
tested with a DMM.
Emissions Diagnosis For State I/M Programs
This OBD II equipped vehicle is designed to diagnose any conditions that could lead to excessive
levels of the following emissions:
* Hydrocarbons (HC)
* Carbon monoxide (CO)
* Oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
Page 8258
Note: The TPA cannot be removed from the connector while there are terminals present in the
connector body.
3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push the TPA until it bottoms out.
4. Use the J 38125-28 tool to release the terminals by inserting the tool into the terminal cavity as
shown in the graphic. See the release tool cross
reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
5. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector.
Always remember never use force when pulling a
terminal out of a connector.
Repair Procedure
Use the appropriate terminal and follow the instructions in the J-38125.
Location of the terminal in the repair tray and the proper crimp tool can be found in the appropriate
connector end view.

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

(Diagnose/Repair Door Lock Assembly/Circuit)
Models:
2006-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2006-2009 Pontiac G6 2006-2009 Saturn AURA
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-64-022 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
- The door ajar message stays on or comes on intermittently.
- The interior lights stay on or turn on intermittently.
- The content theft deterrent alarm goes off intermittently.
- RAP does not cancel when the door is opened allowing the radio, power windows, sunroof and
the compass to remain powered up.
- The battery is discharged.
Cause
These conditions may be caused by water intrusion into the door ajar switch (part of the door lock
assembly) which causes an incorrect switch status input to the BCM. This condition can be
intermittent and wet weather may aggravate this condition.
Correction
Use the following steps to aid in diagnosis of the concern.
Important DO NOT replace the body control module (BCM) for this concern.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) and monitor the door ajar switch inputs to the BCM. The Tech 2(R) lists the
left front door separately, then all passenger doors
together.
2. Check if a door ajar message is active with the doors closed. If this condition is not present,
washing the vehicle may induce the concern. Note that
the vehicle may have to sit for up to two hours.
3. If the concern is the RAP does not cancel when the left front door is opened, suspect the left
door lock assembly. If the door ajar message is active
on the passenger door, it could be any of the other doors.
4. Try opening and closing each passenger door one at a time while monitoring the door ajar status
to see if one of the doors will cause the message
to change to door closed. If it does, suspect that door lock.
5. If the message does not change, you can isolate which door is indicating ajar by disconnecting
the individual door electrical connector at the
pass-through on the pillar side. Always start with the right front door first. If the message changes
to door closed when the door is disconnected, suspect that door lock.
Once you have identified the suspect door, refer to SI for complete circuit testing. Refer to
Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle Access in SI.
Warranty Information
Important Use the appropriate labor operation for the repair performed.

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

* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot
Procedure) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion is
a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is a small motion between
electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that
the electrical resistance across the connection increases. Movement between the contacting
surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of
paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and hard to see. Vibration and thermal
expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since vehicles vibrate and
can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin, copper,
nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult
to see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add Nyogel lubricant 760G
(dielectric grease) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe
away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the
terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.

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.

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

Wander is the undesired drifting or deviation of a vehicle to either side from a straight path with
hand pressure on the steering wheel. Wander is a symptom of the vehicle's sensitivity to external
disturbances, such as road crown and crosswind, and accentuated by poor on-center steering feel.
Scrub Radius Description
Scrub Radius Description
Ideally, the scrub radius is as small as possible. Normally, the SAI angle and the centerline of the
tire and the wheel intersect below the road surface, causing a positive scrub radius. With struts, the
SAI angle is much larger than the long arm/short arm type of suspension. This allows the SAI angle
to intersect the camber angle above the road surface, forming a negative scrub radius. The smaller
the scrub radius, the better the directional stability. Installing aftermarket wheels that have
additional offset will dramatically increase the scrub radius. The newly installed wheels may cause
the centerline of the tires to move further away from the spindle. This will increase the scrub radius.
A large amount of scrub radius can cause severe shimmy after hitting a bump. Four-wheel drive
vehicles with large tires use a steering damper to compensate for an increased scrub radius. Scrub
radius is not directly measurable by the conventional methods. Scrub radius is projected
geometrically by engineers during the design phase of the suspension.

Master Cylinder Bench Bleeding
Master Cylinder Bench Bleeding
Warning: Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant Warning (See: Service Precautions/Technician Safety
Information/Brake Fluid Irritant Warning).
Caution: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components
Caution).
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 GM approved brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake
fluid container. Refer to
Master Cylinder Reservoir Filling (See: Master Cylinder Reservoir Filling).
6. Ensure that the ends of the transparent hoses running into the master cylinder reservoir are fully
submerged in the brake fluid. 7. Using a smooth, round-ended tool, depress and release the
primary piston as far as it will travel, a depth of about 25 mm (1 in), several times.
Observe the flow of fluid coming from the ports. As air is bled from the primary and secondary
pistons, the effort required to depress the primary piston will increase and the amount of travel will
decrease.
8. Continue to depress and release the primary piston until fluid flows freely from the ports with no
evidence of air bubbles. 9. Remove the transparent hoses from the master cylinder reservoir.
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.

Master Cylinder Reservoir Filling Warning: Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant Warning (See: Service
Precautions/Technician Safety Information/Brake Fluid Irritant Warning).
Caution: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components
Caution).
1. Visually inspect the brake fluid level through the brake master cylinder reservoir. 2. If the brake
fluid level is at or below the half-full point during routine fluid checks, the brake system should be
inspected for wear and possible
brake fluid leaks.
3. If the brake fluid level is at or below the half-full point during routine fluid checks, and an
inspection of the brake system did not reveal wear or
brake fluid leaks, the brake fluid may be topped-off up to the maximum-fill level.
4. If brake system service was just completed, the brake fluid may be topped-off up to the
maximum-fill level. 5. If the brake fluid level is above the half-full point, adding brake fluid is not
recommended under normal conditions. 6. If brake fluid is to be added to the master cylinder
reservoir, clean the outside of the reservoir on and around the reservoir cap prior to removing
the cap and diaphragm. Use only GM approved brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake fluid
container.

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.

Ground Repair
Electrical Grounds
Proper electrical system function relies on secure, positive, corrosion-free 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 replacements.
In general, electrical ground connections are accomplished using one, or a combination of, three
attachment methods:
* Welded M6 stud and nut
* Welded M6 nut and bolt
* Welded M8 nut and bolt
Caution: Use GM approved replacement fasteners with conductive finish for electrical ground
repair.
Determine which attachment method is used, and carry out the appropriate repair.
M6 Weld Stud 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.

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

of an ignition lock cylinder control actuator, and a park position switch that is located in the
automatic transmission shift lock control switch. The ignition lock cylinder control actuator contains
a pin that is spring loaded to mechanically prevent the ignition key cylinder from being turned to the
lock position when the vehicle transmission is not in the PARK position. If vehicle power is lost,
and/or the transmission is not in the PARK position the operator will not be able to turn the ignition
key to the lock position and will not be able to remove the ignition key from the column.
Linear Shift Assembly
- If the vehicle is equipped with a column mounted gear shift, it has a linear shift assembly on the
steering column. The linear shift assembly has a cable that runs from the linear shift assembly to
the ignition lock cylinder case. The purpose of this cable is to prevent the ignition key from being
turned to the OFF position when the transmission is in gear and the vehicle may still be moving.
The linear shift assembly cable contains a pin that is spring loaded to mechanically prevent the
ignition key cylinder from being turned to the lock position when the vehicle transmission is not in
the PARK position. If vehicle power is lost, and/or the transmission is not in the PARK position the
operator will not be able to turn the ignition key to the lock position and will not be able to remove
the ignition key from the column.
SIR Coil and Module
- For additional information on the operation of the SIR coil and module, refer to SIR System
Description and Operation (See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Description and
Operation/SIR System).
Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Actuator
- 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 automatic transmission shift
lock control switch, the body control module (BCM), the powertrain control module (PCM)/engine
control module (ECM). With the ignition in the ON position, voltage is supplied to automatic
transmission shift lock control switch. Voltage flows through the normally closed contacts of the
automatic transmission shift lock control switch to the automatic transmission shift lock control
solenoid. When the BCM receives a class 2 message from the PCM/ECM indicating the
transmission is in the park position the BCM then grounds the automatic transmission shift lock
solenoid control circuit. This energizes the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid
causing the transmission shift lever to be physically locked in the PARK position. When the brake
pedal is pressed the contacts in the automatic transmission shift lock control switch open,
de-energizing the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid. This allows the shift lever to be
move out of the PARK position.
Steering Wheel Angle Sensor or Steering Wheel Position Sensor
- The steering wheel position sensor is located somewhere along the steering shaft assembly. The
sensor measures the position of the steering wheel and the speed at which it is rotated. A signal
representing this measurement is provided to the vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES)
module. The VSES module uses this signal, along with several others representing different vehicle
conditions, to monitor the driving behavior of the vehicle and ensure that it stays in control. If the
VSES module determines that the vehicle is out of control it provides signals to the powertrain
control module (PCM) and the ABS module. These output signals are used to modulate the
transmission torque and brake pressure of each of the vehicles wheels in order to regain control of
the vehicle.

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.

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

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 08-08-64-011A
Date: February 25, 2010
Subject: Information on Heated Electrochromatic Outside Rearview Mirror Performance
Models:
2010 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2009 and Prior
HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior Saab 9-7X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 08-08-64-011 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Defrosting Time/Performance Concern
The electrochromatic (auto-dimming) outside rearview mirror used on the driver's side of many GM
vehicles is slower to defrost than the passenger side outside rearview mirror.
This is a normal condition. The glass on the driver's side electrochromatic mirror is twice as thick as
the traditional glass on the passenger side mirror. The heating elements for the mirrors on both
sides draw the same wattage, therefore the driver's side mirror will take approximately twice as
long to defrost as the passenger mirror (approximately four minutes versus two minutes). Should a
customer indicate that the driver's side heated mirror is not functioning correctly, verify it's function
based upon this information prior to replacing the mirror.

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

Warning).
Caution: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Caution (See: Brakes
and Traction Control/Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Brake Fluid Effects on Paint
and Electrical Components Caution).
Note:
* Before performing the ABS Automated Bleed Procedure, first perform a manual or pressure bleed
of the base hydraulic brake system. Refer to Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (See: Hydraulic
Brake System Bleeding).
* The automated bleed procedure must be performed when a new brake pressure modulator valve
(BPMV) is installed, because the secondary circuits of the new BPMV are not prefilled with brake
fluid.
* The automated bleed procedure is recommended when one of the following conditions exist:
* Base brake system bleeding does not achieve the desired pedal height or feel
* Extreme loss of brake fluid has occurred
* Air ingestion is suspected in the secondary circuits of the brake modulator assembly
The ABS Automated Bleed Procedure uses a scan tool to cycle the system solenoid valves and run
the pump in order to purge any air from the secondary circuits. These circuits are normally closed
off, and are only opened during system initialization at vehicle start up and during ABS operation.
The automated bleed procedure opens these secondary circuits and allows any air trapped in
these circuits to flow out away from the brake modulator assembly, which is then forced out at the
brake corners by the pressure bleeder.
Automated Bleed Procedure
Caution: The Auto Bleed Procedure may be terminated at any time during the process by pressing
the EXIT button. No further Scan Tool prompts pertaining to the Auto Bleed procedure will be
given. After exiting the bleed procedure, relieve bleed pressure and disconnect bleed equipment

Brake Pad and Rotor Burnishing
Brake Pad and Rotor Burnishing
Warning
Road test a vehicle under safe conditions and while obeying all traffic laws. Do not attempt any
maneuvers that could jeopardize vehicle control. Failure to adhere to these precautions could lead
to serious personal injury and vehicle damage.
Burnishing the brake pads and brake rotors is necessary in order to ensure that the braking
surfaces are properly prepared after service has been performed on the disc brake system.
This procedure should be performed whenever the disc brake rotors have been refinished or
replaced, and/or whenever the disc brake pads have been replaced.
1. Select a smooth road with little or no traffic. 2. Accelerate the vehicle to 48 km/h (30 mph).
Note: Use care to avoid overheating the brakes while performing this step.
3. Using moderate to firm pressure, apply the brakes to bring the vehicle to a stop. Do not allow the
brakes to lock. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until approximately 20 stops have been completed. Allow
sufficient cooling periods between stops in order to properly
burnish the brake pads and rotors.
Brake Rotor Refinishing
Brake Rotor Refinishing
Special Tools
* CH-41013 - Rotor Resurfacing Kit
* CH-42450-A - Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Warning: Refer to Brake Dust Warning (See: Service Precautions/Technician Safety
Information/Brake Dust Warning).
Note:
* The disc brake rotors do not require refinishing as part of routine brake system service. New disc
brake rotors do not require refinishing. Do not refinish disc brake rotors in an attempt to correct the
following conditions:
- Brake system noise - squeal, growl, groan
- Uneven and/or premature disc brake pad wear
- Superficial or cosmetic corrosion/rust of the disc brake rotor friction surface
- Scoring of the disc brake rotor friction surface less than the maximum allowable specification
* Before refinishing a brake rotor, the rotor MUST first be checked for adequate thickness to allow
the rotor to be refinished and remain above the minimum allowable thickness after refinish
specification. Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness Measurement (See: Testing and Inspection/Brake
Rotor Thickness Measurement). Disc brake rotors should only be refinished if they have adequate
thickness to be refinished and if one or more of the following conditions exist:
- Thickness variation in excess of the maximum allowable specification
- Excessive corrosion/rust and/or pitting
- Cracks and/or heat spots
- Excessive blueing discoloration
- Scoring of the disc brake rotor surface in excess of the maximum allowable specification
* Disc brake rotors may need to be refinished as part of the process for correcting brake rotor
assembled lateral runout (LRO) that exceeds the maximum allowable specification.
Note: If the vehicle is equipped with cross-drilled rotors, use a lathe with positive rake tooling. This
setup requires less cutting pressure, which will result in less vibration, and a better surface finish.
Also, use a vibration dampener when cutting. Otherwise, refinish according to the following
instructions.

Goodyear Tires (Engineering Information)
Models:
2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2008-2010 Pontiac G6 2008-2009 Saturn AURA
Attention:
Proceed with this bulletin ONLY if the customer has commented about this concern AND the EI
number is listed in GMVIS. If the customer has not commented about this condition, or if the EI
does not show in GMVIS, disregard this bulletin and proceed with diagnostics found in published
service information. THIS IS NOT A RECALL. Refer to GM Corporate Service Bulletin
04-00-89-053B for more details on the use of Engineering Information bulletins.
Condition
Important Only vehicles equipped with 18" Goodyear Eagle LS2 P225/50R18 tires (TPC SPEC
1257 MS) are the subject of this bulletin.
Some customers may comment on a tire or vehicle vibration.
Cause
GM Engineering is attempting to determine the root cause for a concern with vibrations in the
vehicles identified above and equipped with Goodyear tires. GM has a need to obtain technical
information from the dealer technician during diagnosis and PRIOR to repair. As a result, this
information will be used by engineering to help root cause the customer's concern.
Important If the customer vehicle has less than 800 km (500 mi) since delivery, the vibration may
be caused by flat spots on the tires. While a vehicle sits in dealer inventory for extended periods,
flat spots may develop on the tires that require extended driving to be eliminated. In many cases,
the vibration will correct itself as the tire regains it's original round shape.
Correction
During diagnosis of the customer's concern, document the following information.
1. What is the customer's concern? Be specific. 2. When did the customer first notice the concern?
3. Under what conditions can the concern be duplicated? 4. Does the vehicle currently exhibit the
condition?
- If YES, go to Step 5
- If NO, no further repairs are possible at this time; do not proceed with this bulletin.
5. Complete the applicable sections of the Vibration Analysis Worksheet. Refer to Corporate
Bulletin Number 03-00-91-001E. 6. Contact the engineer listed below and provide the data
collected.

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

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.

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are a one time protection device and must be replaced each time
the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine if
the element in the fuse is broken (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a Digital
Multimeter (DMM) or a continuity tester. If the element is broken or continuity is suspect, replace
the fuse with one of equal current rating.

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

reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
10. 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

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

4. Remove the output axle seal.
5. Use the J 41227 to remove the sleeve from the output axle.
Installation Procedure
Important:
* The stub axle shaft sleeve and seal must be replaced together. DO NOT replace the sleeve or
seal separately.
* Do not damage the seal bore or the sleeve assembly. Fluid leaks may result.
Specifications
Compression Check: Specifications
Engine Compression Test
The minimum compression in any 1 cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest
cylinder. No cylinder should read less than 690 kPa (100 psi). For example, if the highest pressure
in any 1 cylinder is 1 035 kPa (150 psi), the lowest allowable pressure for any other cylinder would
be 725 kPa (105 psi). (1 035 x 70% = 725) (150 x 70% = 105).

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

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

Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
If the wire insulation has been chafed, or broken, enough to show the conductive portion of the
wire, and the wire is not damaged, determine the length of insulation that needs to be repaired. If
the repair is less than 280 mm (11 in), cut the wire within the damaged area. Then slide the
appropriate heat shrink tubing (listed below) over the wire, and repair the wire by splicing the wires
together. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Once the wire is spliced
together slide heat shrink tubing over the damaged area and apply heat to seal the repaired wire.
If the wire is damaged, or the damaged area is larger than 280 mm (11 in), then replace the
damaged wire by splicing in a new section of wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice
Sleeves (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General
Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).

Subject: 10085D - Airbag Readiness Light/Service Airbag Message - Replace Connectors
Models:
2008 Buick Enclave 2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2008 GMC Acadia 2010 Pontiac G6 2008 Saturn
OUTLOOK
Supercede: The Service Procedure in this bulletin has been revised. All vehicles will not require the
replacement of the front seat-mounted side impact airbag connectors.Please discard all copies of
bulletin 10085C, issued November 2010.
Condition
Certain 2008 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK vehicles, and 2010
model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles may experience wear which could lead to
corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the body main wiring harness
and the front driver and passenger side impact air bag. Over time, the wear may result in a
resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG System warning message in the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully functional. Over time, and if
the SERVICE AIR BAG System DIC warning message is ignored, the resistance could increase to
a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when commanded in a side impact
crash.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the front seat-mounted side impact airbag connectors.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2008 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK
vehicles, and 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles built within these VIN
breakpoints:

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

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.

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

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

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

GMLAN Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/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 gauge size
(0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gauge
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- 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.

Removal Procedure
1. Check to be sure that the park brake is released. 2. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to
Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle (See: Maintenance/Vehicle Lifting/Service and Repair). 3. Remove
the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation (See:
Maintenance/Wheels and Tires/Service and Repair
).
Caution: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic 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.
Note: Do NOT disconnect the hydraulic brake flexible hose from the caliper.
4. Remove the brake caliper mounting bracket and caliper as an assembly from the suspension
knuckle and support the assembly with heavy
mechanic's wire, or equivalent. Ensure that there is no tension on the hydraulic brake flexible hose.

5. Matchmarks the position of the brake rotor to the wheel studs.
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
Note: Whenever the brake rotor has been separated from the hub/axle flange, any rust or
contaminants should be cleaned from the hub/axle flange and the brake rotor mating surfaces.
Failure to do this may result in excessive assembled lateral runout (LRO) of the brake rotor, which
could lead to brake pulsation.
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.

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

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

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

13. If the fluid was changed, reset the transmission oil life monitor if applicable.
Fluid Condition Inspection
* Inspect the fluid color. The fluid should be red in color. The fluid may also turn brown form normal
use, and does not always indicate contamination.
Note: Fluid that is very dark or black and has a burnt odor usually indicates contamination or
overheating.
* If the fluid color is very dark or black and has a burnt odor, inspect the fluid for excessive metal
particles or other debris which may indicate transmission damage. Refer to Road Test (See:
Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Testing and Inspection/Initial
Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/6T30/6T40/6T45 - Automatic Transmission) to verify
transmission operation. Change the transmission fluid if no other conditions are found.
* Fluid that is cloudy or milky or appears to be contaminated with water indicates engine coolant or
water contamination. Refer to Engine Coolant/Water in Transmission (See: Transmission and
Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic
Procedures/6T30/6T40/6T45 - Automatic Transmission/Engine Coolant/Water in Transmission).

Verify Original Equipment Condition of the Vehicle
- Verify that Original Equipment Tires and Wheels or Official GM Accessory Tires and Wheels are
on the vehicle.
- Verify that aftermarket suspension "Lift" or "Lowering" Kits or other suspension alterations have
NOT been done to the vehicle.
- Check for accidental damage to the vehicle; for example, severe pothole or curb impacts, collision
damage that may have affected the wheel alignment of the vehicle; e.g., engine cradles,
suspension control arms, axles, wheels, wheel covers, tires may show evidence of damage/impact.
- Check to be sure vehicle has seen "Normal Use" rather than abuse; e.g., very aggressive driving
may show up by looking at the tires and condition of the vehicle.
- Check for other additional equipment items that may significantly affect vehicle mass such as
large tool boxes, campers, snow plow packages (without the snowplow RPO), etc., especially in
trucks and cutaway/incomplete vehicles. Significant additional mass can affect trim height and
wheel alignment of the vehicle and may necessitate a customer pay wheel alignment when placed
semi-permanently in the vehicle (Upfitter instructions are to realign the vehicle after placement of
these types of items. (This typically applies to trucks and incomplete vehicles that can be upfit with
equipment such as the above.)
Customer Concerns, "Normal Operation" Conditions and "Mileage Policy"
Possible Concerns
The following are typical conditions that may require wheel alignment warranty service:
1. Lead/Pull: defined as "at a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, the amount of
effort required at the steering wheel to maintain the
vehicle's straight heading."
Important Please evaluate for the condition with hands-on the steering wheel. Follow the "Vehicle
Leads/Pulls" diagnostic tree located in SI to determine the cause of a lead/pull concern. Lead/Pull
concerns can be due to road crown or road slope, tires, wheel alignment or even in rare
circumstances a steering gear issue. Lead/pull concerns due to road crown are considered
"Normal Operation" and are NOT a warrantable condition -- the customer should be advised that
this is "Normal Operation."
Important Some customers may comment on a "Lead/Pull" when they hold the steering wheel in a
level condition. If so, this is more likely a "steering wheel angle" concern because the customer is
"steering" the vehicle to obtain a "level" steering wheel.
2. Steering wheel angle to the left or right (counter-clockwise or clockwise, respectively): Defined
as the steering wheel angle (clocking)
deviation from "level" while maintaining a straight heading on a typical straight road.
3. Irregular or Premature tire wear: Slight to very slight "feathering" or "edge" wear on the
shoulders of tires is NOT considered unusual and
should even out with a tire rotation; if the customer is concerned about a "feathering" condition of
the tires, the customer could be advised to rotate the tires earlier than the next scheduled
mileage/maintenance interval (but no later than the next interval). Be sure to understand the
customer's driving habits as this will also heavily influence the tire wear performance; tire wear from
aggressive or abusive driving habits is NOT a warrantable condition.
Important Slight or mild feathering, cupping, edge or heel/toe wear of tire tread shoulders is
"normal" and can show up very early in a tire/vehicle service mileage; in fact, some new tires can
show evidence of feathering from the factory. These issues do NOT affect the overall performance
and tread life of the tire. Dealer personnel should always check the customer's maintenance
records to ensure that tire inflation pressure is being maintained to placard and that the tires are
being rotated (modified-X pattern) at the proper mileage intervals. Wheel alignments are NOT to be
performed for the types of "Normal" Tire Feathering shown in Figures 1-4 below.

4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Power
Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and
Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics).
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics).
Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Checking Aftermarket
Accessories).
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.

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

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.

System Diagnosis
Idle Speed: Testing and Inspection
Throttle/Idle Learn
Description
The engine control module (ECM) learns the idle position of the throttle plate to ensure the correct
idle. The learned airflow values are stored within the ECM. These values are learned to adjust for
production variation and will continuously learn during the life of the vehicle to compensate for
reduced airflow due to coking. Anytime the throttle body airflow rate changes, for example due to
cleaning or replacing, the values must be relearned.
A vehicle that had a heavily coked throttle body that has been cleaned or replaced may take
several drive cycles to learn out the coking. To accelerate the process, the scan tool has the ability
to reset all learned values back to zero. A new ECM will also have values set to zero.
The idle may be unstable or a DTC may set if the learned values do not match the actual airflow.
Conditions for Running the Throttle Learn Procedure
* DTCs P0101, P0102, P0103, P0107, P0108, P0111, P0112, P0113, P0506, and P0507 are not
set.
* The engine speed is between 450-4,000 RPM.
* The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) is greater than 5 kPa.
* The mass air flow (MAF) is greater than 2 g/s.
* The ignition 1 voltage is greater than 10 volts.
Throttle Learn
With Scan Tool-Reset

Subject: Identifying Non-GM (Aftermarket) Engine and Transmission Calibrations for V8 Gas
Engines Using Tech 2(R) or Global Diagnostic System (GDS)
Models:
2006-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Excluding Saab 9-7X) 2006-2009

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

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

Installation Procedure
Description and Operation
Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
Camshaft Actuator System Description
Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator System
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is an electro-hydraulic operated device used for a
variety of engine performance and operational enhancements. These enhancements include lower
emission output through exhaust gas dilution of the intake charge in the combustion chamber, a
broader engine torque range, and improved fuel economy. The CMP actuator system
accomplishes this by changing the angle or timing of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft
position. The CMP actuator simply allows earlier or later intake and exhaust valve opening during
the four stroke engine cycle. The CMP actuator cannot vary the duration of valve opening, or the
valve lift.
During engine OFF, engine idling conditions, and engine shutdown, the camshaft actuator is held in
the Park position. Internal to the CMP actuator assembly is a return spring and a locking pin.
During non-phasing modes of the camshaft, the return spring rotates the camshaft back to the Park
position, and the locking pin retains the CMP actuator sprocket to the camshaft.
CMP Actuator System Operation
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is controlled by the engine control module (ECM).
The ECM sends a signal to a CMP actuator solenoid in order to control the amount of engine oil
flow to a Cam Actuator passage. The pressurized engine oil is sent to unseat the locking pin, and
to the vane and rotor assembly of the CMP actuator. There are 2 different passages for oil to flow
through, a passage for cam advance and a passage for cam retard. The Cam Actuator is attached
to a camshaft and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle of the camshaft relative to
crankshaft position (CKP). Engine oil pressure (EOP), viscosity, temperature and engine oil level
can have an adverse affect on Cam Actuator performance.

Models:
2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2006-2010 Pontiac G6 2007-2010 Saturn AURA All with RPO LY7,
LZ4, LZ9 or LZE V6 Engine
Condition
Some customers may comment on poor A/C cooling performance.
Technicians may find that the cooling fan fuse is blown.
Cause
High cooling fan start up loads may cause the 30-amp cooling fan fuse, located in the underhood
fuse block, to blow. The lack of air flow through the A/C condenser, caused by the inoperative
high-speed cooling fan, may affect the condenser's ability to dissipate heat.
Correction
Use the following procedure to install a heavier gauge power feed wire from the underhood fuse
block to the cooling fan. After the wiring update is completed, replace the 30-amp cooling fan fuse
in the underhood fuse block with a 40-amp fuse.
1. Disconnect and remove the battery. Refer to Battery Replacement in SI. 2. Remove the
windshield washer fill tube. Refer to Windshield Washer Solvent Container Filler Tube
Replacement in SI. 3. Disconnect the underhood fuse block from it's mounting base. Refer to

Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection 6T70/6T75 - Automatic Transmission
Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check
This procedure checks both the transmission fluid level, as well as the condition of the fluid itself.
Caution: Use Dexron VI transmission fluid only. Failure to use the proper fluid may result in
transmission internal damage.
Note: Ensure the transmission has enough fluid in it to safely start the vehicle without damaging the
transmission. With the vehicle off there must be at least enough fluid to wet the end of the dipstick
bullet. This will ensure that there is enough fluid in the sump to fill the components once the vehicle
is started.
Level Checking Procedure
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking brake and place the shift lever in PARK
(P). 2. Start the engine. 3. Depress the brake pedal and move the shift lever through each gear
range, pausing for about 3 seconds in each range. Then move the shift lever
back to PARK (P).
4. Allow the engine to idle 500-800 rpm for at least 1 minute. Release the brake pedal. 5. Keep the
engine running and observe the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) using the Driver Information
Center or a scan tool.
Note: If the fluid temperature is below the specified range, perform the following procedure to raise
the fluid temperature to the specified range.
6. If the TFT reading is not within the required temperature ranges, allow the vehicle to cool, or
operate the vehicle until the appropriate TFT is
reached. Drive the vehicle in second gear until the fluid temperature is within the specified range.
Note: Check the transmission fluid level when the TFT is between 180°F and 200°F (82°C and
93°C). The fluid level rises as fluid temperature increases, so it is important to ensure the
transmission fluid temperature is within range.
7. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag or paper towel. 8. Inspect the fluid color. The
fluid should be red or dark brown.
* If the fluid color is very dark or black and has a burnt odor, inspect the fluid for excessive metal
particles or other debris. A small amount of "friction" material is a "normal" condition. If large pieces
and/or metal particles are noted in the fluid, flush the oil cooler and cooler lines and overhaul the
transmission. If there are no signs of transmission internal damage noted, replace the fluid, repair
the oil cooler, and flush the cooler lines.
* Fluid that is cloudy or milky or appears to be contaminated with water indicates engine coolant or
water contamination. Refer to Engine Coolant/Water in Transmission (See: Transmission and
Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic
Procedures/6T70/6T75 - Automatic Transmission/Engine Coolant/Water in Transmission).
9. Install the dipstick and tighten. Wait three seconds and then remove it again.
Note: Always check the fluid level at least twice. Consistent readings are important to maintaining
proper fluid level. If inconsistent readings are noted, inspect the transmission vent assembly to
ensure it is clean and unclogged.
10. Check both sides of the dipstick and read the lower level.
Note: It is not necessary to get the fluid level all the way up to the MAX mark. Anywhere within the
crosshatch band is acceptable.
11. Install and remove the dipstick again to verify the reading. 12. If the fluid level is not within the
crosshatch band, and the transmission temperature is between 180°F and 200°F (82°C and 93°C),
add or drain
fluid as necessary to bring the level into the crosshatch band. If the fluid level is low, add only
enough fluid to bring the level into the crosshatch band. Note: Do not add more than one pint (0.5L)
at a time without rechecking the level. Once the oil is on the dipstick bullet, it will not take much
more fluid to raise the fluid level into the crosshatch band. Do not overfill. Also, if the fluid level is
low, inspect the transmission for leaks. Refer to Fluid Leak Diagnosis (See: Transmission and
Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/6T70/6T75 - Automatic Transmission/Fluid Leak Diagnosis).
13. If the fluid level is in the acceptable range, install the dipstick. 14. If the fluid was changed, reset
the transmission oil life monitor if applicable.
Fluid Condition Inspection
* Inspect the fluid color. The fluid should be red in color. The fluid may also turn brown form normal
use, and does not always indicate contamination.

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.

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

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

schematic to identify the following:
* Control modules the vehicle is equipped with
* High speed GMLAN serial data circuit terminating resistors
* Control module locations on the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits
* Each control module's high speed GMLAN serial data circuit terminals
1. Attempt to communicate with all control modules on the high speed GMLAN serial data circuit,
refer to Data Link References (See: Initial
Inspection and Diagnostic Overview). Communications should not be available with two or more
control modules on the high speed GMLAN serial data circuit.
‹› If only one control module is not communicating, diagnose that control module only; refer to DTC
U0100-U02FF (See: Testing and
Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures/U Code Charts/U0100).
2. Disconnect the scan tool from the DLC. The following tests will be done at the DLC connector. 3.

5. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for greater than 100 ohm between the serial data circuits listed
below and ground:
* Terminal 6
* Terminal 14
‹› If not the specified value, test the serial data circuit for a short to ground; refer to Testing the
Serial Data Circuits for a Short to ground.
6. Test for 50-70 ohm between the serial data circuits terminal 6 and terminal 14.
‹› If less than 35 ohm, test for a short between the serial data circuits; refer to Testing the Serial
Data Circuits for a Short between the Circuits. ‹› If 35-50 ohm there may be a third terminating
resistor between the serial data circuits. This can happen if the incorrect control module is
installed. Some control modules are available with and without the terminating resistors installed to
reduce the need of terminating resistors in the wiring harness.
‹› If greater than 70 ohm but less than infinite, test the serial data circuit for an open/high
resistance; refer to Testing the Serial Data Circuits for
an Open/High Resistance.
‹› If infinite, test the serial data circuits between the DLC and the first connection to the serial data
circuit for an open/high resistance.

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

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

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

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

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the 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.

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

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

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

Diagnostic Instructions
* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection
and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic
procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned
ON. The ECM will disable the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds unless the ECM detects ignition
reference pulses. The ECM continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as ignition reference
pulses are detected. The ECM 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
pump module, eliminating the need for a return pipe from the engine. A returnless fuel system
reduces the internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the engine to the
fuel tank. Reducing the internal temperature of the fuel tank results in lower evaporative emissions.
The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel pump
module inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel feed pipe to
the fuel injection system. The fuel pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow than is needed by the
fuel injection system. The fuel pump also supplies fuel to a venturi pump located on the bottom of
the fuel pump module. The function of the venturi pump is to fill the fuel pump module reservoir.
The fuel pressure regulator, a part of the fuel pump module, maintains the correct fuel pressure to
the fuel injection system. The fuel pump module contains a reverse flow check valve. The check
valve and the fuel pressure regulator maintain fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail in
order to prevent long cranking times.

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

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

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-64-022 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
- The door ajar message stays on or comes on intermittently.
- The interior lights stay on or turn on intermittently.
- The content theft deterrent alarm goes off intermittently.
- RAP does not cancel when the door is opened allowing the radio, power windows, sunroof and
the compass to remain powered up.
- The battery is discharged.
Cause
These conditions may be caused by water intrusion into the door ajar switch (part of the door lock
assembly) which causes an incorrect switch status input to the BCM. This condition can be
intermittent and wet weather may aggravate this condition.
Correction
Use the following steps to aid in diagnosis of the concern.
Important DO NOT replace the body control module (BCM) for this concern.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) and monitor the door ajar switch inputs to the BCM. The Tech 2(R) lists the
left front door separately, then all passenger doors
together.
2. Check if a door ajar message is active with the doors closed. If this condition is not present,
washing the vehicle may induce the concern. Note that
the vehicle may have to sit for up to two hours.
3. If the concern is the RAP does not cancel when the left front door is opened, suspect the left
door lock assembly. If the door ajar message is active
on the passenger door, it could be any of the other doors.
4. Try opening and closing each passenger door one at a time while monitoring the door ajar status
to see if one of the doors will cause the message
to change to door closed. If it does, suspect that door lock.
5. If the message does not change, you can isolate which door is indicating ajar by disconnecting
the individual door electrical connector at the
pass-through on the pillar side. Always start with the right front door first. If the message changes
to door closed when the door is disconnected, suspect that door lock.
Once you have identified the suspect door, refer to SI for complete circuit testing. Refer to
Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle Access in SI.

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

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.

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

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

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
Engine Control Module Description
The engine control module (ECM) interacts with many emission related components and systems,
and monitors the emission related components and systems for deterioration. OBD II diagnostics
monitor the system performance and a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) sets if the system
performance degrades.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) operation and the DTC storage are dictated by the DTC type.
A DTC is ranked as a Type A or Type B if the DTC is emissions related. Type C is a non-emissions
related DTC.
The ECM is in the engine compartment. The ECM is the control center of the engine controls
system. The ECM controls the following components:
* The fuel injection system
* The ignition system
* The emission control systems
* The on-board diagnostics
* The A/C and fan systems
* The throttle actuation control (TAC) system
The ECM constantly monitors the information from various sensors and other inputs, and controls
the systems that affect the vehicle performance and the emissions. The ECM also performs
diagnostic tests on various parts of the system. The ECM can recognize operational problems and
alert the driver via the MIL. When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stores a DTC. The
condition area is identified by the particular DTC that is set. This aids the technician in making
repairs.
ECM Function
The engine control module (ECM) can supply 5 V or 12 V to the various sensors or switches. This
is done through pull-up resistors to the regulated power supplies within the ECM. In some cases,
even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accurate reading because the resistance is too
low. Therefore, a DMM with at least 10 Mohm input impedance is required in order to ensure
accurate voltage readings.
The ECM controls the output circuits by controlling the ground or the power feed circuit through the
transistors or a device called an output driver module.
EEPROM
The electronically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) is a permanent memory
that is physically part of the engine control module (ECM). The EEPROM contains program and
calibration information that the ECM needs in order to control the powertrain operation.
Special equipment, as well as the correct program and calibration for the vehicle, are required in
order to reprogram the ECM.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The data link connector (DLC) is a 16-pin connector that provides the technician a means of
accessing serial data for aid in the diagnosis. This connector allows the technician to use a scan
tool in order to monitor the various serial data parameters, and display the DTC information. The
DLC is located inside of the drivers compartment, underneath the dash.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is inside of the instrument panel cluster (IPC). The MIL is
controlled by the engine control module (ECM) and illuminates when the ECM detects a condition
that affects the vehicle emissions.
ECM Service Precautions
The engine control module (ECM), by design, can withstand the normal current draws that are
associated with the vehicle operations. However, care must be used in order to avoid overloading
any of these circuits. When testing for opens or shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any of the
ECM circuits unless the diagnostic procedure instructs you to do so. These circuits should only be
tested with a DMM.
Emissions Diagnosis For State I/M Programs
This OBD II equipped vehicle is designed to diagnose any conditions that could lead to excessive
levels of the following emissions:
* Hydrocarbons (HC)
* Carbon monoxide (CO)
* Oxides of nitrogen (NOx)

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

* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- 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.

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

Special Tools
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 Crimping Tool
* J 38125-5 Ultra Torch Special Tool
The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J-38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
GMLAN Repairs
Note: When making a repair to any GMLAN network, the original wire length after the repair must
be the same length as before the repair. If the network is a twisted pair, the twist must be
maintained after the repair is completed.
GMLAN has 2 types of networks, low speed and high speed. Low speed GMLAN has a single wire
and works at slow speeds. High speed GMLAN has 2 wires in a twisted pair and works at higher
speeds. For more information on GMLAN, refer to Data Link Communications Description and
Operation ( See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information
Bus/Description and Operation).
GMLAN Connector Terminal Repair
Note: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed
and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high
speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the
repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125. If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical
Diagnostic Procedures/Connector Repairs/Connector Repairs) for the appropriate connector repair
procedure.

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

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

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

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

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools.
The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are a one time protection device and must be replaced each time
the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine if
the element in the fuse is broken (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a Digital
Multimeter (DMM) or a continuity tester. If the element is broken or continuity is suspect, replace
the fuse with one of equal current rating.

Circuit/System Description
The ignition system uses individual ignition coil/module assemblies for each cylinder. The engine
control module (ECM) controls the individual coils by transmitting timing pulses on the ignition
control (IC) circuit of each ignition coil/module to enable a spark event. Each ignition coil/module
has the following circuits:
* Ignition voltage
* Ground
* IC
* Low reference
Diagnostic Aids
* Depending on location in the spliced ignition voltage circuit, a slight resistance can cause a
misfire or a crank/no start concern. A voltage drop test on the circuit will pinpoint this condition.
* A slight to moderate resistance on any IC circuit can cause a misfire before DTC P0351-P0354
sets.
* Extended engine cranking time, may foul the spark plugs with excessive fuel.

the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.

4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Power
Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and
Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics).
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics).
Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Checking Aftermarket
Accessories).
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-64-022 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
- The door ajar message stays on or comes on intermittently.
- The interior lights stay on or turn on intermittently.
- The content theft deterrent alarm goes off intermittently.
- RAP does not cancel when the door is opened allowing the radio, power windows, sunroof and
the compass to remain powered up.
- The battery is discharged.
Cause
These conditions may be caused by water intrusion into the door ajar switch (part of the door lock
assembly) which causes an incorrect switch status input to the BCM. This condition can be
intermittent and wet weather may aggravate this condition.
Correction
Use the following steps to aid in diagnosis of the concern.
Important DO NOT replace the body control module (BCM) for this concern.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) and monitor the door ajar switch inputs to the BCM. The Tech 2(R) lists the
left front door separately, then all passenger doors
together.
2. Check if a door ajar message is active with the doors closed. If this condition is not present,
washing the vehicle may induce the concern. Note that
the vehicle may have to sit for up to two hours.
3. If the concern is the RAP does not cancel when the left front door is opened, suspect the left
door lock assembly. If the door ajar message is active
on the passenger door, it could be any of the other doors.
4. Try opening and closing each passenger door one at a time while monitoring the door ajar status
to see if one of the doors will cause the message
to change to door closed. If it does, suspect that door lock.
5. If the message does not change, you can isolate which door is indicating ajar by disconnecting
the individual door electrical connector at the
pass-through on the pillar side. Always start with the right front door first. If the message changes
to door closed when the door is disconnected, suspect that door lock.
Once you have identified the suspect door, refer to SI for complete circuit testing. Refer to
Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle Access in SI.
Warranty Information
Important Use the appropriate labor operation for the repair performed.

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are a one time protection device and must be replaced each time
the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine if
the element in the fuse is broken (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a Digital
Multimeter (DMM) or a continuity tester. If the element is broken or continuity is suspect, replace
the fuse with one of equal current rating.

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

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

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

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

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

4. Start the nut (4) by hand.
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Fastener
Caution).
Note: When installing the tire pressure sensor and the nut, position the tire pressure sensor so that
it is parallel to the inside wheel surface while torquing.
5. Install the nut (2) on the tire pressure sensor (1).
Tighten the nut (2) to 7 Nm (62 lb in).
6. Install the tire on the wheel. Refer to Tire Dismounting and Mounting (See: Tires/Service and
Repair/Removal and Replacement). 7. Install the tire/wheel assembly on the vehicle. Refer to Tire

Antilock Brake System Automated Bleed
Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Antilock Brake System Automated Bleed
Antilock Brake System Automated Bleed Warning: Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant Warning (See:
Service Precautions/Technician Safety Information/Brake Fluid Irritant Warning).
Caution: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components
Caution).
Note:
* Before performing the ABS Automated Bleed Procedure, first perform a manual or pressure bleed
of the base hydraulic brake system. Refer to Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (See: Hydraulic
Brake System Bleeding).
* The automated bleed procedure must be performed when a new brake pressure modulator valve
(BPMV) is installed, because the secondary circuits of the new BPMV are not prefilled with brake
fluid.
* The automated bleed procedure is recommended when one of the following conditions exist:
* Base brake system bleeding does not achieve the desired pedal height or feel
* Extreme loss of brake fluid has occurred
* Air ingestion is suspected in the secondary circuits of the brake modulator assembly
The ABS Automated Bleed Procedure uses a scan tool to cycle the system solenoid valves and run
the pump in order to purge any air from the secondary circuits. These circuits are normally closed
off, and are only opened during system initialization at vehicle start up and during ABS operation.
The automated bleed procedure opens these secondary circuits and allows any air trapped in
these circuits to flow out away from the brake modulator assembly, which is then forced out at the
brake corners by the pressure bleeder.
Automated Bleed Procedure
Caution: The Auto Bleed Procedure may be terminated at any time during the process by pressing
the EXIT button. No further Scan Tool prompts pertaining to the Auto Bleed procedure will be
given. After exiting the bleed procedure, relieve bleed pressure and disconnect bleed equipment
per manufacturers instructions. Failure to properly relieve pressure may result in spilled brake fluid
causing damage to components and painted surfaces.
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle (See:
Maintenance/Vehicle Lifting/Service and Repair). 2. Remove the tire and wheel assemblies. Refer
to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation (See: Maintenance/Wheels and Tires/Service and
Repair).
3. Inspect the brake system for leaks and visual damage. Refer to Symptoms - Hydraulic Brakes
(See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related
Diagnostic Procedures/Symptoms - Hydraulic Brakes). Repair or replace components as needed.
4. Lower the vehicle. 5. Prepare the brake bleeding equipment and the vehicle for a pressure bleed
of the base hydraulic brake system. Refer to Hydraulic Brake System
Bleeding (See: Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding).
6. Inspect the battery state of charge. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test (See: Starting and
Charging/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/Battery Inspection/Test).
7. Install a scan tool. 8. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF. 9. With the scan tool, perform
the following steps:
1. Select Diagnostics 2. Select the appropriate vehicle information 3. Select Chassis 4. Select
Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) 5. Select Special Functions 6. Select Automated Bleed
10. With an assistant ready, raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle
(See: Maintenance/Vehicle Lifting/Service and
Repair).
Note: *
Apply the brake pedal when instructed, using moderate effort.
* Ensure the pedal remains applied until instructed to release by the scan tool.
* Do not exceed the time period allowed by the scan tool for having the bleeder valves open.
* The bleed sequence for each corner is as follows:
- Left front
- Right front
- Right rear

2. Starting with the left front tire, learn the tire pressure using one of the following methods:
* Hold the antenna of the J-46079 aimed upward against the tire sidewall close to the wheel rim at
the valve stem location. Press and release the activate button and wait for a horn chirp. Once the
horn chirp has sounded, the sensor information is learned and the turn signal in the next location to
be learned will illuminate.
Warning
Over inflating tires may cause personal injury or damage to the tires and wheels. When increasing
tire pressure do not exceed the maximum inflation pressure as noted on the tire sidewall.
* Increase/decrease the tire pressure for 8-10 seconds then wait for a horn chirp. The horn chirp
may occur before or up to 30 seconds after the 8-10 second pressure increase/decrease time
period has been reached. Once the horn chirp has sounded, the sensor information is learned and
the turn signal in the next location to be learned will illuminate.
3. After the horn chirp has sounded and the right front turn signal is illuminated, repeat step 2 for
the remaining 3 sensors in the following order:
1. Right front 2. Right rear 3. Left rear

Technical Service Bulletin # 11034 Date: 110314
Campaign - Service Air Bag Message, Replace Connectors
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Bulletin No.: 11034
Date: March 14, 2011
Subject: 11034 - Service Air Bag Message - Replace Connectors
Models:
2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2010 Pontiac G6
Some, but not all, of the vehicles involved in this Program were also involved in Customer
Satisfaction Program (CSP) 10085. These vehicles are to be inspected to determine if the repair for
CSP 10085 included the replacement of the two connectors. If the connectors were replaced, no
further action is required on these vehicles. If they were not replaced, dealers are to install the new
connectors.
Condition
Certain 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles may have a condition in which
wear could lead to corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the body
main wiring harness and the front driver and passenger side impact airbag. Over time, the wear
may result in a resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG system warning message in the
Driver Information Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully functional.
Over time, and if the SERVICE AIR BAG system DIC warning message is ignored, the resistance
could increase to a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when commanded in
a side impact crash.
Some of these vehicles were previously repaired under Customer Satisfaction Program 10085.
These vehicles had the wire harness secured, and in some cases, rerouted. They did not require
the installation of the two connectors. However, there have been reports of the SERVICE AIR BAG
message illuminating in the Driver Information Center after the repair, due to movement of the
connector between the body main wiring harness and the front driver and passenger side impact
air bag. With this Customer Satisfaction Program, dealers will install the two new connectors.
Correction
Dealers are to inspect and, if necessary, replace the front seat-mounted side impact air bag
connectors.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles.
Important Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Required
Field Actions section in the Global Warranty Management system. Not all vehicles may be
involved.
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle
identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be
provided to US and Canadian dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports, or sent
directly to export dealers. Dealers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles
currently assigned.
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.
Parts Information
Parts required to complete this program are to be obtained from General Motors Customer Care
and Aftersales (GMCC&A;). Please refer to your "involved vehicles listing" before ordering parts.

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 (See: Powertrain Management/Ignition
System/Specifications) for the correct spark plug.
* Ensure that the spark plug has the correct heat range. An incorrect heat range causes the
following conditions:
- Spark plug fouling - 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.

1. Use a proper hand reamer, carbide cutter or drill bit to ream the puncture channel from the inside
of the tire in order to clean the injury. 2. Remove steel wires protruding above the liner surface to
prevent damage to the repair unit. 3. Consult your repair material supplier for recommended
reaming tool(s).
Fill the Injury
1. It is necessary to fill the injury channel to provide back up for the repair unit and to prevent
moisture from entering the tire fabric and steel wires. 2. For combination repair/plug units skip this
step. Cement the injured channel and fill the injury from the inside of the tire with the repair plug per
repair material manufacturer's recommendations. Without stretching the plug, cut the plug off just
above the inside tire surface.
3. Consult your repair material supplier for proper repair material selection.

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

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.

GMLAN Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/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 gauge size
(0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gauge
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- 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 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 06-00-89-029F
Date: April 27, 2010
Subject: Interior Cleaning - Instrument Panel (IP), Hard or Plastic Surfaces, Seats, Carpet, Leather,
Vinyl, Fabric Cleaner, Stain Remover, Restorer - Product Availability
Models:
2006-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks including Saturn (EXCLUDES Cadillac DTS Platinum
and Escalade Platinum with RPO R9N - Tehama Leather) 2006-2010 HUMMER H2, H3 2006-2009
Saab 9-7X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the model years. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 06-00-89-029E (Section 00 - General Information).
To keep the vehicle interior looking the best, it should be cleaned often. It is important to keep the
upholstery from becoming heavily soiled. The vehicle's interior can experience extreme heat, which
can cause stains to set quickly. Lighter color interiors may require more frequent cleaning. Care
should be taken because newspapers and garments may transfer color to the vehicle's interior.
Many of today's interiors are made with new low gloss materials. Permanent damage may result
from using cleaners on ANY surfaces (interior trim, instrument panel, carpet, leather, vinyl and
fabric) for which they are not intended. Using non-approved products can actually set the stain to
the point that nothing can remove it.
Important
Do not use silicone or wax-based products or those containing organic solvents (such as naptha,
alcohol, etc.) to clean your vehicle's interior because they can alter the appearance by increasing
the gloss in a non-uniform manner. The increase in gloss may cause annoying reflections in the
windshield and even make it difficult to see through the windshield under certain conditions.
- Never use a STIFF brush or a brush that has been previously used with a harsh chemical. This
can cause damage to the vehicle's interior surfaces.
- Use only mild, Neutral-pH cleaners. Avoid laundry detergents or dishwashing soaps with
degreasers. Using too much soap will leave residue that leaves streaks and attracts dirt.
Because it is critical to use only mild, neutral-pH cleaners, General Motors has approved the use of
the cleaners and conditioners listed in this bulletin for the cleaning of interiors. These products are
in the neutral-pH range and will maintain the best vehicle interior appearance. These products are
water-based, biodegradable, and do not contain bleach, solvents or harsh chemicals.
Interior trim pieces on new vehicles, as well as service components, arrive with a protective film.
When removing the protective film, adhesive residue may be left on the trim panels/components.
The cleaner (for leather, vinyl, plastic and interior paint) is an effective cleaner in removing
adhesive residue without causing damage to the component.
Important
- If soapy, alkaline cleaning solutions are used on fabrics, and not thoroughly rinsed out, the
residual left in the fabric will attract dirt. Because the recommended cleaners/conditioners are in the
pH neutral range, they won't leave behind soapy residue.
- On heavily stained or difficult to clean fabric/carpet, it is recommended that the entire surface be
treated and cleaned vs. spot cleaning. Refer to Extractor Machine and Concentrate section of this
bulletin for more information.
Effective cleaning steps for hard and/or plastic surfaces:
1. Using a clean towel, apply/spray cleaner - leather, vinyl, plastic, interior paint, directly onto the
towel. 2. Wipe the surface with the towel/cleaner. 3. If necessary, use a soft bristle brush to work
cleaner into the crevasses of the area being cleaned. 4. Wipe off any excess cleaner from the
surface. 5. Using a clean towel, apply/spray the conditioner (leather, vinyl restorer) directly onto the
towel. 6. Wipe the conditioner onto the previously cleaned area to restore the material to it's
original luster.
Important Today's interiors are developed and intended to have a low-gloss appearance. It is
important to use only products which provide a low-gloss finish in order to maintain the interior's
integrity, customer appeal and satisfaction.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Engine Compression Test
1. Charge the battery if the battery is not fully charged. 2. Disable the ignition system. 3. Disable
the fuel injection system. 4. Remove all spark plugs. 5. Turn the ignition to the ON position. 6.
Depress the accelerator pedal to position the throttle plate wide open. 7. Start with the compression
gauge at zero and crank the engine through 4 compression strokes, 4 puffs. 8. Measure the
compression for each cylinder. Record the readings. 9. If a cylinder has low compression, inject
approximately 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of engine oil into the combustion chamber through the spark
plug
hole. Measure the compression again and record the reading.
10. The minimum compression in any 1 cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest
cylinder. No cylinder should read less than 690 kPa
(100 psi). For example, if the highest pressure in any 1 cylinder is 1 035 kPa (150 psi), the lowest
allowable pressure for any other cylinder would be 725 kPa (105 psi). (1 035 x 70% = 725) (150 x
70% = 105).
* Normal - Compression builds up quickly and evenly to the specified compression for each
cylinder.
* Piston Rings Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression builds up with the
following strokes, but does not reach normal. Compression improves considerably when you add
oil.
* Valves Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression usually does not build up
on the following strokes. Compression does not improve much when you add oil.
* If 2 adjacent cylinders have lower than normal compression, and injecting oil into the cylinders
does not increase the compression, the cause may be a head gasket leaking between the
cylinders.

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

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

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

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

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

Service and Repair
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair
SIR Disabling and Enabling
SIR component location affects how a vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the SIR
system installed in various locations around a vehicle. To find the location of the SIR components
refer to SIR Identification Views (See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Locations).
There are several reasons for disabling the SIR system, such as repairs to the SIR system or
servicing a component near or attached to an SIR component. There are several ways to disable
the SIR system depending on what type of service is being performed. The following information
covers the proper procedures for disabling/enabling the SIR system.
SIR Service Precautions
Warning
When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must
be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in
unnecessary SIR system repairs.
The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) maintains a reserved energy supply.
The reserved energy supply provides deployment power for the air bags if the SDM loses battery
power during a collision. Deployment power is available for as much as 1 minute after
disconnecting the vehicle power. Waiting 1 minute before working on the system after disabling the
SIR system prevents deployment of the air bags from the reserved energy supply.
General Service Instructions
The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair the
vehicle and return it to its original integrity:
* Do not expose air bags to temperatures above 65°C (149°F).
* Verify the correct replacement part number. Do not substitute a component from a different
vehicle.
* Use only original GM replacement parts available from your authorized GM dealer. Do not use
salvaged parts for repairs to the SIR system.
Discard any of the following components if it has been dropped from a height of 92 cm (3 feet) or
greater:
* Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
* Any air bag
* Driver steering wheel air bag coil
* Any impact sensor
* Seat belt anchor and/or retractor pretensioners
* Passenger presence module and/or occupant sensor
Disabling Procedure - Air Bag Fuse
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicles wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2. Place the
ignition in the OFF position.

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

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

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. Lifting Points

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

Note: Whenever the brake rotor has been separated from the hub/axle flange, clean any rust or
contaminants from the hub/axle flange and the brake rotor mating surfaces. Failure to do this may
result in increased assembled lateral runout (LRO) of the brake rotor, which could lead to brake
pulsation.
1. Using the CH-42450-A - Wheel Hub Resurfacing Kit, thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from
the mating surface of the hub/axle flange. 2. Using the CH-41013 - Rotor Resurfacing Kit,
thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface and mounting surface of the brake
rotor.
3. Inspect the mating surfaces of the hub/axle flange and the rotor to ensure that there are no
foreign particles or debris remaining. 4. Mount the brake rotor to the brake lathe according to the
lathe manufacturer's instructions, ensuring that all mounting attachments and adapters are
clean and free of debris.
5. Ensure that any vibration dampening attachments are securely in place. 6. With the brake lathe
running, slowly bring in the cutting tools until they just contact the brake rotor friction surfaces. 7.
Observe the witness mark on the brake rotor. If the witness mark extends approximately
three-quarters or more of the way around the brake rotor
friction surface on each side, the brake rotor is properly mounted to the lathe.
8. If the witness mark does not extend three-quarters or more of the way around the brake rotor,
re-mount the rotor to the lathe. 9. Following the brake lathe manufacturer's instructions, refinish the
brake rotor.
10. After each successive cut, inspect the brake rotor thickness. Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness
Measurement (See: Testing and Inspection/Brake
Rotor Thickness Measurement).
11. If at any time the brake rotor exceeds the minimum allowable thickness after refinish
specification, the brake rotor must be replaced. 12. After refinishing the brake rotor, use the
following procedure in order to obtain the desired non-directional finish:
1. Follow the brake lathe manufacturer's recommended speed setting for applying a non-directional
finish. 2. Using moderate pressure, apply the non-directional finish:
* If the lathe is equipped with a non-directional finishing tool, apply the finish with 120-grit aluminum
oxide sandpaper.
* If the lathe is not equipped with a non-directional finishing tool, apply the finish with a sanding
block and 150-grit aluminum oxide sandpaper.
3. After applying a non-directional finish, clean each friction surface of the brake rotor with
denatured alcohol, or an equivalent approved brake
cleaner and wipe each friction surface using a clean shop towel to remove metal particles
remaining from machining. Repeat the cleaning process if necessary to remove all metal particles.
13. Remove the brake rotor from the brake lathe. 14. Measure the assembled LRO of the brake
rotor to ensure optimum performance of the disc brakes. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral
Runout Measurement (See: Testing and Inspection/Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout
Measurement).
15. If the brake rotor assembled LRO measurement exceeds the specification, bring the LRO to
within specifications. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled
Lateral Runout Correction (See: Testing and Inspection/Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout
Correction).

39200 will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
Note: The J 39200 must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the J 39200 can
monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX)
values measured.
1. Connect the J 39200 to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of
a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/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 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
Note: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order
to record the full change.
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling
the connections or the wiring, test driving, or
performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions).
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has
been recorded. 7. Press the MIN MAX button once in order to display the MAX value and note the
value. 8. Press the MIN MAX button again in order to display the MIN value and note the value. 9.
Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an
intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
* If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V, an
intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
Special Tools
* J 35616 GM-Approved Terminal Test Kit
* J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be
intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the
symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
* Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The
conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little

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.

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,

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

Verify Original Equipment Condition of the Vehicle
- Verify that Original Equipment Tires and Wheels or Official GM Accessory Tires and Wheels are
on the vehicle.
- Verify that aftermarket suspension "Lift" or "Lowering" Kits or other suspension alterations have
NOT been done to the vehicle.
- Check for accidental damage to the vehicle; for example, severe pothole or curb impacts, collision
damage that may have affected the wheel alignment of the vehicle; e.g., engine cradles,
suspension control arms, axles, wheels, wheel covers, tires may show evidence of damage/impact.
- Check to be sure vehicle has seen "Normal Use" rather than abuse; e.g., very aggressive driving
may show up by looking at the tires and condition of the vehicle.
- Check for other additional equipment items that may significantly affect vehicle mass such as
large tool boxes, campers, snow plow packages (without the snowplow RPO), etc., especially in
trucks and cutaway/incomplete vehicles. Significant additional mass can affect trim height and
wheel alignment of the vehicle and may necessitate a customer pay wheel alignment when placed
semi-permanently in the vehicle (Upfitter instructions are to realign the vehicle after placement of
these types of items. (This typically applies to trucks and incomplete vehicles that can be upfit with
equipment such as the above.)
Customer Concerns, "Normal Operation" Conditions and "Mileage Policy"
Possible Concerns
The following are typical conditions that may require wheel alignment warranty service:
1. Lead/Pull: defined as "at a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, the amount of
effort required at the steering wheel to maintain the
vehicle's straight heading."
Important Please evaluate for the condition with hands-on the steering wheel. Follow the "Vehicle
Leads/Pulls" diagnostic tree located in SI to determine the cause of a lead/pull concern. Lead/Pull
concerns can be due to road crown or road slope, tires, wheel alignment or even in rare
circumstances a steering gear issue. Lead/pull concerns due to road crown are considered
"Normal Operation" and are NOT a warrantable condition -- the customer should be advised that
this is "Normal Operation."
Important Some customers may comment on a "Lead/Pull" when they hold the steering wheel in a
level condition. If so, this is more likely a "steering wheel angle" concern because the customer is
"steering" the vehicle to obtain a "level" steering wheel.
2. Steering wheel angle to the left or right (counter-clockwise or clockwise, respectively): Defined
as the steering wheel angle (clocking)
deviation from "level" while maintaining a straight heading on a typical straight road.
3. Irregular or Premature tire wear: Slight to very slight "feathering" or "edge" wear on the
shoulders of tires is NOT considered unusual and
should even out with a tire rotation; if the customer is concerned about a "feathering" condition of
the tires, the customer could be advised to rotate the tires earlier than the next scheduled
mileage/maintenance interval (but no later than the next interval). Be sure to understand the
customer's driving habits as this will also heavily influence the tire wear performance; tire wear from
aggressive or abusive driving habits is NOT a warrantable condition.
Important Slight or mild feathering, cupping, edge or heel/toe wear of tire tread shoulders is
"normal" and can show up very early in a tire/vehicle service mileage; in fact, some new tires can
show evidence of feathering from the factory. These issues do NOT affect the overall performance
and tread life of the tire. Dealer personnel should always check the customer's maintenance
records to ensure that tire inflation pressure is being maintained to placard and that the tires are
being rotated (modified-X pattern) at the proper mileage intervals. Wheel alignments are NOT to be
performed for the types of "Normal" Tire Feathering shown in Figures 1-4 below.

terminal retainer.
10. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
Terminal Repair Procedure
Refer to the terminal crimping procedure in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 Terminal Repair
Kit.
Terminal Replacement Procedure
After the terminal is crimped to the wire, perform the following procedure in order to replace the
terminal.
1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal
into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other
terminals. Ensure that the terminal is
locked in place by gently pulling on the wire.
3. To assemble the connector, reverse the connector disassembly procedure.
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 TPA
is removed, be sure to reinstall it before reconnecting the connector.
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close

(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 Continuity
Testing for Continuity
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (DMM)
1. Set the DMM to the Ohms position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from
the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Select the MIN MAX function on the DMM. 5.
Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance, the circuit has
good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
Note: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to
ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.

4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Power
Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and
Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics).
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics).
Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Checking Aftermarket
Accessories).
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.

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

Specifications
Compression Check: Specifications
Engine Compression Test
The minimum compression in any 1 cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest
cylinder. No cylinder should read less than 690 kPa (100 psi). For example, if the highest pressure
in any 1 cylinder is 1 035 kPa (150 psi), the lowest allowable pressure for any other cylinder would
be 725 kPa (105 psi). (1 035 x 70% = 725) (150 x 70% = 105).

10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Special Tools
J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
Note: Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from
moisture or provide a good electrical connection.
Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and
coaxial. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there are special requirements such as moisture
sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
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 gauge.
- 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.

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

Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Special Tools
J 25070 Heat Gun
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure). Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Electrical Intermittents).
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.

Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is
often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or
a Digital Multimeter (DMM) at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine
if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gauge size.
Repairing a Fusible Link
Note: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Special Tools
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 Crimping Tool
* J 38125-5 Ultra Torch Special Tool
The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J-38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
GMLAN Repairs
Note: When making a repair to any GMLAN network, the original wire length after the repair must
be the same length as before the repair. If the network is a twisted pair, the twist must be
maintained after the repair is completed.
GMLAN has 2 types of networks, low speed and high speed. Low speed GMLAN has a single wire
and works at slow speeds. High speed GMLAN has 2 wires in a twisted pair and works at higher
speeds. For more information on GMLAN, refer to Data Link Communications Description and
Operation ( See: Description and Operation).
GMLAN Connector Terminal Repair
Note: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed
and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high
speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the
repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125. If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical
Diagnostic Procedures/Connector Repairs/Connector Repairs) for the appropriate connector repair
procedure.

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.

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

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

Idle Speed: Testing and Inspection
Throttle/Idle Learn
Description
The engine control module (ECM) learns the idle position of the throttle plate to ensure the correct
idle. The learned airflow values are stored within the ECM. These values are learned to adjust for
production variation and will continuously learn during the life of the vehicle to compensate for
reduced airflow due to coking. Anytime the throttle body airflow rate changes, for example due to
cleaning or replacing, the values must be relearned.
A vehicle that had a heavily coked throttle body that has been cleaned or replaced may take
several drive cycles to learn out the coking. To accelerate the process, the scan tool has the ability
to reset all learned values back to zero. A new ECM will also have values set to zero.
The idle may be unstable or a DTC may set if the learned values do not match the actual airflow.
Conditions for Running the Throttle Learn Procedure
* DTCs P0101, P0102, P0103, P0107, P0108, P0111, P0112, P0113, P0506, and P0507 are not
set.
* The engine speed is between 450-4,000 RPM.
* The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) is greater than 5 kPa.
* The mass air flow (MAF) is greater than 2 g/s.
* The ignition 1 voltage is greater than 10 volts.
Throttle Learn
With Scan Tool-Reset
1. Ignition ON, engine OFF. With a scan tool, perform the Idle Learn Reset in Module Setup. 2.
Start the engine, monitor the TB Idle Airflow Compensation parameter. The TB Idle Airflow
Compensation parameter value should equal 0
percent and the engine should be idling at a normal idle speed.
‹› If the engine is not idling normally, proceed with the Learn portion of the diagnostic.
3. Clear the DTCs and return to the diagnostic that referred you here.
Without Scan Tool-Learn
Important: Do NOT perform the Without Scan Tool-Learn procedure if DTCs are set. Refer to
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) List - Vehicle).
1. The engine speed is between 450-4,000 RPM. 2. The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) is
greater than 5 kPa. 3. The mass air flow (MAF) is greater than 2 g/s. 4. The ignition 1 voltage is
greater than 10 volts. 5. Start and idle the engine in Park for 3 minutes. 6. With a scan tool, monitor
desired and actual RPM. 7. The ECM will start to learn the new idle cells and Desired RPM should

Important: During the drive cycle the check engine light may come on with idle speed DTCs. If idle
speed codes are set, clear codes so the ECM can continue to learn.
10. After the 3 minute run time the engine should be idling normal.
‹› If the engine idle speed has not been learned the vehicle will need to be driven at speeds above
70 km/h (44 mph) with several decelerations
and extended idles.
11. After the drive cycle, the engine should be idling normally.
‹› If the engine idle speed has not been learned, turn OFF the ignition for 60 seconds and repeat
step 6.
12. Once the engine speed has returned to normal, clear DTCs.

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

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

OUTLOOK
Supercede: The Service Procedure in this bulletin has been revised. All vehicles will not require the
replacement of the front seat-mounted side impact airbag connectors.Please discard all copies of
bulletin 10085C, issued November 2010.
Condition
Certain 2008 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK vehicles, and 2010
model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles may experience wear which could lead to
corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the body main wiring harness
and the front driver and passenger side impact air bag. Over time, the wear may result in a
resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG System warning message in the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully functional. Over time, and if
the SERVICE AIR BAG System DIC warning message is ignored, the resistance could increase to
a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when commanded in a side impact
crash.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the front seat-mounted side impact airbag connectors.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2008 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK
vehicles, and 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles built within these VIN
breakpoints:
Important Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Required
Field Actions section in the Global Warranty system. Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints
may be involved.
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle
identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be
provided to US and Canadian dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports, or sent
directly to export dealers. Dealers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles
currently assigned.
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

Pigtail repair packs are available for SIR/SRS connectors with eight or less terminals. Only the
connector body is available for connectors with more than eight terminals. The terminated leads in
the J-38125 SIR/SRS Terminal Repair Kit can be used to replace damaged terminals when
replacing the connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Wiring Repairs)
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gauge size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice
crimping tool from the J-38125 Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the
integrity of the DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
Page 9683
3. Using terminal tool J-38125-11A or equivalent, release the wire dress cover locking tabs.
4. Pivot connector wire dress cover while removing from the connector body.
Page 10114
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

Circuit/System Description
When an E85 compatible vehicle is built, an engine control module (ECM) or powertrain control
module (PCM) replaced, or when the learned alcohol content has been reset with a scan tool, the
fuel system will need to contain ASTM gasoline with 15 percent or less ethanol content. If the fuel
in the fuel system needs to be drained and replaced with ASTM gasoline, the engine will need to
run at operating temperature and consume at least 1 liter (0.3 gallon) of fuel before the system will
recognize the correct alcohol content. Either ASTM gasoline or ASTM E85 fuel can then be used.
In order that the ECM/PCM recognizes a proper next fuel fill, the amount must be 11 liters (3
gallons) or more, and the ethanol content must be between 0-85 percent.
Reference Information Scan Tool Reference
Control Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for scan
tool information Special Tools
* J 44175 - Fuel Composition Tester
* J 44175-A - Fuel Composition Tester
Circuit/System Verification
1. Observe the Fuel Composition Learn parameter using the scan tool. The Fuel Composition
Learn parameter should display Inactive.
Note:
* The key needs to be turned OFF for at least 30 seconds after the parameter displays Inactive to
properly store the ethanol learned value in the ECM/PCM memory.
* The vehicle may need to be driven more than 11 km (7 mi) with the engine at operating
temperature.
‹› If the Fuel Composition Learn parameter displays Active, drive the vehicle until the Fuel
Composition Learn parameter displays Inactive.
2. Record the ECM/PCM estimated value of the ethanol content using a scan tool. 3. Record the
actual measured percentage of ethanol content using the J 44175 - Tester or J 44175-A - Tester.
The ECM/PCM estimated value
should be within 15 percent of the ethanol content measured with the J 44175 - Tester.
‹› If the ECM/PCM estimated value is not within 15 percent of the ethanol content measured with
the J44175 Tester continue with
Circuit/System Testing.
Circuit/System Testing - J44175 Ethanol Content Less Than 15 Percent
1. Use the scan tool to reset the Fuel Alcohol Content parameter to 3 percent. 2. Use the scan tool
to reset the fuel trim values.
Circuit/System Testing - J44175 Ethanol Content More Than 15 Percent
1. Perform a complete key cycle, key ON, engine OFF, in order to ensure that the ECM/PCM
recognizes a refueling event.
Note: It may be necessary to partially drain the fuel tank.
2. Key OFF, add at least 11 liters (3 gallons) of non-blended gasoline to the fuel tank. 3. Use the
scan tool to reset the Fuel Alcohol Content parameter to 3 percent.

Dear General Motors Customer:
This notice is sent to inform you that General Motors is conducting a Customer Satisfaction
Program that affects your 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu or Pontiac G6.
We have learned that your 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu or Pontiac G6 may have a condition
in which wear could lead to corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the
body main wiring harness and the front driver and passenger side impact airbag. Over time, the
wear may result in a resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG system warning message in
the Driver Information Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully
functional. Over time, and if the SERVICE AIR BAG system DIC warning message is ignored, the
resistance could increase to a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when
commanded in a side impact crash.
Your Malibu or G6 may have been serviced previously to reroute and secure both front
seat-mounted side impact airbag wire harnesses. However, there have been reports of the
SERVICE AIR BAG message illuminating in the Driver Information Center (DIC) on vehicles that
had the wire harnesses rerouted and secured, but did not have new connectors installed. Our
records indicate that your vehicle may not have had the new connectors installed.
What We Will Do: Since your vehicle may not have had new connectors installed, your GM dealer
will inspect your vehicle to determine if new connectors have been installed, and will install two new
connectors, if required. This service will be performed for you at no charge.
What You Should Do: To limit any possible inconvenience, we recommend that you contact your
dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment for this repair.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, just contact your dealer or the appropriate
Customer Assistance Center at the number listed below.
Courtesy Transportation
If your vehicle is within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, your dealer may provide you with shuttle
service or some other form of courtesy transportation while your vehicle is at the dealership for this
repair. Please refer to your Owner Manual and your dealer for details on Courtesy Transportation.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience or concern that this situation may cause you. We want you
to know that we will do our best, throughout your ownership experience, to ensure that your GM
vehicle provides you many miles of enjoyable driving.

Bulletin No.: 10085D
Date: February 03, 2011
Subject: 10085D - Airbag Readiness Light/Service Airbag Message - Replace Connectors
Models:
2008 Buick Enclave 2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2008 GMC Acadia 2010 Pontiac G6 2008 Saturn
OUTLOOK
Supercede: The Service Procedure in this bulletin has been revised. All vehicles will not require the
replacement of the front seat-mounted side impact airbag connectors.Please discard all copies of
bulletin 10085C, issued November 2010.
Condition
Certain 2008 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK vehicles, and 2010
model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles may experience wear which could lead to
corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the body main wiring harness
and the front driver and passenger side impact air bag. Over time, the wear may result in a
resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG System warning message in the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully functional. Over time, and if
the SERVICE AIR BAG System DIC warning message is ignored, the resistance could increase to
a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when commanded in a side impact
crash.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the front seat-mounted side impact airbag connectors.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2008 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK
vehicles, and 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles built within these VIN
breakpoints:
Important Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Required
Field Actions section in the Global Warranty system. Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints
may be involved.
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle
identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be
provided to US and Canadian dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports, or sent
directly to export dealers. Dealers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles
currently assigned.
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.

4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Power
Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and
Ground Distribution/System Diagram/Power Distribution Schematics).
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution/System
Diagram/Ground Distribution Schematics).
Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Checking Aftermarket
Accessories).
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.

13. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve. 14. Using the
heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing. 15. Gradually move the heat from
the center to the open end of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
16. Replace any reflective tape and clips that may have been remove during the repair.
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
If the wire insulation has been chafed, or broken, enough to show the conductive portion of the
wire, and the wire is not damaged, determine the length of insulation that needs to be repaired. If
the repair is less than 280 mm (11 in), cut the wire within the damaged area. Then slide the
appropriate heat shrink tubing (listed below) over the wire, and repair the wire by splicing the wires
together. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Once the wire is spliced
together slide heat shrink tubing over the damaged area and apply heat to seal the repaired wire.
If the wire is damaged, or the damaged area is larger than 280 mm (11 in), then replace the
damaged wire by splicing in a new section of wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice
Sleeves (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General
Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).

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.

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

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.

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.

GMLAN Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/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 gauge size
(0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gauge
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- 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 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The

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

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.

Ground Repair
Electrical Grounds
Proper electrical system function relies on secure, positive, corrosion-free 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 replacements.
In general, electrical ground connections are accomplished using one, or a combination of, three
attachment methods:
* Welded M6 stud and nut
* Welded M6 nut and bolt
* Welded M8 nut and bolt
Caution: Use GM approved replacement fasteners with conductive finish for electrical ground
repair.
Determine which attachment method is used, and carry out the appropriate repair.
M6 Weld Stud Replacement

GMLAN Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/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 gauge size
(0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gauge
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- 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 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the

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 Continuity
Testing for Continuity
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test

(Diagnose/Repair Door Lock Assembly/Circuit)
Models:
2006-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2006-2009 Pontiac G6 2006-2009 Saturn AURA
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-64-022 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
- The door ajar message stays on or comes on intermittently.
- The interior lights stay on or turn on intermittently.
- The content theft deterrent alarm goes off intermittently.
- RAP does not cancel when the door is opened allowing the radio, power windows, sunroof and
the compass to remain powered up.
- The battery is discharged.
Cause
These conditions may be caused by water intrusion into the door ajar switch (part of the door lock
assembly) which causes an incorrect switch status input to the BCM. This condition can be
intermittent and wet weather may aggravate this condition.
Correction
Use the following steps to aid in diagnosis of the concern.
Important DO NOT replace the body control module (BCM) for this concern.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) and monitor the door ajar switch inputs to the BCM. The Tech 2(R) lists the
left front door separately, then all passenger doors
together.
2. Check if a door ajar message is active with the doors closed. If this condition is not present,
washing the vehicle may induce the concern. Note that
the vehicle may have to sit for up to two hours.
3. If the concern is the RAP does not cancel when the left front door is opened, suspect the left
door lock assembly. If the door ajar message is active
on the passenger door, it could be any of the other doors.
4. Try opening and closing each passenger door one at a time while monitoring the door ajar status
to see if one of the doors will cause the message
to change to door closed. If it does, suspect that door lock.
5. If the message does not change, you can isolate which door is indicating ajar by disconnecting
the individual door electrical connector at the
pass-through on the pillar side. Always start with the right front door first. If the message changes
to door closed when the door is disconnected, suspect that door lock.
Once you have identified the suspect door, refer to SI for complete circuit testing. Refer to
Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle Access in SI.
Warranty Information
Important Use the appropriate labor operation for the repair performed.

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

resulting in possible damage or contamination.
12. Remove the control solenoid valve assembly filter plate (6).
* Discard the filler plate. It is not reusable.
* Inspect the pressure switch manifold seals for damage or contamination. Replace the control
solenoid valve assembly as necessary.
* Inspect the upper channel plate bolt holes for damage, peening or burnelling. Any damage
around the bolt holes near the pressure control switch (PCS) feed holes could cause leakage
around the PCS seals. Replace the upper channel plate as necessary.
Installation Procedure
Caution: Use care when removing or installing the filter plate assembly. A broken or missing
retaining tab may not adequately secure the filter plate to the control solenoid valve assembly,
resulting in possible damage or contamination.
1. Install a NEW control solenoid valve assembly filter plate (1).
Page 2838
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.

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

1. Place the floor shift lever in the PARK position. 2. Turn the ignition key cylinder to the LOCK
position. 3. If the front floor console is in place, remove the console. Refer to Front Floor Console
Replacement (See: Body and Frame/Interior Moulding /
Trim/Console/Service and Repair/Front Floor Console Replacement).
Important: *
The key must not be able to be removed from the ignition cylinder with the transmission control
lever in any position other than PARK. If they key can be removed in any other position, adjustment
or repair is necessary.
* The shift lever must not move from park unless the key is in the ON position. If the lever can be
removed from park with the key in the OFF position, adjust or repair the park lock cable.
4. While using a small screwdriver to release the adjuster lock tang, rotate the threaded cable
adjuster (1) until 3 threads are showing. 5. Re-check park lock operation. If park lock does not
function, fine tune the cable 1/2 turn at a time until the proper operation is achieved.

2. Install the TFP switch assembly onto the control valve body assembly and install the bolts.
Tighten the control valve body bolts to 12 Nm (9 lb ft).
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.
Note: It is recommended that transmission adaptive pressure (TAP) information be reset.
Resetting the TAP values using a scan tool will erase all learned values in all cells. As a result, The
ECM, PCM or TCM will need to relearn TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as
new TAP values are learned.
6. Reset the TAP values. Refer to Transmission Adaptive Functions See: Automatic
Transmission/Transaxle/Description and Operation.
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.

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

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

Tires: Removal and Replacement
Tire Dismounting and Mounting
Caution: Use a tire changing machine in order to dismount tires. Do not use hand tools or tire irons
alone in order to remove the tire from the wheel. Damage to the tire beads or the wheel rim could
result.
Caution: Do not scratch or damage the clear coating on aluminum wheels with the tire changing
equipment. Scratching the clear coating could cause the aluminum wheel to corrode and the clear
coating to peel from the wheel.
Caution: Damage to either the tire bead or the wheel mounting holes can result from the use of
improper wheel attachment or tire mounting procedures. It takes up to 70 seconds for all of the air
to completely exhaust from a large tire. Failure to follow the proper procedures could cause the tire
changer to put enough force on the tire to bend the wheel at the mounting surface. Such damage
may result in vibration and/or shimmy, and under severe usage lead to wheel cracking.
1. Remove the valve core from the valve stem. 2. Deflate the tire completely.
Note: Rim-clamp European-type tire changers are recommended.
3. Use the tire changer in order to remove the tire from the wheel. Follow steps 4-7 to remove the
tire from the wheel.
4. When separating the tire bead from the wheel, position the bead breaking fixture 90, 180 and
270 degrees from the valve stem.
Caution: Failure to position valve stem in proper position while dismounting and mounting the tire
may result in the TPM sensor to become damaged.
5. Position the wheel and tire so the valve stem is at the 7 o'clock position relative to the head. The
tire iron or pry bar can be inserted when prying
the outer tire bead up and over the mounting/dismounting head.

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

Engine Control Module (ECM) X2 (LE5 or LE9)
Description and Operation
Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
Camshaft Actuator System Description
Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator System
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is an electro-hydraulic operated device used for a
variety of engine performance and operational enhancements. These enhancements include lower
emission output through exhaust gas dilution of the intake charge in the combustion chamber, a
broader engine torque range, and improved fuel economy. The CMP actuator system
accomplishes this by changing the angle or timing of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft
position. The CMP actuator simply allows earlier or later intake and exhaust valve opening during
the four stroke engine cycle. The CMP actuator cannot vary the duration of valve opening, or the
valve lift.
During engine OFF, engine idling conditions, and engine shutdown, the camshaft actuator is held in
the Park position. Internal to the CMP actuator assembly is a return spring and a locking pin.
During non-phasing modes of the camshaft, the return spring rotates the camshaft back to the Park
position, and the locking pin retains the CMP actuator sprocket to the camshaft.
CMP Actuator System Operation
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is controlled by the engine control module (ECM).
The ECM sends a signal to a CMP actuator solenoid in order to control the amount of engine oil
flow to a Cam Actuator passage. The pressurized engine oil is sent to unseat the locking pin, and
to the vane and rotor assembly of the CMP actuator. There are 2 different passages for oil to flow
through, a passage for cam advance and a passage for cam retard. The Cam Actuator is attached
to a camshaft and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle of the camshaft relative to
crankshaft position (CKP). Engine oil pressure (EOP), viscosity, temperature and engine oil level
can have an adverse affect on Cam Actuator performance.

Messages
TECHNICAL
Bulletin No.: 09-08-64-022A
Date: March 24, 2010
Subject: Various Intermittent Electrical Concerns - Door Ajar Message, Interior Lights On, Theft
Deterrent Alarm, Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Stays On, Discharged Battery
(Diagnose/Repair Door Lock Assembly/Circuit)
Models:
2006-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2006-2009 Pontiac G6 2006-2009 Saturn AURA
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-64-022 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
- The door ajar message stays on or comes on intermittently.
- The interior lights stay on or turn on intermittently.
- The content theft deterrent alarm goes off intermittently.
- RAP does not cancel when the door is opened allowing the radio, power windows, sunroof and
the compass to remain powered up.
- The battery is discharged.
Cause
These conditions may be caused by water intrusion into the door ajar switch (part of the door lock
assembly) which causes an incorrect switch status input to the BCM. This condition can be
intermittent and wet weather may aggravate this condition.
Correction
Use the following steps to aid in diagnosis of the concern.
Important DO NOT replace the body control module (BCM) for this concern.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) and monitor the door ajar switch inputs to the BCM. The Tech 2(R) lists the
left front door separately, then all passenger doors
together.
2. Check if a door ajar message is active with the doors closed. If this condition is not present,
washing the vehicle may induce the concern. Note that
the vehicle may have to sit for up to two hours.
3. If the concern is the RAP does not cancel when the left front door is opened, suspect the left
door lock assembly. If the door ajar message is active
on the passenger door, it could be any of the other doors.
4. Try opening and closing each passenger door one at a time while monitoring the door ajar status
to see if one of the doors will cause the message
to change to door closed. If it does, suspect that door lock.
5. If the message does not change, you can isolate which door is indicating ajar by disconnecting
the individual door electrical connector at the
pass-through on the pillar side. Always start with the right front door first. If the message changes
to door closed when the door is disconnected, suspect that door lock.
Once you have identified the suspect door, refer to SI for complete circuit testing. Refer to
Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle Access in SI.
Warranty Information
Important Use the appropriate labor operation for the repair performed.

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

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

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

Warning
* Tire changing can be dangerous and should be done by trained professionals using proper tools
and procedures. Always read and understand any manufacturer's warnings contained in their
customers literature or molded into the tire sidewall.
* Serious eye and ear injury may result from not wearing adequate eye and ear protection while
repairing tires.
* NEVER inflate beyond 275 kPa (40 pounds) pressure to seat beads.
* NEVER stand, lean or reach over the assembly during inflation.
Repairable area on a radial tire.
Note:
* NEVER repair tires worn to the tread indicators 1.59 mm (2/32 in) remaining depth.
* NEVER repair tires with a tread puncture larger than 6.35 mm (1/4 in).
* NEVER substitute an inner tube for a permissible or non-permissible repair.
* NEVER perform an outside-in tire repair (plug only, on the wheel).
* Every tire must be removed from the wheel for proper inspection and repair.
* Regardless of the type of repair used, the repair must seal the inner liner and fill the injury.
* Consult with repair material supplier/manufacturer for repair unit application procedures and
repair tools/repair material recommendations.
Three basic steps for tire puncture repair:
1. Remove the tire from the wheel for inspection and repair. 2. Fill the injury (puncture) to keep
moisture out. 3. Seal the inner liner with a repair unit to prevent air loss.
External Inspection
1. Prior to demounting, inspect the tire surface, the valve and the wheel for the source of the leak
by using a water and soap solution. Mark the
injured area and totally deflate the tire by removing the valve core.
2. Demount the tire from the wheel and place the tire on a well-lighted spreader.

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

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).

Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The control module enables the appropriate fuel injector pulse for each cylinder. The ignition
voltage is supplied directly to the fuel injectors. The control module controls each fuel injector by
grounding the control circuit via a solid state device called a driver. A fuel injector coil winding
resistance that is too high or too low will affect the engine driveability. A fuel injector control circuit
DTC may not set, but a misfire may be apparent. The fuel injector coil windings are affected by
temperature. The resistance of the fuel injector coil windings will increase as the temperature of the
fuel injector increases.
The Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT), CH-47976, is used to test the fuel pump, fuel system leak
down, and the fuel injectors. Following the User Guide, CH 47976-11, and the on screen prompts
or selections, will indicate the steps required to perform each of the available tests. The tester will
perform all of the tests automatically and display results of the test. The results can also be down
loaded for storage and printing.

Verify the resistance of each fuel injector with one of the following methods:
* If the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is between 10-32°C (50-90°F), the resistance of
each fuel injector should be 11-14ohm.
‹› If the injectors measure OK, perform the AFIT Test Procedure. ‹› If not within the specified range,
replace the fuel injector.
* If the ECT sensor is not between 10-32°C (50-90°F), measure and record the resistance of each
fuel injector with a DMM. Subtract the lowest resistance value from the highest resistance value.
The difference between the lowest value and the highest value should be equal to or less than
3ohm.
‹› If the difference is equal to or less than 3ohm, refer to AFIT Test Procedure. ‹› If the difference is
more than 3ohm, add all of the fuel injector resistance values to obtain a total resistance value.

Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned
ON. The ECM will disable the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds unless the ECM detects ignition
reference pulses. The ECM continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as ignition reference
pulses are detected. The ECM 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
pump module, eliminating the need for a return pipe from the engine. A returnless fuel system
reduces the internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the engine to the
fuel tank. Reducing the internal temperature of the fuel tank results in lower evaporative emissions.
The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel pump
module inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel feed pipe to
the fuel injection system. The fuel pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow than is needed by the
fuel injection system. The fuel pump also supplies fuel to a venturi pump located on the bottom of
the fuel pump module. The function of the venturi pump is to fill the fuel pump module reservoir.
The fuel pressure regulator, a part of the fuel pump module, maintains the correct fuel pressure to
the fuel injection system. The fuel pump module contains a reverse flow check valve. The check
valve and the fuel pressure regulator maintain fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail in
order to prevent long cranking times.

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.

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

Tire Rotation
Tire Rotation
Rotate the tire and wheel assemblies at frequent intervals to equalize wear. Refer to Maintenance
Schedule (See: Maintenance). 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.
Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation (See: Service and Repair).

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor Learn
Special Tools
J-46079 Tire Pressure Monitor Diagnostic Tool
Learn Mode Description
The tire pressure monitor (TPM) system uses the instrument panel cluster (IPC), body control
module (BCM), remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR), keyless entry transmitter, 4 radio
frequency transmitting pressure sensors, and the serial data circuit to perform the TPM learn mode
functions. The sensor learn procedure must be performed after every tire rotation, RCDLR
replacement, or sensor replacement. Once the learn mode has been enabled, each of the sensors
unique identification codes can be learned into the RCDLR memory. When a sensor ID has been
learned, the RCDLR sends a serial data message to the BCM to sound a horn chirp. This verifies
the sensor has transmitted its ID and the RCDLR has received and learned it. The RCDLR must
learn the sensor IDs in the proper sequence to determine correct sensor location. The first learned
ID is assigned to the left front location, the second to right front, the third to right rear and the fourth
to left rear. The turn signals will individually illuminate indicating which location is to be learned in
the proper sequence.
Sensor Functions Using J-46079
Each sensor has an internal low frequency coil. When the J-46079 is used in activate mode, it
produces a low frequency transmission that activates the sensor. The sensor responds to a low
frequency activation by transmitting in learn mode. When the RCDLR receives a learn mode
transmission while in TPM learn mode, it will assign that sensors ID to the location on the vehicle
relative to the order in which it was learned.
Sensor Functions Using Pressure Increase/Decrease Method
Each sensor takes a pressure measurement sample once every 30 seconds while in stationary
mode. If the tire pressure increases, or decreases by more than 8.3 kPa (1.2 psi) from the last
pressure measurement, another measurement will occur immediately to verify the change in
pressure. If a pressure change has indeed occurred, the sensor transmits in Learn mode. When
the RCDLR receives a Learn mode transmission while in TPM learn mode, it will assign that
sensor's ID to the location on the vehicle relative to the order in which it was learned.
Learn Mode Cancellation
The learn mode will cancel if the ignition is cycled to OFF or if more than 2 minutes has elapsed for
any sensor that has not been learned. If the learn mode is cancelled before the first sensor is
learned, the original sensor IDs will be maintained. If the learn mode is canceled after the first
sensor is learned, the following will occur:
* All stored sensor IDs will be invalidated in the RCDLR memory.
* If equipped, the DIC will display dashes instead of tire pressures.
* DTC C0775 will be set.
These conditions will now require the learn procedure to be repeated for the system to function
properly.
TPM Learn Procedure
Note: If using the scan tool to enable the learn mode, the J-46079 must be used to activate the
sensors. When this preferred method is used, any stray sensor signals will not affect the learn
procedure. In the event a particular sensor's information is displayed on the special tool upon
activation but the horn does not chirp, it may be necessary to rotate the wheel valve stem to a
different position due to the sensor signal is being blocked by another component.
If using the keyless entry transmitter or DIC buttons to enable the learn mode, the J-46079 or
Pressure Increase/Decrease Method may be used. Before proceeding with this method, ensure
that no other learn procedure is being performed simultaneously or that tire pressures are not being
adjusted on another TPM equipped vehicle within close proximity. Stray signals from other TPM
equipped vehicles just driving by can be inadvertently learned. If any random horn chirps are heard
from the vehicle while performing the learn procedure, most likely a stray sensor has been learned
and the procedure will need to be cancelled and repeated. Under these circumstances, performing
the TPM Learn Procedure away from other vehicles would be highly recommended. In the event a
particular sensor activation does not cause the horn to chirp, it may be necessary to rotate the
wheel valve stem to a different position due to the sensor signal is being blocked by another
component.
Preferred Scan Tool Learn Enable Method
1. Using a scan tool, initiate the TPM Learn Mode. A double horn chirp will sound indicating the
Learn Mode has been enabled. The left front turn
signal will also be illuminated.
2. Starting with the left front tire, active the sensor by holding the antenna of the J-46079 aimed
upward against the tire sidewall close to the wheel
rim at the valve stem location. Press and release the Activate button and wait for a horn chirp.
Once the horn chirp has sounded, the sensor information is learned and the turn signal in the next
location to be learned will illuminate.

ENGINEERING INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 09-03-10-009
Date: June 12, 2009
Subject: EI09137 - Possible Wheel/Tire Vibration on Vehicles Equipped with P225/50R18
Goodyear Tires (Engineering Information)
Models:
2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2008-2010 Pontiac G6 2008-2009 Saturn AURA
Attention:
Proceed with this bulletin ONLY if the customer has commented about this concern AND the EI
number is listed in GMVIS. If the customer has not commented about this condition, or if the EI
does not show in GMVIS, disregard this bulletin and proceed with diagnostics found in published
service information. THIS IS NOT A RECALL. Refer to GM Corporate Service Bulletin
04-00-89-053B for more details on the use of Engineering Information bulletins.
Condition
Important Only vehicles equipped with 18" Goodyear Eagle LS2 P225/50R18 tires (TPC SPEC
1257 MS) are the subject of this bulletin.
Some customers may comment on a tire or vehicle vibration.
Cause
GM Engineering is attempting to determine the root cause for a concern with vibrations in the
vehicles identified above and equipped with Goodyear tires. GM has a need to obtain technical
information from the dealer technician during diagnosis and PRIOR to repair. As a result, this
information will be used by engineering to help root cause the customer's concern.
Important If the customer vehicle has less than 800 km (500 mi) since delivery, the vibration may
be caused by flat spots on the tires. While a vehicle sits in dealer inventory for extended periods,
flat spots may develop on the tires that require extended driving to be eliminated. In many cases,
the vibration will correct itself as the tire regains it's original round shape.
Correction
During diagnosis of the customer's concern, document the following information.
1. What is the customer's concern? Be specific. 2. When did the customer first notice the concern?
3. Under what conditions can the concern be duplicated? 4. Does the vehicle currently exhibit the
condition?
- If YES, go to Step 5
- If NO, no further repairs are possible at this time; do not proceed with this bulletin.
5. Complete the applicable sections of the Vibration Analysis Worksheet. Refer to Corporate
Bulletin Number 03-00-91-001E. 6. Contact the engineer listed below and provide the data
collected.
Notice

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

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

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Engine Compression Test
1. Charge the battery if the battery is not fully charged. 2. Disable the ignition system. 3. Disable
the fuel injection system. 4. Remove all spark plugs. 5. Turn the ignition to the ON position. 6.
Depress the accelerator pedal to position the throttle plate wide open. 7. Start with the compression
gauge at zero and crank the engine through 4 compression strokes, 4 puffs. 8. Measure the
compression for each cylinder. Record the readings. 9. If a cylinder has low compression, inject
approximately 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of engine oil into the combustion chamber through the spark
plug
hole. Measure the compression again and record the reading.
10. The minimum compression in any 1 cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest
cylinder. No cylinder should read less than 690 kPa
(100 psi). For example, if the highest pressure in any 1 cylinder is 1 035 kPa (150 psi), the lowest
allowable pressure for any other cylinder would be 725 kPa (105 psi). (1 035 x 70% = 725) (150 x
70% = 105).
* Normal - Compression builds up quickly and evenly to the specified compression for each
cylinder.
* Piston Rings Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression builds up with the
following strokes, but does not reach normal. Compression improves considerably when you add
oil.
* Valves Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression usually does not build up
on the following strokes. Compression does not improve much when you add oil.
* If 2 adjacent cylinders have lower than normal compression, and injecting oil into the cylinders
does not increase the compression, the cause may be a head gasket leaking between the
cylinders.

nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.

* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Electrical

short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot

Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion is
a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is a small motion between
electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that
the electrical resistance across the connection increases. Movement between the contacting
surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of
paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and hard to see. Vibration and thermal
expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since vehicles vibrate and
can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin, copper,
nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult
to see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add Nyogel lubricant 760G
(dielectric grease) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe
away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the
terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.

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 the jouncing operation a total of 3 times. 4. You will
need 2 measurements to compute the Z height. Measurement 1 should be taken from the bottom
edge of the support flange (X) to the
ground line. Measurement 2 should be taken from the bottom edge of the lowest point of the ball
stud (Y) to the ground line. Subtract measurement 2 (Y) from measurement 1 (X). 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 a total
of 3 times. 8. Measure the Z height dimension. 9. The true Z height dimension number is the
average of the high and the low measurements. Refer to Trim Height Specifications (See:

Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
* If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
* To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply
stores) in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector
to prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.

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

GMLAN Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/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 gauge size
(0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gauge
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- 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 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The

Description and Operation
Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
Camshaft Actuator System Description
Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator System
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is an electro-hydraulic operated device used for a
variety of engine performance and operational enhancements. These enhancements include lower
emission output through exhaust gas dilution of the intake charge in the combustion chamber, a
broader engine torque range, and improved fuel economy. The CMP actuator system
accomplishes this by changing the angle or timing of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft
position. The CMP actuator simply allows earlier or later intake and exhaust valve opening during
the four stroke engine cycle. The CMP actuator cannot vary the duration of valve opening, or the
valve lift.
During engine OFF, engine idling conditions, and engine shutdown, the camshaft actuator is held in
the Park position. Internal to the CMP actuator assembly is a return spring and a locking pin.
During non-phasing modes of the camshaft, the return spring rotates the camshaft back to the Park
position, and the locking pin retains the CMP actuator sprocket to the camshaft.
CMP Actuator System Operation
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is controlled by the engine control module (ECM).
The ECM sends a signal to a CMP actuator solenoid in order to control the amount of engine oil
flow to a Cam Actuator passage. The pressurized engine oil is sent to unseat the locking pin, and
to the vane and rotor assembly of the CMP actuator. There are 2 different passages for oil to flow
through, a passage for cam advance and a passage for cam retard. The Cam Actuator is attached

Testing for a Short to Voltage
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Set the Digital Multimeter (DMM) to the V (DC) position. 4. Connect the positive lead of the
DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 7. If the voltage measured is greater
than 1 V, there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Special Tools
J 25070 Heat Gun
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure). Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Electrical Intermittents).
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.

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.

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

* Inspect the insulator (2) for cracks. All or part of the electrical charge may arc through the crack
instead of the electrodes (3, 4).
* Inspect for evidence of improper arcing.
- Measure the gap between the center electrode (4) and the side electrode (3) terminals. Refer to
Ignition System Specifications (See: Specifications). An excessively wide electrode gap can
prevent correct spark plug operation.
- Inspect for the correct spark plug torque. Refer to Ignition System Specifications (See:
Specifications). Insufficient torque can prevent correct spark plug operation. An over torqued spark
plug, causes the insulator (2) to crack.
- Inspect for signs of tracking that occurred near the insulator tip instead of the center electrode (4).
- Inspect for a broken or worn side electrode (3).
- Inspect for a broken, worn, or loose center electrode (4) by shaking the spark plug.
* A rattling sound indicates internal damage.
* A loose center electrode (4) reduces the spark intensity.
- Inspect for bridged electrodes (3, 4). Deposits on the electrodes (3, 4) reduce or eliminates the
gap.
- Inspect for worn or missing platinum pads on the electrodes (3, 4) If equipped.
- Inspect for excessive fouling.
* Inspect the spark plug recess area of the cylinder head for debris. Dirty or damaged threads can
cause the spark plug not to seat correctly during installation.

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

Models:
2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2006-2010 Pontiac G6 2007-2010 Saturn AURA All with RPO LY7,
LZ4, LZ9 or LZE V6 Engine
Condition
Some customers may comment on poor A/C cooling performance.
Technicians may find that the cooling fan fuse is blown.
Cause
High cooling fan start up loads may cause the 30-amp cooling fan fuse, located in the underhood
fuse block, to blow. The lack of air flow through the A/C condenser, caused by the inoperative
high-speed cooling fan, may affect the condenser's ability to dissipate heat.
Correction
Use the following procedure to install a heavier gauge power feed wire from the underhood fuse
block to the cooling fan. After the wiring update is completed, replace the 30-amp cooling fan fuse
in the underhood fuse block with a 40-amp fuse.
1. Disconnect and remove the battery. Refer to Battery Replacement in SI. 2. Remove the
windshield washer fill tube. Refer to Windshield Washer Solvent Container Filler Tube
Replacement in SI. 3. Disconnect the underhood fuse block from it's mounting base. Refer to

GMLAN Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/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 gauge size
(0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gauge
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- 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

Dear General Motors Customer:
This notice is sent to inform you that General Motors is conducting a Customer Satisfaction
Program that affects your 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu or Pontiac G6.
We have learned that your 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu or Pontiac G6 may have a condition
in which wear could lead to corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the
body main wiring harness and the front driver and passenger side impact airbag. Over time, the
wear may result in a resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG system warning message in
the Driver Information Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully
functional. Over time, and if the SERVICE AIR BAG system DIC warning message is ignored, the
resistance could increase to a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when
commanded in a side impact crash.
Your Malibu or G6 may have been serviced previously to reroute and secure both front
seat-mounted side impact airbag wire harnesses. However, there have been reports of the
SERVICE AIR BAG message illuminating in the Driver Information Center (DIC) on vehicles that
had the wire harnesses rerouted and secured, but did not have new connectors installed. Our
records indicate that your vehicle may not have had the new connectors installed.
What We Will Do: Since your vehicle may not have had new connectors installed, your GM dealer
will inspect your vehicle to determine if new connectors have been installed, and will install two new
connectors, if required. This service will be performed for you at no charge.
What You Should Do: To limit any possible inconvenience, we recommend that you contact your
dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment for this repair.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, just contact your dealer or the appropriate
Customer Assistance Center at the number listed below.
Courtesy Transportation
If your vehicle is within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, your dealer may provide you with shuttle
service or some other form of courtesy transportation while your vehicle is at the dealership for this
repair. Please refer to your Owner Manual and your dealer for details on Courtesy Transportation.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience or concern that this situation may cause you. We want you
to know that we will do our best, throughout your ownership experience, to ensure that your GM
vehicle provides you many miles of enjoyable driving.

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 Crimping Tool
* J 38125-5 Ultra Torch Special Tool
The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J-38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
GMLAN Repairs
Note: When making a repair to any GMLAN network, the original wire length after the repair must
be the same length as before the repair. If the network is a twisted pair, the twist must be
maintained after the repair is completed.
GMLAN has 2 types of networks, low speed and high speed. Low speed GMLAN has a single wire
and works at slow speeds. High speed GMLAN has 2 wires in a twisted pair and works at higher
speeds. For more information on GMLAN, refer to Data Link Communications Description and
Operation ( See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information
Bus/Description and Operation).
GMLAN Connector Terminal Repair
Note: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed
and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high
speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the
repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125. If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical
Diagnostic Procedures/Connector Repairs/Connector Repairs) for the appropriate connector repair
procedure.

Tires: Description and Operation Tire Inflation Description
Tire Inflation Description
This vehicle has been engineered to operate up to the stated load capacity with wheel and tire
assemblies of the type, size, construction, and configuration as originally installed. Maintenance of
the tire inflation pressures is critical to the continued satisfactory performance, handling, and
operating economy of the vehicle. Operation with incorrectly or improperly inflated tires can
adversely affect vehicle performance and may contribute to the following:
* Reduced fuel economy
* Tire overloading
* Shortened tire life
* Excessive tire wear
* Uneven tire wear
* Vehicle handling concerns
Inspect the tire pressures when the vehicle has not been driven for at least 3 hours or not more
than 1.6 km (1 mi) and when the tires are cool to the touch.
Tire inflation pressures should be inspected monthly and before an extended trip and adjusted to
meet the specifications listed for the particular vehicle. Replace any missing or damaged tire valve
stem extensions and/or caps to prevent the intrusion of water and contaminates.
One pound per square inch (psi) equals 6.9 kilopascals (kPa). The following table illustrates the
conversion of kilopascals to pounds per square inch:
For the correct inflation pressures refer to the vehicle's Tire Placard.
Tires inflated to a higher than recommended pressure can contribute to the following conditions:
* A hard ride
* Tire bruising
* Rapid tread wear at the center of the tire
Tires inflated to a lower than recommended pressure can contribute to the following conditions:
* Tire squeal on turns
* Hard steering
* Rapid and/or uneven wear on the outer edges of the tread
* Tire rim bruises and tire rim rupture
* Tire cord breakage
* High tire temperatures
* Sluggish vehicle handling
* Higher fuel consumption
Unequal pressure on the same axle can cause the following conditions:
Page 1316
Note: Fluid that is very dark or black and has a burnt odor usually indicates contamination or
overheating.
* If the fluid color is very dark or black and has a burnt odor, inspect the fluid for excessive metal
particles or other debris which may indicate transmission damage. Refer to Road Test (See:
Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Testing and Inspection/Initial
Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/6T70/6T75 - Automatic Transmission) to verify transmission
operation. Change the transmission fluid if no other conditions are found.

Diagnostic Instructions
* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection
and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic
procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The control module enables the appropriate fuel injector pulse for each cylinder. The ignition
voltage is supplied directly to the fuel injectors. The control module controls each fuel injector by
grounding the control circuit via a solid state device called a driver. A fuel injector coil winding
resistance that is too high or too low will affect the engine driveability. A fuel injector control circuit
DTC may not set, but a misfire may be apparent. The fuel injector coil windings are affected by
temperature. The resistance of the fuel injector coil windings will increase as the temperature of the
fuel injector increases.

Component Testing
Verify the resistance of each fuel injector with one of the following methods:
* If the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is between 10-32°C (50-90°F), the resistance of
each fuel injector should be 11-14 ohm.
‹› If the injectors measure OK, perform the Fuel Injector Balance Test. Refer to Fuel Injector
Balance Test (See: Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Fuel Injector Balance
Test).
‹› If not within the specified range, replace the fuel injector.
* If the ECT sensor is not between 10-32°C (50-90°F), measure and record the resistance of each
fuel injector. Subtract the lowest resistance value from the highest resistance value. The difference
between the lowest value and the highest value should be equal to or less than 3 ohm.
‹› If the difference is equal to or less than 3 ohm, perform the Fuel Injector Balance Test. Refer to
Fuel Injector Balance Test (See: Computers
and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Fuel
Injector Balance Test).
‹› If the difference is more than 3 ohm, add all of the fuel injector resistance values to obtain a total
resistance value. Divide the total resistance
value by the number of fuel injectors to obtain an average resistance value. Subtract the lowest
individual fuel injector resistance value from the average resistance value. Compute the difference
between the highest individual fuel injector resistance value and the average resistance value.
Replace the fuel injector that displays the greatest difference above or below the average.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures/Verification Tests and
Procedures) after completing the diagnostic procedure.

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

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.

* 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.

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

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Special Tools
J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
Note: Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from
moisture or provide a good electrical connection.
Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and
coaxial. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there are special requirements such as moisture
sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
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 gauge.
- 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.

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Set the Digital Multimeter (DMM) to the V (DC) position. 4. Connect the positive lead of the
DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 7. If the voltage measured is greater
than 1 V, there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Special Tools
J 25070 Heat Gun
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure). Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Electrical Intermittents).
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.

Drive Belt: Description and Operation
Drive Belt System Description
The drive belt system consists of the following components:
* The drive belt
* The drive belt tensioner
* The drive belt idler pulley
* The crankshaft balancer pulley
* The accessory drive component mounting brackets
* The accessory drive components
- The power steering pump, if belt driven
- The generator
- The A/C compressor, if equipped
- The engine cooling fan, if belt driven
- The water pump, if belt driven
- The vacuum pump, if equipped
- The air compressor, if equipped
The drive belt system may use one belt or two belts. The drive belt is thin so that it can bend
backward 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 rubber (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.

* J-38125-8 - Splice Sleeve Crimp Tool
* J-38125-5 - Ultra Torch
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Note: All repairs near the engine manifold, turbo engine and all exhaust pipes should follow the
High Temperature Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/High Temperature Wiring
Repairs) procedures.
Terminated leads are terminals that are crimped onto wires. The terminated lead can be used
throughout the vehicle since it is designed for temperatures up to 150°C. The length of the wire is
450 mm.
The DuraSeal splice sleeve has the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink tubing that environmentally seals the splice. The shrink tubing contains a
sealing adhesive inside the shrink tubing.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp that provides the necessary contact integrity for sensitive
low energy circuits.
1. Use the connector end view to identify the correct terminated lead. 2. The terminated lead
package should include a DuraSeal splice sleeve. If not, use the chart to identify the correct part. 3.
Open the harness by removing any tape:
Use a sewing seam ripper, or a comparable tool, to cut open the harness, to avoid wire insulation
damage.
4. Depending on how many terminals need repairs, cut the terminal and wire back at least 40 mm.
Try to keep the harness wire length the same.
If more than one terminated lead is required, stagger the lengths by 40 mm. This helps reduce the
bundle size of the wire harness.
5. Use the EL-38125-10 - tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp tool
has four nests, one for each color.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.

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

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.

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

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-64-022 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
- The door ajar message stays on or comes on intermittently.
- The interior lights stay on or turn on intermittently.
- The content theft deterrent alarm goes off intermittently.
- RAP does not cancel when the door is opened allowing the radio, power windows, sunroof and
the compass to remain powered up.
- The battery is discharged.
Cause
These conditions may be caused by water intrusion into the door ajar switch (part of the door lock
assembly) which causes an incorrect switch status input to the BCM. This condition can be
intermittent and wet weather may aggravate this condition.
Correction
Use the following steps to aid in diagnosis of the concern.
Important DO NOT replace the body control module (BCM) for this concern.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) and monitor the door ajar switch inputs to the BCM. The Tech 2(R) lists the
left front door separately, then all passenger doors
together.
2. Check if a door ajar message is active with the doors closed. If this condition is not present,
washing the vehicle may induce the concern. Note that
the vehicle may have to sit for up to two hours.
3. If the concern is the RAP does not cancel when the left front door is opened, suspect the left
door lock assembly. If the door ajar message is active
on the passenger door, it could be any of the other doors.
4. Try opening and closing each passenger door one at a time while monitoring the door ajar status
to see if one of the doors will cause the message
to change to door closed. If it does, suspect that door lock.
5. If the message does not change, you can isolate which door is indicating ajar by disconnecting
the individual door electrical connector at the
pass-through on the pillar side. Always start with the right front door first. If the message changes
to door closed when the door is disconnected, suspect that door lock.
Once you have identified the suspect door, refer to SI for complete circuit testing. Refer to
Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle Access in SI.

Bulletin No.: 10-00-89-010
Date: May 27, 2010
Subject: Key Code Security Rules and Information on GM KeyCode Look-Up Application (Canada
Only)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3 2009 and Prior
Saturn and Saab 2002 and Prior Isuzu
Attention:
This bulletin has been created to address potential issues and questions regarding KeyCode
security. This bulletin should be read by all parties involved in KeyCode activity, including dealer
operator, partner security coordinator, sales, service and parts departments. A copy of this bulletin
should be printed and maintained in the parts department for use as a reference.
Important U.S. dealers should refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 10-00-89-009.
Where Are Key Codes Located?
General Motors provides access to KeyCodes through three sources when a vehicle is delivered to
a dealer. Vehicle KeyCodes are located on the original vehicle invoice to the dealership. There is a
small white bar coded tag sent with most new vehicles that also has the key code printed on it.
Dealerships should make a practice of comparing the tag's keycode numbers to the keycode listed
on the invoice. Any discrepancy should be reported immediately to the GM of Canada Key Code
Inquiry Desk. Remember to remove the key tag prior to showing vehicles to potential customers.
The third source for Key codes is through the GM KeyCode Look-Up feature within the
OEConnection D2DLink application. KeyCode Look-Up currently goes back 17 previous model
years from the current model year.
When a vehicle is received by the dealership, care should be taken to safeguard the original
vehicle invoice and KeyCode tag provided with the vehicle. Potential customers should not have
access to the invoice or this KeyCode tag prior to the sale being completed. After a sale has been
completed, the KeyCode information belongs to the customer and General Motors.
Tip
Only the original invoice contains key code information, a re-printed invoice does not.
GM KeyCode Look-Up Application for GM of Canada Dealers
All dealers should review the General Motors of Canada KeyCode Look-Up Policies and
Procedures (Service Policy & Procedures Manual Section 3.1.6 "Replacement of VIN plates &
keys").
Please note that the KeyCode Access site is restricted. Only authorized users should be using this
application. Please see your Parts Manager for site authorized users. KeyCode Look-Up currently
goes back 17 years from current model year.
Important notes about security:
- Users may not access the system from multiple computers simultaneously.
- Users may only request one KeyCode at a time.
- KeyCode information will only be available on the screen for 2 minutes.
- Each user is personally responsible for maintaining and protecting their password.
- Never share your password with others.
- User Id's are suspended after 6 consecutive failed attempts.
- User Id's are disabled if not used for 90 days.
- Processes must be in place for regular dealership reviews.
- The Parts Manager (or assigned management) must have processes in place for employee
termination or life change events. Upon termination individuals access must be turned off
immediately and access should be re-evaluated upon any position changes within the dealership.

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection Drive Belt Rumbling and Vibration Diagnosis
Drive Belt Rumbling and Vibration Diagnosis
Diagnostic Aids
The accessory drive components can have an affect on engine vibration. Vibration from the engine
operating may cause a body component or another part of the vehicle to make rumbling noise.
Vibration can be caused by, but not limited to the A/C system over charged, the power steering
system restricted or the incorrect fluid, or an extra load on the generator. To help identify an
intermittent or an improper condition, vary the loads on the accessory drive components.
The drive belt may have a rumbling condition that can not be seen or felt. Sometimes replacing the
drive belt may be the only repair for the symptom.
If replacing the drive belt, completing the diagnostic table, and the noise is only heard when the
drive belts are installed, there might be an accessory drive component with a failure. Varying the
load on the different accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is
causing the rumbling noise.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. This test is to verify that
the symptom is present during diagnosing. Other vehicle components may cause a similar
symptom. 3. This test is to verify that one of the drive belts is causing the rumbling noise or
vibration. Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the similarity in the
description. Remove only one drive belt at a time if the vehicle has multiple drive belts. When
removing the drive belts the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also
DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belts removed. 4. Inspecting the drive
belts is to ensure that they are not causing the noise. Small cracks across the ribs of the drive belt
will not cause the noise. Belt separation 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. 9. Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that the wrong bolt,
nut, spacer, or washer was installed. 11. This step should only be performed if the water pump is
driven by the drive belt. Inspect the water pump shaft for being bent. Also inspect the water pump
bearings for smooth operation and excessive play. Compare the water pump with a known good
water pump. 12. Accessory drive component brackets that are bent, cracked, or loose may put
extra strain on that accessory component causing it to vibrate.

6. Remove the transmission mount upper nuts from the transmission mount bracket. 7. Use the
floor jack to raise the powertrain enough to remove the transmission mount. 8. Remove the
transaxle mount from the frame.
Installation Procedure
1. Install the transaxle mount to the frame.
2. Install the transmission mount to frame bolts. Hand tighten only. 3. Use the jackstand to lower
the transmission mount bracket on to the transmission mount studs.

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.

Diagnostic Instructions
* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection
and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic
procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned
ON. The ECM will disable the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds unless the ECM detects ignition
reference pulses. The ECM continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as ignition reference
pulses are detected. The ECM 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
pump module, eliminating the need for a return pipe from the engine. A returnless fuel system
reduces the internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the engine to the
fuel tank. Reducing the internal temperature of the fuel tank results in lower evaporative emissions.
The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel pump
module inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel feed pipe to
the fuel injection system. The fuel pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow than is needed by the
fuel injection system. The fuel pump also supplies fuel to a venturi pump located on the bottom of
the fuel pump module. The function of the venturi pump is to fill the fuel pump module reservoir.
The fuel pressure regulator, a part of the fuel pump module, maintains the correct fuel pressure to
the fuel injection system. The fuel pump module contains a reverse flow check valve. The check
valve and the fuel pressure regulator maintain fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail in
order to prevent long cranking times.

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.

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

^ When adding proper tire air pressure, it is important to remember fluctuations in outside air
temperatures and tire temperatures effect tire air pressures.
^ After you have added the proper tire pressure, if the vehicle has a DIC (after the system has
updated), check to see if DIC displays are the same
readings as the tire pressure gauge used (adjust as necessary).
^ Only perform a TPM sensor re-learn after a tire rotation or system part replacements and use the
Tech 2(R) to initiate the relearn whenever possible to
avoid invalid sensor I.D. learns.
Important:
Always take outside temperature and tire temperature into consideration to properly set tire
pressures. Foe example, on colder days (20°F/-7°C), if setting tire pressure when the vehicle has
been indoors (60°F/16°C) or the tires are warm from being driven, it will be necessary to
compensate for the low outside temperature by adding 21-27 kPa (3-4 psi) more then the
placecard pressure. At some later time, when the vehicle has been parked outside for a while, the
tires will cool off and the pressures will drop back into the placecard range.
Important:
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general customer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. Tires inflated with nitrogen gas may exhibit less of a pressure change in response to
outside temperature changes. Nitrogen gas inflation is compatible with GM TPM sensors. For
additional information, refer to Corporate Service Bulletin 05-03-10-020C.
Important:
All Models (Except the Pontiac Vibe): Do not perform a TPM relearn at PDI, the system has already
been set at the Assembly Plant. Do not perform a TPM relearn after adding air to the tires. The low
tire light is similar to the low fuel indicator and adding something (fuel, air) to the vehicle makes that
light turn back off again. Note that because of system behavior, some vehicles must be driven a
short distance before the sensors recognize the increase in pressure and turns the light off again.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Do not use the TPMS reset button to turn off the light. The system will update
and light will turn off when all tire pressures have been adjusted followed by short distance drive.
Important:
All models (except the Pontiac Vibe): Each tire monitor sensor is learned to a specific vehicle
corner. When performing a TPM relearn (only after a tire rotation or replacement of a TPM sensor
or Module), always use the Tech2(R) to initiate the J 46079 relearned process. Tech 2(R) - initiated
relearns lock out other vehicle TPM signals that may be broadcasting in the area. Only signals
initiated by the J 46079 tool will be accepted. This method avoids storing false TPM I.D.s and will
prevent customers from returning with dashes (--) displayed in tire pressure readouts and/or a
flashing tire pressure monitor (TPM) light. Checking the four TPM I.D.s with the Tech 2(R) prior to
and following relearn to verify they are the same can prevent invalid I.D. learns.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Tire Monitor Sensors are not learned to a specific vehicle corner. Do not
perform a TPM Reset after tire rotation. The TPMS Reset button must only be used during
pre-delivery inspection by the dealer to initialize the system (after all tire pressures have been
adjusted properly) or when a Tire Pressure Monitor System component is replaced. The J 46079
tool does not work on Vibe TPM sensors. A TPMS relearn on Vibe must be preformed with a Tech
2(R) to set the TPMS Module in learn mode. The TPMS sensor IDs are entered through the Tech
2(R). Refer to SI for further Vibe TPMS information.

The ONLY time labor operation E0726 or E0722 should be used is to diagnose for a system issue.
That should ONLY occur if, at key ON, without starting the engine, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
blinks for one minute and then stays on solid with a Service Tire Monitor System message (on
vehicles equipped with a DIC) If that occurs, a TPM system problem exists and the system will
have set a DTC. If one of these operastions is used, the following Repair Order and Warranty
System documentation are required:
^ Document the customer complaint on the Repair Order.
^ Document the TPMS DTC that has set on the Repair Order.
^ Enter the TPMS DTC in the Warranty System (WINS) in the Failure Code/DTC field on the claim
submission (refer to the Claims Processing Manual,
Section IV, Warranty claim Data, Page 6, Item G).
If the above information is not documented on the Repair Order and Warranty System, the claim
may be rejected. If the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) generates a request, this repair order
documentation must be sent back.

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

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

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

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.

Warning
To prevent personal injury, avoid breathing A/C Refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Work in a
well ventilated area. To remove refrigerant from the A/C System, use service equipment designed
for recovery that is certified to meet the requirements of the appropriate SAE Standards. If an
accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before continuing service. Additional
health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant, refrigerant recovery, and
lubricant manufacturers.
Warning
For personal protection, goggles and lint-free gloves should be worn and a clean cloth wrapped
around fittings, valves, and connections when doing work that includes opening the refrigerant
system. If refrigerant comes in contact with any part of the body severe frostbite and personal injury
can result. The exposed area should be flushed immediately with cold water and prompt medical
help should be obtained.
Caution: You must replace the desiccant if the A/C refrigerant system has been open to
atmosphere for more than four hours, or if the A/C refrigerant oil has been contaminated. Failure to
replace the desiccant will result in damage to the A/C refrigerant system.
Caution: R-134a is the only approved refrigerant for use in this vehicle. The use of any other
refrigerant may result in poor system performance or component failure.
Caution: To avoid system damage use only R-134a dedicated tools when servicing the A/C
system.
Caution: Use only 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.
Caution: R-12 refrigerant and R-134a refrigerant must never be mixed, even in the smallest of
amounts, as they are incompatible with each other. If the refrigerants are mixed, compressor failure
is likely to occur. Refer to the manufacturer instructions included with the service equipment before
servicing.
The J 43600 is a complete air conditioning service center for R-134a. The ACR 2000 recovers,
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 Specifications (See:
Specifications) for the correct amount.
A/C Refrigerant System Oil Charge Replenishing
If oil was removed from the A/C system during the recovery process or due to component
replacement, the oil must be replenished. Oil can be injected into a charged system using J 45037.
For the proper quantities of oil to add to the A/C refrigerant system, refer to Refrigerant System
Specifications ( See: Specifications).

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).

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

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

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 5184
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal
operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis.
This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle
is in the shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that
provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to
-18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized
cooling needs.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or
components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
* If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure
conditions.
* Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present
when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. 2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds. 4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that
were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must
also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the
DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling
conditions have been satisfied long enough
for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
* An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An
abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.

OUTLOOK
Supercede: The Service Procedure in this bulletin has been revised. All vehicles will not require the
replacement of the front seat-mounted side impact airbag connectors.Please discard all copies of
bulletin 10085C, issued November 2010.
Condition
Certain 2008 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK vehicles, and 2010
model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles may experience wear which could lead to
corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the body main wiring harness
and the front driver and passenger side impact air bag. Over time, the wear may result in a
resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG System warning message in the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully functional. Over time, and if
the SERVICE AIR BAG System DIC warning message is ignored, the resistance could increase to
a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when commanded in a side impact
crash.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the front seat-mounted side impact airbag connectors.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2008 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK
vehicles, and 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles built within these VIN
breakpoints:
Important Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Required
Field Actions section in the Global Warranty system. Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints
may be involved.
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle
identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be
provided to US and Canadian dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports, or sent
directly to export dealers. Dealers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles
currently assigned.
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.

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.

Cruise Control: Description and Operation
Cruise Control Description and Operation
Cruise control is a speed control system that maintains a desired vehicle speed under normal
driving conditions at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph). Steep grades may cause variations in the
selected vehicle speeds.
The following are the main components of the cruise control system:
* The accelerator pedal
* The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor
* The body control module (BCM)
* The cruise on/off switch
* The + RES switch (equivalent to resume/accel switch)
* The - SET switch (equivalent to set/coast switch)
* The engine control module (ECM)
* The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor
* The vehicle speed sensor
The body control module (BCM) monitors the signal circuit of the cruise control switches, which are
located on the steering wheel. The BCM relays the cruise control switch status to the engine
control module (ECM) via a serial data message. The ECM uses the status of the cruise control
switch to determine when to capture and maintain the vehicle speed. The ECM monitors the
vehicle speed signal circuit in order to determine the desired vehicle speed. The ECM uses the
TAC motor in order to maintain the vehicle speed.
Ignition voltage is supplied to the cruise control switch from the 2-ampere RUN/CRANK fuse
located in the integrated BCM fuse block. The cruise control function switches are arranged in a
resistive ladder design, with each cruise control function switch having a different resistance value.
The BCM detects a specific voltage value that is associated with the cruise control function switch
being activated. When the normally open cruise control on/off switch is turned ON, the switch
closes illuminating the cruise control switch ON indicator, and the BCM sends a serial data
message to the ECM indicating that the on/off switch is active. Similarly, when the normally open +
RES switch or the normally open - SET switch are pressed, the switch closes and the BCM detects
the predetermined voltage signal on the cruise control resume/accel and set/coast switch signal
circuit. The BCM sends a serial data message to the ECM indicating that the + RES switch or the SET switch is active. The + RES switch or the - SET switch will remain inactive when the BCM has
not received the predetermined voltage signal from the on/off switch.
Cruise Control Engaged
The cruise control system will engage and adjust vehicle speeds, based on the activation of the
following cruise control switches, which are located on the steering wheel:
* On/Off
* + RES
* - SET
To engage the cruise control system, ensure that the vehicle speed is above 40.2 km/h (25 mph),
turn the cruise On/Off switch ON and momentarily press the - SET switch. The ECM will engage
the cruise control system and record the vehicle speed. The ECM sends a serial data message to
the instrument panel cluster (IPC) in order to illuminate the Cruise Engaged indicator in the IPC.
Pressing the accelerator pedal while the cruise control system is engaged, allows the driver to
override the cruise control system in order to accelerate the vehicle beyond the current set vehicle
speed. When the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle will decelerate and resume the current
set vehicle speed. The driver can also override the current set vehicle speed via the - SET switch
and the + RES switch. When the cruise control system is engaged, pressing and holding the - SET
switch will allow the vehicle to decelerate from the current set vehicle speed without deactivating
the cruise control system. When the - SET switch is released, the ECM will record the vehicle
speed and maintain the vehicle speed as the new set vehicle speed. When the cruise control
system is engaged, momentarily pressing the - SET switch will allow the vehicle to decelerate at
1.6 km/h (1 mph) increments for each time that the - SET is momentarily pressed, with a minimum
vehicle speed of 37 km/h (23 mph).
Pressing and holding the + RES switch, when the cruise control system is engaged, will allow the
vehicle to accelerate to a greater vehicle speed than the current set vehicle speed. When the +
RES switch is released, the ECM will record the vehicle speed and maintain the vehicle speed as
the new set vehicle speed. When the cruise control system is engaged, momentarily pressing the +
RES switch will allow the vehicle to accelerate at 1.6 km/h (1 mph) increments for each time that
the + RES switch is momentarily pressed, with the maximum acceleration total of 16 km/h (10 mph)
over the current set vehicle speed. Momentarily activating the + RES switch will recall the previous
vehicle speed, after the cruise control system is disengaged by pressing the brake pedal.
Cruise Control Disengaged
The engine control module (ECM) disengages the cruise control operation based on the signals
from the following switches:

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

10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
The connector position assurance (CPA) is a small plastic insert that fits through the locking tabs of
a connector. CPAs are used in all SIR System connectors and also in some connectors of other
systems. The CPA ensures that the connector halves cannot vibrate apart. You must have the CPA
in place in order to ensure good contact between the mating terminals of a connection.
Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control
module connectors. The TPA keeps the terminal securely seated in the connector body. Do not
remove the TPA from the connector body unless you remove a terminal for replacement.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves
Special Tools
J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
Note: Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from
moisture or provide a good electrical connection.
Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and
coaxial. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there are special requirements such as moisture
sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
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 gauge.
- 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.
Adjustments
Front Door Striker: Adjustments
Door Lock Striker Adjustment
Note: To determine if the striker adjustment is required, proceed as follows.
1. Ensure that the door is properly aligned with the door opening before proceeding with the striker
adjustment. 2. Open and close the door on the striker (2). Note if the door drags on the striker
causing the door to move upward or downward upon contact with
the striker. Also note the closing effort to fully engage the latch.
Note: When the striker bolts have been removed, the striker anchor plate (1) will slip down in the
door pillar or quarter panel and the trim will need to be removed to gain access.
3. Using a soft marker, mark around the striker (2) for reference of the original position. Loosen the
striker screws just enough to allow the
movement of the door striker and shims if equipped.
4. Adjust the door striker up or down and inboard or outboard as required.

Oil Change Reminder Lamp: Service and Repair
ENGINE OIL LIFE SYSTEM
When to Change Engine Oil
This vehicle has a computer system that indicates when to change the engine oil and filter. This is
based on engine revolutions and engine temperature, and not on mileage. Based on driving
conditions, the mileage at which an oil change is indicated can vary considerably. For the oil life
system to work properly, the system must be reset every time the oil is changed.
When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it indicates that an oil change is
necessary. A CHANGE OIL SOON message comes on. Change the oil as soon as possible within
the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible that, if driving under the best conditions, the oil life
system might not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over a year. However, the engine oil
and filter must be changed at least once a year and at this time the system must be reset. It is also
important to check the oil regularly and keep it at the proper level.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, the oil must be changed at 3,000 miles (5 000 km) since the
last oil change. Remember to reset the oil life system whenever the oil is changed.
How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change the engine oil and filter based on vehicle
use. Whenever the oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate when the next oil change is
required. If a situation occurs where the oil is changed prior to a CHANGE OIL SOON message
being turned on, reset the system.
After changing the engine oil, reset the system:
1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN, with the engine off.
2. Press and hold the Driver Information Center INFO and reset buttons, on the left side of the
steering wheel, at the same time to enter the
personalization menu. The OIL LIFE RESET message displays.
3. Press and hold the reset button until the Driver Information Center display shows
ACKNOWLEDGED.
4. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF.
If the CHANGE OIL SOON message comes back on when the vehicle is started, the engine oil life
system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements that can be unhealthy for your skin and could even
cause cancer. Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with
soap and water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing or rags containing
used engine oil. See the manufacturer's warnings about the use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil
from the filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the
ground, into sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Recycle it by taking it to a place that
collects used oil.

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

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

A 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. Lifting Points

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

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

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

5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.

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

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Engine Compression Test
1. Charge the battery if the battery is not fully charged. 2. Disable the ignition system. 3. Disable
the fuel injection system. 4. Remove all spark plugs. 5. Turn the ignition to the ON position. 6.
Depress the accelerator pedal to position the throttle plate wide open. 7. Start with the compression
gauge at zero and crank the engine through 4 compression strokes, 4 puffs. 8. Measure the
compression for each cylinder. Record the readings. 9. If a cylinder has low compression, inject
approximately 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of engine oil into the combustion chamber through the spark
plug
hole. Measure the compression again and record the reading.
10. The minimum compression in any 1 cylinder should not be less than 70 percent of the highest
cylinder. No cylinder should read less than 690 kPa
(100 psi). For example, if the highest pressure in any 1 cylinder is 1 035 kPa (150 psi), the lowest
allowable pressure for any other cylinder would be 725 kPa (105 psi). (1 035 x 70% = 725) (150 x
70% = 105).
* Normal - Compression builds up quickly and evenly to the specified compression for each
cylinder.
* Piston Rings Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression builds up with the
following strokes, but does not reach normal. Compression improves considerably when you add
oil.
* Valves Leaking - Compression is low on the first stroke. Compression usually does not build up
on the following strokes. Compression does not improve much when you add oil.
* If 2 adjacent cylinders have lower than normal compression, and injecting oil into the cylinders
does not increase the compression, the cause may be a head gasket leaking between the
cylinders.

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

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

Alignment: Description and Operation Camber Description
Camber Description
Camber is the tilting of the wheels from the vertical when viewed from the front of the vehicle.
When the wheels tilt outward at the top, the camber is positive (+). When the wheel tilts inward at
the top, the camber is negative (-). The amount of tilt is measured in degrees from the vertical.
Camber settings influence the directional control and the tire wear.
Too much positive camber will result in premature wear on the outside of the tire and cause
excessive wear on the suspension parts.
Too much negative camber will result in premature wear on the inside of the tire and cause
excessive wear on the suspension parts.
Unequal side-to-side camber of 1 degree or more will cause the vehicle to pull or lead to the side
with the most positive camber.
Page 6049
Note: The TPA cannot be removed from the connector while there are terminals present in the
connector body.
3. Use a small flat-blade tool to push the TPA until it bottoms out.
4. Use the J 38125-28 tool to release the terminals by inserting the tool into the terminal cavity as
shown in the graphic. See the release tool cross
reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
5. While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector.
Always remember never use force when pulling a
terminal out of a connector.
Repair Procedure
Use the appropriate terminal and follow the instructions in the J-38125.
Location of the terminal in the repair tray and the proper crimp tool can be found in the appropriate
connector end view.

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

Information Bus: Description and Operation
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 (See: Body and Frame/Body Control
Systems/Description and Operation) for more information about the gateway.
GMLAN High Speed Circuit Description
Important: A loss of serial data DTC does not represent a failure of the module that the code is set
in.
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.
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
pulse 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.
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 4 Scan tool power ground terminal
* Pin 5 Common signal ground terminal
* Pin 6 High speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) terminal
* Pin 14 High speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) terminal
* Pin 16 Scan tool power, battery positive voltage terminal
Serial Data Reference
The scan tool communicates over the various busses on the vehicle. When a scan tool is installed
on a vehicle, the scan tool will try to communicate with every module that could be optioned into
the vehicle. If an option is not installed on the vehicle, the scan tool will display No Comm for that
options control module. In order to avert misdiagnoses of No Communication with a specific
module, refer to Data Link References (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and
Diagnostic Overview) for a list of modules, the busses they communicate with, and the RPO codes
for a specific module.

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.

Note: DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are
already present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
* Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming
is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for replacement,
setup, and programming.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Short to Ground
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (DMM)
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohms position. 4. Connect one lead of the DMM to
one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the
DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter
Danger: High voltage circuits should only be tested using a digital multimeter (DMM) and test leads
with at least a CAT III rating, such as the J 39200-A Digital Multimeter. Failure to follow the
procedures exactly as written may result in serious injury or death.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
Digital Multimeter (DMM) Basic Requirements
Service information is validated using digital multimeters that meet or exceed the following
requirements. Using a multimeter that does not meet these basic requirements may give inaccurate
readings which could lead to an incorrect diagnosis.
Display and Settings
1. Four digits displayed 2. Voltage, amperage, resistance, frequency, diode test settings, and
min-max function 3. Display positive and negative values
Voltage
1. Have at least 10 M ohm input impedance

Subject: Clear Stain or Film on Inside Perimeter of Windshield Glass (Clean/Polish Glass)
Models:
2010 and Prior Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn and Saab) 2010 and Prior HUMMER
H2, H3
Condition
Some customers may comment on a clear stain or film on the inside of the windshield glass. This
condition appears along the outer edges of the glass along the top, bottom or A-pillar areas.
Normal glass cleaning procedures will not remove the stain.
Cause
The assembly plant uses a clear sealer/primer on the outer edge of the windshield glass to improve
adhesion to the urethane adhesive that bonds the windshield glass to the vehicle body. Excess
sealer/primer may drip or flow onto the windshield and cause a stain. Once the sealer/primer dries,
it may appear to have etched the glass.
Correction
Note
A "white" type of toothpaste is recommended for this repair. Gel-type toothpaste may provide less
satisfactory results.
Use a small amount of toothpaste on a soft, cotton cloth to polish the stained area. It may be
necessary to wrap the cloth around a paint stir stick or a similar tool to reach the lower corners of
the windshield glass.
After polishing the glass, clean the inside of the windshield glass with a clean, damp, cotton cloth
and verify all of the stain is removed. Do not use any cleaners or solvents - use only clean warm
water.

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.

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.

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 (See: Specifications) for the correct spark plug.
* Ensure that the spark plug has the correct heat range. An incorrect heat range causes the
following conditions:
- Spark plug fouling - 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.

9. Install the new dust boot seal onto the caliper piston (2).
10. Insert the caliper piston into the caliper bore; using a spanner type wrench, rotate the piston (2)
clockwise to fully seat the piston into the caliper
body (1).
11. Fully seat the piston dust boot seal in the seal counterbore. 12. Install the piston dust boot seal
retaining ring to the groove in the caliper seal counterbore. 13. Install the brake caliper to the
vehicle. Refer to Rear Brake Caliper Replacement (See: Removal and Replacement/Rear Brake
Caliper
Replacement). 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.

Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
If the wire insulation has been chafed, or broken, enough to show the conductive portion of the
wire, and the wire is not damaged, determine the length of insulation that needs to be repaired. If
the repair is less than 280 mm (11 in), cut the wire within the damaged area. Then slide the
appropriate heat shrink tubing (listed below) over the wire, and repair the wire by splicing the wires
together. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Once the wire is spliced
together slide heat shrink tubing over the damaged area and apply heat to seal the repaired wire.
If the wire is damaged, or the damaged area is larger than 280 mm (11 in), then replace the
damaged wire by splicing in a new section of wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice
Sleeves (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General
Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).

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

Auxiliary Power Outlet: Description and Operation
Power Outlets Description and Operation
12 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Description and Operation
The 12 V accessory power receptacles are supplied B+ all the time.
110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle System Description
The alternating current (AC) accessory power outlet system consists of the accessory DC/AC
power inverter module and the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC. The accessory DC/AC
power inverter module converts 12 V direct current (DC) battery power to 110 V at 60 Hertz (Hz)
AC power to operate AC powered devices. The accessory DC/AC power inverter module provides
up to 150 watts of power. The accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC provides the usual
connection for AC powered devices.
110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle System Operation
The accessory DC/AC power inverter module receives fuse protected battery voltage and is
connected to the 12 V electrical system ground. The accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC has
an internal switch, that detects when an AC powered device is plugged into the outlet. When the
ignition is ON, and an AC powered device is plugged into the accessory power receptacle - 110 V
AC, the normally open switch in the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC, closes. When the
accessory DC/AC power inverter module detects the voltage from the accessory power receptacle
- 110 V AC switch, the inverter module begins to supply 110 V AC to the accessory power
receptacle - 110 V AC after a 1.5 second delay. The accessory AC power system is protected
against circuit overload and circuit shorts to ground.
110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Isolation Fault Protection
The accessory DC/AC power inverter module contains a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
GFCI monitors the 110 V circuit for a short to vehicle chassis ground. If a 110 V AC short to ground
is detected, the accessory DC/AC power inverter module will turn OFF. The module remains OFF,
until the AC powered device is unplugged from the outlet, and then plugged into the outlet after a 3
second delay.
110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Overload Shutdown
The accessory DC/AC power inverter module will turn OFF if the current in the 110 V circuit is
greater than 3.8 A for 1 second, or 2.5 A for 10 seconds. The module will turn ON again, when the
AC powered device is unplugged from the outlet, and then plugged into the outlet after a 3 second
delay.
110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Internal Shutdown
The accessory DC/AC power inverter module will turn OFF if the B+ supply voltage is greater than
16.5 V or less than 11 V. The module will also turn OFF if the device temperature is greater than
85°C (185°F). The module will turn ON again, after the shutdown condition is corrected, and the
AC powered device is unplugged from the outlet, and then plugged into the outlet.

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

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.)

Fuel Pressure: Testing and Inspection Fuel System Diagnosis
Fuel System Diagnosis
Diagnostic Instructions
* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection
and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic
procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned
ON. The ECM will disable the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds unless the ECM detects ignition
reference pulses. The ECM continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as ignition reference
pulses are detected. The ECM 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
pump module, eliminating the need for a return pipe from the engine. A returnless fuel system
reduces the internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the engine to the
fuel tank. Reducing the internal temperature of the fuel tank results in lower evaporative emissions.
The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel pump
module inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel feed pipe to
the fuel injection system. The fuel pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow than is needed by the
fuel injection system. The fuel pump also supplies fuel to a venturi pump located on the bottom of
the fuel pump module. The function of the venturi pump is to fill the fuel pump module reservoir.
The fuel pressure regulator, a part of the fuel pump module, maintains the correct fuel pressure to
the fuel injection system. The fuel pump module contains a reverse flow check valve. The check
valve and the fuel pressure regulator maintain fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail in
order to prevent long cranking times.

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 (See: Powertrain Management/Ignition
System/Specifications) for the correct spark plug.
* Ensure that the spark plug has the correct heat range. An incorrect heat range causes the
following conditions:
- Spark plug fouling - 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.

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

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.

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

High cooling fan start up loads may cause the 30-amp cooling fan fuse, located in the underhood
fuse block, to blow. The lack of air flow through the A/C condenser, caused by the inoperative
high-speed cooling fan, may affect the condenser's ability to dissipate heat.
Correction
Use the following procedure to install a heavier gauge power feed wire from the underhood fuse
block to the cooling fan. After the wiring update is completed, replace the 30-amp cooling fan fuse
in the underhood fuse block with a 40-amp fuse.
1. Disconnect and remove the battery. Refer to Battery Replacement in SI. 2. Remove the
windshield washer fill tube. Refer to Windshield Washer Solvent Container Filler Tube
Replacement in SI. 3. Disconnect the underhood fuse block from it's mounting base. Refer to
Underhood Electrical Center or Junction Block Replacement in SI. It is
only necessary to raise the fuse block enough to access the harness connectors. Do not remove
the complete assembly from the vehicle.
4. Locate the engine wiring harness junction block assembly (X1) on the back (underside) of the
underhood fuse block and disconnect it from the
underhood fuse block. Refer to Electrical Center Identification Views, Fuse Block Underhood
Bottom View in SI.
5. Find pin A2, Circuit 532, cooling fan motor supply voltage. Refer to Electrical Center
Identification Views, Fuse Block-Underhood X1 in SI. 6. Remove the harness back cover. Remove
the TPA (terminal position assurance) clip and remove connector A2 from the junction block. Cut
the
terminal off and tape the wire end with electrical tape.
7. Remove the air cleaner outlet duct. Refer to Air Cleaner Outlet Duct Replacement in SI. 8.
Locate the electrical connector to the right cooling fan and disconnect the wiring connector from the
fan. 9. Disengage pin B, wire 3 GY, circuit 532, cooling fan motor supply voltage, from the
connector housing (pull to seat terminal). Cut the terminal off
of the wire and remove the wire from the connector housing.
10. Tape the end of the wire with electrical tape. 11. Prepare a 1.82 m (6 ft) section of automotive
grade 5.0 mm (10 GA) wire and an equal length of 6 mm (1/4 in) flexible plastic conduit, GM P/N
12051375.
12. Run the new wire through the fan wire connector housing as shown. 13. Obtain the terminals
listed below from the J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit. 14. Strip the wire insulation as required and
install the terminal, GM P/N 12033997, on the wire. Secure the wire and terminal into the fan wire

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

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.

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.

* Evaporative emission (EVAP) system losses
Should this vehicles on-board diagnostic system (ECM) detect a condition that could result in
excessive emissions, the ECM turns ON the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and stores a DTC
that is associated with the condition.
Aftermarket (Add-On) Electrical And Vacuum Equipment
Caution: Do not attach add-on vacuum operated equipment to this vehicle. The use of add-on
vacuum equipment may result in damage to vehicle components or systems.
Caution: Connect any add-on electrically operated equipment to the vehicle's electrical system at
the battery (power and ground) in order to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Aftermarket, add-on, electrical and vacuum equipment is defined as any equipment installed on a
vehicle after leaving the factory that connects to the vehicles electrical or vacuum systems. No
allowances have been made in the vehicle design for this type of equipment.
Add-on electrical equipment, even when installed to these strict guidelines, may still cause the
powertrain system to malfunction. This may also include equipment not connected to the vehicle
electrical system, such as portable telephones and radios. Therefore, the first step in diagnosing
any powertrain condition is to eliminate all of the aftermarket electrical equipment from the vehicle.
After this is done, if the problem still exists, the problem may be diagnosed in the normal manner.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Damage
Note: In order to prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage to the engine control module
(ECM), DO NOT touch the connector pins on the ECM.
The electronic components that are used in the control systems are often designed to carry very
low voltage. The electronic components are susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic
discharge. Less than 100 V of static electricity can cause damage to some electronic components.
There are several ways for a person to become statically charged. The most common methods of
charging are by friction and by induction. An example of charging by friction is a person sliding
across a car seat.
Charging by induction occurs when a person with well insulated shoes stands near a highly
charged object and momentarily touches ground. Charges of the same polarity are drained off
leaving the person highly charged with the opposite polarity. Static charges can cause damage,
therefore, it is important to use care when handling and testing electronic components.
Emissions Control Information Label
The underhood Vehicle Emissions Control Information Label contains important emission
specifications and setting procedures. In the upper right corner is the exhaust emission information.
This identifies the year, the manufacturing division of the engine, the displacement of the engine in
liters, the class of the vehicle, and type of fuel metering system. There is also an illustrated
emission components and vacuum hose schematic.
This label is located in the engine compartment of every General Motors vehicle. If the label has
been removed, it can be ordered from GM service parts operations (GMSPO).
Underhood Inspection
Note: This inspection is very important and must be done carefully and thoroughly.
Perform a careful underhood inspection when performing any diagnostic procedure or diagnosing
the cause of an emission test failure. This can often lead to repairing a condition without further
steps. Use the following guidelines when performing an inspection:
* Inspect all of the vacuum hoses for correct routing, pinches, cuts, or disconnects.
* Inspect any hoses that are difficult to see.
* Inspect all of the wires in the engine compartment for the following conditions:
- Burned or chafed spots
- Pinched wires
- Contact with sharp edges
- Contact with hot exhaust manifolds

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Refer to the terminal crimping procedure in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 Terminal Repair
Kit.
Terminal Replacement Procedure
After the terminal is crimped to the wire, perform the following procedure in order to replace the
terminal.
1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal
into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other
terminals. Ensure that the terminal is
locked in place by gently pulling on the wire.
3. To assemble the connector, reverse the connector disassembly procedure.
Terminal Position Assurance Locks
Terminal Position Assurance Locks
The terminal position assurance (TPA) insert resembles the plastic combs used in the control

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

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

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

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.

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are a one time protection device and must be replaced each time
the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine if
the element in the fuse is broken (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a Digital
Multimeter (DMM) or a continuity tester. If the element is broken or continuity is suspect, replace
the fuse with one of equal current rating.

System Diagnosis
Idle Speed: Testing and Inspection
Throttle/Idle Learn
Description
The engine control module (ECM) learns the idle position of the throttle plate to ensure the correct
idle. The learned airflow values are stored within the ECM. These values are learned to adjust for
production variation and will continuously learn during the life of the vehicle to compensate for
reduced airflow due to coking. Anytime the throttle body airflow rate changes, for example due to
cleaning or replacing, the values must be relearned.
A vehicle that had a heavily coked throttle body that has been cleaned or replaced may take
several drive cycles to learn out the coking. To accelerate the process, the scan tool has the ability
to reset all learned values back to zero. A new ECM will also have values set to zero.
The idle may be unstable or a DTC may set if the learned values do not match the actual airflow.
Conditions for Running the Throttle Learn Procedure
* DTCs P0101, P0102, P0103, P0107, P0108, P0111, P0112, P0113, P0506, and P0507 are not
set.
* The engine speed is between 450-4,000 RPM.
* The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) is greater than 5 kPa.
* The mass air flow (MAF) is greater than 2 g/s.
* The ignition 1 voltage is greater than 10 volts.
Throttle Learn
With Scan Tool-Reset
1. Ignition ON, engine OFF. With a scan tool, perform the Idle Learn Reset in Module Setup. 2.
Start the engine, monitor the TB Idle Airflow Compensation parameter. The TB Idle Airflow
Compensation parameter value should equal 0
percent and the engine should be idling at a normal idle speed.
‹› If the engine is not idling normally, proceed with the Learn portion of the diagnostic.
3. Clear the DTCs and return to the diagnostic that referred you here.
Without Scan Tool-Learn
Important: Do NOT perform the Without Scan Tool-Learn procedure if DTCs are set. Refer to
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle).
1. The engine speed is between 450-4,000 RPM. 2. The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) is
greater than 5 kPa. 3. The mass air flow (MAF) is greater than 2 g/s. 4. The ignition 1 voltage is
greater than 10 volts. 5. Start and idle the engine in Park for 3 minutes. 6. With a scan tool, monitor
desired and actual RPM. 7. The ECM will start to learn the new idle cells and Desired RPM should
start to decrease. 8. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds. 9. Start and idle the engine in Park for 3 minutes.
Important: During the drive cycle the check engine light may come on with idle speed DTCs. If idle
speed codes are set, clear codes so the ECM can continue to learn.
10. After the 3 minute run time the engine should be idling normal.
‹› If the engine idle speed has not been learned the vehicle will need to be driven at speeds above
70 km/h (44 mph) with several decelerations
and extended idles.
11. After the drive cycle, the engine should be idling normally.
‹› If the engine idle speed has not been learned, turn OFF the ignition for 60 seconds and repeat
step 6.
12. Once the engine speed has returned to normal, clear DTCs.

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

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.

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.

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

Condition
Some owners may comment that marks/stains appear on the windshield when the windshield is
wet.
Cause
This condition may be caused by contact between the windshield and the vacuum hoses or other
tools used in the assembly process. This contact may leave a residue that creates a water repellent
surface on the glass which, in wet conditions, appear as marks/stains on the surface.
Correction
Important
DO NOT REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD FOR THIS CONDITION.
To clean the windshield, use Eastwood Glass Polishing Compound*. Follow the manufacturer's
directions for product use. Use only hand tools. DO NOT USE POWER TOOLS.

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.

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

GMLAN Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/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 gauge size
(0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice crimping tool from the
J-38125. Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed
splice.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent American wire gauge
(AWG) size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- 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 in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the
proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Warning
With a pressurized cooling system, the coolant temperature in the radiator can be considerably
higher than the boiling point of the solution at atmospheric pressure. Removal of the surge tank
cap, while the cooling system is hot and under high pressure, causes the solution to boil
instantaneously with explosive force. This will cause the solution to spew out over the engine, the
fenders, and the person removing the cap. Serious bodily injury may result.
Removal Procedure
1. Partially drain the coolant. Refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling (See: Engine, Cooling
and Exhaust/Cooling System/Service and

ENGINE OIL LIFE SYSTEM
When to Change Engine Oil
This vehicle has a computer system that indicates when to change the engine oil and filter. This is
based on engine revolutions and engine temperature, and not on mileage. Based on driving
conditions, the mileage at which an oil change is indicated can vary considerably. For the oil life
system to work properly, the system must be reset every time the oil is changed.
When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it indicates that an oil change is
necessary. A CHANGE OIL SOON message comes on. Change the oil as soon as possible within
the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible that, if driving under the best conditions, the oil life
system might not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over a year. However, the engine oil
and filter must be changed at least once a year and at this time the system must be reset. It is also
important to check the oil regularly and keep it at the proper level.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, the oil must be changed at 3,000 miles (5 000 km) since the
last oil change. Remember to reset the oil life system whenever the oil is changed.
How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change the engine oil and filter based on vehicle
use. Whenever the oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate when the next oil change is
required. If a situation occurs where the oil is changed prior to a CHANGE OIL SOON message
being turned on, reset the system.
After changing the engine oil, reset the system:
1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN, with the engine off.
2. Press and hold the Driver Information Center INFO and reset buttons, on the left side of the
steering wheel, at the same time to enter the
personalization menu. The OIL LIFE RESET message displays.
3. Press and hold the reset button until the Driver Information Center display shows
ACKNOWLEDGED.
4. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF.
If the CHANGE OIL SOON message comes back on when the vehicle is started, the engine oil life
system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements that can be unhealthy for your skin and could even
cause cancer. Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with
soap and water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing or rags containing
used engine oil. See the manufacturer's warnings about the use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil
from the filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the
ground, into sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Recycle it by taking it to a place that
collects used oil.
Page 1553
2. Fill the injury (puncture) to keep moisture out. 3. Seal the inner liner with a repair unit to prevent
air loss.
External Inspection
1. Prior to demounting, inspect the tire surface, the valve and the wheel for the source of the leak
by using a water and soap solution. Mark the
injured area and totally deflate the tire by removing the valve core.
2. Demount the tire from the wheel and place the tire on a well-lighted spreader.
Internal Inspection
1. Spread the beads and mark the puncture with a tire crayon. 2. Inspect the inner tire for any signs
of internal damage. 3. Remove the puncturing object, noting the direction of the penetration. 4.
Probe the injury with a blunt awl in order to determine the extent and direction of the injury. 5.
Remove any loose foreign material from the injury. 6. Punctures exceeding 6.35 mm (1/4") should
not be repaired.
Cleaning
1. Clean the area around the puncture thoroughly with a proper liner cleaner, clean cloth and a
scraper. This step serves to remove dirt and mold
lubricants to insure proper adhesion and non-contamination of the buffing tool.
2. Refer to information on the product or manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheet and follow
guidelines for handling and disposal.

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

Special Tools
J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
Note: Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the splice from
moisture or provide a good electrical connection.
Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except tefzel and
coaxial. Use DuraSeal splice sleeves where there are special requirements such as moisture
sealing. Follow the instructions below in order to splice copper wire using DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
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 gauge.
- 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.

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.

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

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

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor Learn
Special Tools
J-46079 Tire Pressure Monitor Diagnostic Tool
Learn Mode Description
The tire pressure monitor (TPM) system uses the instrument panel cluster (IPC), body control
module (BCM), remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR), keyless entry transmitter, 4 radio
frequency transmitting pressure sensors, and the serial data circuit to perform the TPM learn mode
functions. The sensor learn procedure must be performed after every tire rotation, RCDLR
replacement, or sensor replacement. Once the learn mode has been enabled, each of the sensors
unique identification codes can be learned into the RCDLR memory. When a sensor ID has been
learned, the RCDLR sends a serial data message to the BCM to sound a horn chirp. This verifies
the sensor has transmitted its ID and the RCDLR has received and learned it. The RCDLR must
learn the sensor IDs in the proper sequence to determine correct sensor location. The first learned
ID is assigned to the left front location, the second to right front, the third to right rear and the fourth
to left rear. The turn signals will individually illuminate indicating which location is to be learned in
the proper sequence.
Sensor Functions Using J-46079
Each sensor has an internal low frequency coil. When the J-46079 is used in activate mode, it
produces a low frequency transmission that activates the sensor. The sensor responds to a low
frequency activation by transmitting in learn mode. When the RCDLR receives a learn mode
transmission while in TPM learn mode, it will assign that sensors ID to the location on the vehicle
relative to the order in which it was learned.
Sensor Functions Using Pressure Increase/Decrease Method
Each sensor takes a pressure measurement sample once every 30 seconds while in stationary
mode. If the tire pressure increases, or decreases by more than 8.3 kPa (1.2 psi) from the last
pressure measurement, another measurement will occur immediately to verify the change in
pressure. If a pressure change has indeed occurred, the sensor transmits in Learn mode. When
the RCDLR receives a Learn mode transmission while in TPM learn mode, it will assign that
sensor's ID to the location on the vehicle relative to the order in which it was learned.
Learn Mode Cancellation
The learn mode will cancel if the ignition is cycled to OFF or if more than 2 minutes has elapsed for
any sensor that has not been learned. If the learn mode is cancelled before the first sensor is
learned, the original sensor IDs will be maintained. If the learn mode is canceled after the first
sensor is learned, the following will occur:
* All stored sensor IDs will be invalidated in the RCDLR memory.
* If equipped, the DIC will display dashes instead of tire pressures.
* DTC C0775 will be set.
These conditions will now require the learn procedure to be repeated for the system to function
properly.
TPM Learn Procedure
Note: If using the scan tool to enable the learn mode, the J-46079 must be used to activate the
sensors. When this preferred method is used, any stray sensor signals will not affect the learn
procedure. In the event a particular sensor's information is displayed on the special tool upon
activation but the horn does not chirp, it may be necessary to rotate the wheel valve stem to a
different position due to the sensor signal is being blocked by another component.
If using the keyless entry transmitter or DIC buttons to enable the learn mode, the J-46079 or
Pressure Increase/Decrease Method may be used. Before proceeding with this method, ensure
that no other learn procedure is being performed simultaneously or that tire pressures are not being
adjusted on another TPM equipped vehicle within close proximity. Stray signals from other TPM
equipped vehicles just driving by can be inadvertently learned. If any random horn chirps are heard
from the vehicle while performing the learn procedure, most likely a stray sensor has been learned
and the procedure will need to be cancelled and repeated. Under these circumstances, performing
the TPM Learn Procedure away from other vehicles would be highly recommended. In the event a
particular sensor activation does not cause the horn to chirp, it may be necessary to rotate the
wheel valve stem to a different position due to the sensor signal is being blocked by another
component.
Preferred Scan Tool Learn Enable Method
1. Using a scan tool, initiate the TPM Learn Mode. A double horn chirp will sound indicating the
Learn Mode has been enabled. The left front turn
signal will also be illuminated.
2. Starting with the left front tire, active the sensor by holding the antenna of the J-46079 aimed
upward against the tire sidewall close to the wheel
rim at the valve stem location. Press and release the Activate button and wait for a horn chirp.
Once the horn chirp has sounded, the sensor information is learned and the turn signal in the next
location to be learned will illuminate.

Replacing Keys 10-Minute Vehicle Key Relearn
Important: This procedure will only relearn the vehicle keys. This procedure will not learn the start
enable password. Do not use this procedure as a substitute for a 10-minute relearn when replacing
or reprogramming a theft deterrent module (TDM) or engine control module (ECM). Doing so will
result in a failure to learn the required password.
This 10-minute learn procedure should be used when all vehicle keys are desired to be replaced or
reprogrammed. This procedure will erase all previously learned vehicle keys from the TDM. Once
the 10-minute learn procedure has been completed, any remaining vehicle keys may be
programmed using the Adding Keys procedure to ensure their continued functionality.
1. Connect a scan tool to the vehicle in the pass-thru arrangement. 2. Turn ON the ignition, with the
engine OFF. 3. Ensure that all power consuming devices are turned OFF on the vehicle. 4. On the
Techline Terminal, select Service Programming System and follow the Techline Terminal
on-screen instructions, using the Legacy
Pass-Thru method. Ensure the correct programming selection is chosen based on component
being replaced or programmed. For this procedure, go to the V.T.D. Vehicle Theft Deterrent Learn
menu and choose the Vehicle Theft Deterrent Learn for Learning Replacement Keys selection.
5. At this point the scan tool must remain connected for the duration of the 10-minute relearn
procedure.
Important:
^ The scan tool may initially display 12 Minutes. The first 2 minutes allow the scan tool to initialize
the appropriate control module. The remaining 10 minutes is the relearn timer.
^ On some vehicles the security indicator may be illuminated for the duration of the 10-minute
relearn procedure.
6. Observe the scan tool, after approximately 10 minutes the scan tool will display "Programming
Successful, Turn OFF Ignition". The vehicle is
now ready to relearn the key information and/or the passwords on the next ignition switch transition
from OFF to CRANK.
7. Turn OFF the ignition and wait 2 minutes. 8. With the first vehicle key, turn the ignition to the
RUN position for 15 seconds, then start the vehicle. 9. With the second vehicle key, turn the
ignition to the RUN position for 15 seconds, then start the vehicle. The TDM has now learned the
key
transponder information.
10. With a scan tool, clear any DTCs.

Warning: Refer to Brake Dust Warning (See: Service Precautions/Technician Safety
Information/Brake Dust Warning).
Note: *
Brake rotor thickness variation MUST be checked BEFORE checking for assembled lateral runout
(LRO). Thickness variation exceeding the maximum acceptable level can cause brake pulsation.
Refer to Brake Rotor Thickness Variation Measurement (See: Brake Rotor Thickness Variation
Measurement).
* Brake rotor assembled LRO exceeding the maximum allowable specification can cause thickness
variation to develop in the brake rotor over time, usually between 4,800-11,300 km (3,000-7,000
mi). Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement (See: Brake Rotor Assembled
Lateral Runout Measurement).
1. Rotate the brake rotor to position the high spot, identified and marked during the brake rotor
assembled LRO measurement procedure, to face
upward.
2. Remove the CH-45101-100 - Conical Brake Rotor Washers and the lug nuts that were installed
during the assembled LRO measurement procedure
and/or the indexing correction procedure.
3. Inspect the mounting surface of the hub/axle flange and the brake rotor to ensure that there are
no foreign particles or debris remaining. 4. Select the correction plate, following the manufacturer's
instructions, which has a specification closest to the assembled LRO measurement.
For example: If the assembled LRO measurement was 0.076 mm (0.003 in), the 0.076 mm (0.003
in) correction plate would be used. If the measurement was 0.127 mm (0.005 in), the 0.152 mm
(0.006 in) correction plate would be used.
5. Determine the positioning for the correction plate (1) using the high spot mark (3) made during
the brake rotor assembled LRO measurement
procedure.
Note: *
Do NOT install used correction plates in an attempt to correct brake rotor assembled LRO.
* Do NOT stack up, or install more than one correction plate onto one hub/axle flange location, in
an attempt to correct brake rotor assembled LRO.
6. Install the correction plate (1) onto the hub/axle flange, with the V-shaped notch (2) orientated to

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-64-022 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
- The door ajar message stays on or comes on intermittently.
- The interior lights stay on or turn on intermittently.
- The content theft deterrent alarm goes off intermittently.
- RAP does not cancel when the door is opened allowing the radio, power windows, sunroof and
the compass to remain powered up.
- The battery is discharged.
Cause
These conditions may be caused by water intrusion into the door ajar switch (part of the door lock
assembly) which causes an incorrect switch status input to the BCM. This condition can be
intermittent and wet weather may aggravate this condition.
Correction
Use the following steps to aid in diagnosis of the concern.
Important DO NOT replace the body control module (BCM) for this concern.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) and monitor the door ajar switch inputs to the BCM. The Tech 2(R) lists the
left front door separately, then all passenger doors
together.
2. Check if a door ajar message is active with the doors closed. If this condition is not present,
washing the vehicle may induce the concern. Note that
the vehicle may have to sit for up to two hours.
3. If the concern is the RAP does not cancel when the left front door is opened, suspect the left
door lock assembly. If the door ajar message is active
on the passenger door, it could be any of the other doors.
4. Try opening and closing each passenger door one at a time while monitoring the door ajar status
to see if one of the doors will cause the message
to change to door closed. If it does, suspect that door lock.
5. If the message does not change, you can isolate which door is indicating ajar by disconnecting
the individual door electrical connector at the
pass-through on the pillar side. Always start with the right front door first. If the message changes
to door closed when the door is disconnected, suspect that door lock.
Once you have identified the suspect door, refer to SI for complete circuit testing. Refer to
Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle Access in SI.
Warranty Information
Important Use the appropriate labor operation for the repair performed.

achieved.
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
* If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
* To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply
stores) in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector

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

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.

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.

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

Removal Procedure
1. Remove the auxiliary power outlet fuse from the fuse block. 2. Remove the receptacle:
1. Look into the receptacle. There are two 3 mm (0.11 in) tab windows 12 mm (0.47 in) from the
front of the receptacle. The J 42059 pushes the
plastic latches from these tab windows and the receptacle can be pulled straight out.
2. Place one side of the "T" portion of the J 42059 into the tab window. The J 42059 will not fit
straight into the receptacle. Angle the J 42059
slightly for insertion into the receptacle.
3. Insert the other side of the "T" into the opposite tab window.
You must move the J 42059 handle toward horizontal to engage the other tab window.
4. Use the J 42059 to pull the receptacle straight out.

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

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

INFORMATION
Bulletin No.: 00-06-01-026C
Date: February 03, 2010
Subject: Intake Manifold Inspection/Replacement After Severe Internal Engine Damage
Models:
2010 and Prior Passenger Cars and Trucks (Including Saturn) 2010 and Prior HUMMER H2, H3

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

Models:
2008 Buick Enclave 2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2008 GMC Acadia 2010 Pontiac G6 2008 Saturn
OUTLOOK
Supercede: The Service Procedure in this bulletin has been revised. All vehicles will not require the
replacement of the front seat-mounted side impact airbag connectors.Please discard all copies of
bulletin 10085C, issued November 2010.
Condition
Certain 2008 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK vehicles, and 2010
model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles may experience wear which could lead to
corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the body main wiring harness
and the front driver and passenger side impact air bag. Over time, the wear may result in a
resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG System warning message in the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully functional. Over time, and if
the SERVICE AIR BAG System DIC warning message is ignored, the resistance could increase to
a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when commanded in a side impact
crash.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the front seat-mounted side impact airbag connectors.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2008 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK
vehicles, and 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles built within these VIN
breakpoints:
Important Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Required
Field Actions section in the Global Warranty system. Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints
may be involved.
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle
identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be
provided to US and Canadian dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports, or sent
directly to export dealers. Dealers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles
currently assigned.
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.

Models:
2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2010 Pontiac G6
Some, but not all, of the vehicles involved in this Program were also involved in Customer
Satisfaction Program (CSP) 10085. These vehicles are to be inspected to determine if the repair for
CSP 10085 included the replacement of the two connectors. If the connectors were replaced, no
further action is required on these vehicles. If they were not replaced, dealers are to install the new
connectors.
Condition
Certain 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles may have a condition in which
wear could lead to corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the body
main wiring harness and the front driver and passenger side impact airbag. Over time, the wear
may result in a resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG system warning message in the
Driver Information Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully functional.
Over time, and if the SERVICE AIR BAG system DIC warning message is ignored, the resistance
could increase to a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when commanded in
a side impact crash.
Some of these vehicles were previously repaired under Customer Satisfaction Program 10085.
These vehicles had the wire harness secured, and in some cases, rerouted. They did not require
the installation of the two connectors. However, there have been reports of the SERVICE AIR BAG
message illuminating in the Driver Information Center after the repair, due to movement of the
connector between the body main wiring harness and the front driver and passenger side impact
air bag. With this Customer Satisfaction Program, dealers will install the two new connectors.
Correction
Dealers are to inspect and, if necessary, replace the front seat-mounted side impact air bag
connectors.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles.
Important Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Required

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

7. Inspect the fluid color. The fluid should be red or dark brown.
* If the fluid color is very dark or black and has a burnt odor, inspect the fluid for excessive metal
particles or other debris. A small amount of "friction" material is a "normal" condition. If large pieces
and/or metal particles are noted in the fluid, flush the oil cooler and cooler lines and overhaul the
transmission. If there are no signs of transmission internal damage noted, replace the fluid, repair
the oil cooler, and flush the cooler lines.
* Fluid that is cloudy or milky or appears to be contaminated with water indicates engine coolant or
water contamination. Refer to Engine Coolant/Water in Transmission (See: Transmission and
Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic
Procedures/6T30/6T40/6T45 - Automatic Transmission/Engine Coolant/Water in Transmission).
8. Inspect for external leaks. Refer to Fluid Leak Diagnosis (See: Transmission and
Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/6T30/6T40/6T45 - Automatic
Transmission/Fluid Leak Diagnosis).
9. If the fluid was changed, reset the transmission oil life monitor if applicable.
Dipstick Level Checking Procedure (If equipped)
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking brake and place the shift lever in PARK
(P). Start the engine. 2. Depress the brake pedal and move the shift lever through each gear range,
pausing for about 3 seconds in each range. Then move the shift lever
back to PARK (P).
3. Allow the engine to idle 500-800 rpm for at least 3 minutes to allow any fluid foaming to dissipate
and the fluid level to stabilize. Release the
brake pedal.
4. Keep the engine running and observe the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) using the Driver
Information Center or a scan tool.
Caution: The transmission fluid level must be checked when the transmission fluid temperature
(TFT) is at 85-95°C (185-203°F). If the TFT is not at this temperature, operate the vehicle or allow
the fluid to cool as required. Setting the fluid level with a TFT outside this temperature will result in
either an under or over-filled transmission. TFT 95°C under-filled, TFT 85°C over-filled. An
under-filled transmission will cause premature component wear or damage. An over-filled
transmission will cause fluid to discharge out the vent tube, fluid foaming, or pump cavitation.
Note: *
If the TFT reading is not at the required temperature, allow the vehicle to cool, or operate the
vehicle until the appropriate TFT is reached. If the fluid temperature is below the specified range,
perform the following procedure to raise the fluid temperature to the specification.
* Check the transmission fluid level when the TFT is at between 85-95°C (185-203°F). The fluid
level rises as fluid temperature increases, so it is important to ensure the transmission fluid
temperature is at the specified temperature.
Drive the vehicle in second gear until the fluid temperature is at the specified temperature.
5. The vehicle must be level, with the engine running and the shift lever in the PARK range. 6.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag or paper towel. 7. Inspect the fluid color. The fluid
should be red or dark brown.
* If the fluid color is very dark or black and has a burnt odor, inspect the fluid for excessive metal
particles or other debris. A small amount of "friction" material is a "normal" condition. If large pieces
and/or metal particles are noted in the fluid, flush the oil cooler and cooler lines and overhaul the
transmission. If there are no signs of transmission internal damage noted, replace the fluid, repair
the oil cooler, and flush the cooler lines.
* Fluid that is cloudy or milky or appears to be contaminated with water indicates engine coolant or
water contamination. Refer to Engine Coolant/Water in Transmission (See: Transmission and
Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic
Procedures/6T30/6T40/6T45 - Automatic Transmission/Engine Coolant/Water in Transmission).
8. Install the dipstick. Wait three seconds and then remove it again.
Note: Always check the fluid level at least twice. Consistent readings are important to maintaining
proper fluid level. If inconsistent readings are noted, inspect the transmission vent cap to ensure it
is clean and unclogged.
Note: It is not necessary to get the fluid level all the way up to the MAX mark. Anywhere within the
crosshatch band is acceptable.
9. Check both sides of the dipstick and read the lower level.
10. Install and remove the dipstick again to verify the reading.
Note: Do not add more than one half pint (0.25L) at a time without rechecking the level. Once the
oil is on the dipstick bullet, it will not take much more fluid to raise the fluid level into the crosshatch
band. Do not overfill. Also, if the fluid level is low, inspect the transmission for leaks. Refer to Fluid
Leak Diagnosis (See: Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/6T30/6T40/6T45 - Automatic
Transmission/Fluid Leak Diagnosis).
11. If the fluid level is not within the crosshatch band, and the transmission temperature is at 90°C
(194°F), add or drain fluid as necessary to bring the
level into the crosshatch band. If the fluid level is low, add only enough fluid to bring the level into
the crosshatch band.
12. If the fluid level is in the acceptable range, install the dipstick.

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.

* J-38125-8 - Splice Sleeve Crimp Tool
* J-38125-5 - Ultra Torch
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Note: All repairs near the engine manifold, turbo engine and all exhaust pipes should follow the
High Temperature Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/High Temperature Wiring
Repairs) procedures.
Terminated leads are terminals that are crimped onto wires. The terminated lead can be used
throughout the vehicle since it is designed for temperatures up to 150°C. The length of the wire is
450 mm.
The DuraSeal splice sleeve has the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink tubing that environmentally seals the splice. The shrink tubing contains a
sealing adhesive inside the shrink tubing.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp that provides the necessary contact integrity for sensitive
low energy circuits.
1. Use the connector end view to identify the correct terminated lead. 2. The terminated lead
package should include a DuraSeal splice sleeve. If not, use the chart to identify the correct part. 3.
Open the harness by removing any tape:
Use a sewing seam ripper, or a comparable tool, to cut open the harness, to avoid wire insulation
damage.
4. Depending on how many terminals need repairs, cut the terminal and wire back at least 40 mm.
Try to keep the harness wire length the same.
If more than one terminated lead is required, stagger the lengths by 40 mm. This helps reduce the
bundle size of the wire harness.
5. Use the EL-38125-10 - tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the splice sleeve crimp tool. The crimp tool
has four nests, one for each color.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.

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.

On any vehicle equipped with OnStar(R) (UE1) and Bluetooth(R) (UPF), an electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) buzz can be heard from the land-line side only of the phone during a
Bluetooth(R) phone call made with an older model global system for mobile communications
(GSM) phone. The buzz is only heard with older model GSM phones and is dependent on the
distance of the phone from the microphone. The newer 3G GSM phones or other cellular phones
(CDMA, TDMA, etc.) have not shown this concern.
Correction
Equipped with Headliner Microphone (Cobalt, HHR (non-sunroof) H2, H3)
A new microphone and bezel has been developed to address this concern. Replace the existing
microphone with GM P/N 20951265. Also replace the bezel. Refer to the parts information table

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

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

Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Special Tools
J 25070 Heat Gun
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure). Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Electrical Intermittents).
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.

Note: It is recommended that transmission adaptive pressure (TAP) information be reset.
Resetting the TAP values using a scan tool will erase all learned values in all cells. As a result, The
ECM, PCM or TCM will need to relearn TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as
new TAP values are learned.
6. Reset the TAP values. Refer to Transmission Adaptive Functions See: Description and
Operation.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

* 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 Continuity
Testing for Continuity
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (DMM)
1. Set the DMM to the Ohms position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from
the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Select the MIN MAX function on the DMM. 5.
Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance, the circuit has
good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
Note: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to
ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.

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

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

Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion is
a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is a small motion between
electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that
the electrical resistance across the connection increases. Movement between the contacting
surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of
paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and hard to see. Vibration and thermal
expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since vehicles vibrate and
can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin, copper,
nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult
to see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add Nyogel lubricant 760G
(dielectric grease) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe
away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the
terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.

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

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

- 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.

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

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 the jouncing operation a total of 3 times. 4. You will
need 2 measurements to compute the Z height. Measurement 1 should be taken from the bottom
edge of the support flange (X) to the
ground line. Measurement 2 should be taken from the bottom edge of the lowest point of the ball
stud (Y) to the ground line. Subtract measurement 2 (Y) from measurement 1 (X). 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 a total
of 3 times. 8. Measure the Z height dimension. 9. The true Z height dimension number is the
average of the high and the low measurements. Refer to Trim Height Specifications (See:

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.

13. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve. 14. Using the
heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing. 15. Gradually move the heat from
the center to the open end of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
16. Replace any reflective tape and clips that may have been remove during the repair.
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
If the wire insulation has been chafed, or broken, enough to show the conductive portion of the
wire, and the wire is not damaged, determine the length of insulation that needs to be repaired. If
the repair is less than 280 mm (11 in), cut the wire within the damaged area. Then slide the
appropriate heat shrink tubing (listed below) over the wire, and repair the wire by splicing the wires
together. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Once the wire is spliced
together slide heat shrink tubing over the damaged area and apply heat to seal the repaired wire.
If the wire is damaged, or the damaged area is larger than 280 mm (11 in), then replace the
damaged wire by splicing in a new section of wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice
Sleeves (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General
Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).

visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Electrical
Intermittents) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and
short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot
Procedure) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion is
a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is a small motion between
electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that
the electrical resistance across the connection increases. Movement between the contacting
surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of
paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and hard to see. Vibration and thermal
expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since vehicles vibrate and
can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin, copper,
nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult
to see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add Nyogel lubricant 760G
(dielectric grease) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe
away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the
terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.
Page 5968
Page 10116
2. Unwrap the tape. Do not remove the tape. Use the tape in order to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splice is made.
3. Prepare the splice. Untwist the conductors and follow the instructions for Splicing Copper Wire
Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Staggering the splices by
65 mm (2.5 in) is recommended.
Note: Apply the MYLAR tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact
with the drain wire.
4. Re-assemble the cable.
* Rewrap the conductors with the MYLAR tape. If the MYLAR tape is damaged, use 3M product
AL-36FR to replace the damaged MYLAR tape.
* Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
* Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
* Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with electrical tape to replace the outer
insulation.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.

and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Electrical
Intermittents) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and
short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot
Procedure) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion is
a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is a small motion between
electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that
the electrical resistance across the connection increases. Movement between the contacting
surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of
paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and hard to see. Vibration and thermal
expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since vehicles vibrate and
can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin, copper,
nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult
to see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add Nyogel lubricant 760G
(dielectric grease) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe
away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the
terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.

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

Subject: Identifying Non-GM (Aftermarket) Engine and Transmission Calibrations for V8 Gas
Engines Using Tech 2(R) or Global Diagnostic System (GDS)
Models:
2006-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Excluding Saab 9-7X) 2006-2009

Attention:
This bulletin applies to V8 gas powered engines ONLY. For Duramax(TM) diesel powered engines,
refer to the latest version of Corporate Bulletin Number 08-06-04-006G.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-06-04-026A (Section 06 - Engine/Propulsion System).
General Motors is identifying an increasing number of engine, transmission and catalytic converter
part failures that are the result of non-GM (aftermarket) engine and transmission control
calibrations being used.
When alteration to the GM-released engine or transmission control calibrations occurs, it subjects
powertrain and driveline components (engine , transmission, transfer case, driveshaft and rear
axle) to stresses that were not tested by General Motors. It is because of these unknown stresses,
and the potential to alter reliability, durability and emissions performance, that GM has adopted a
policy that prevents any UNAUTHORIZED dealer warranty claim submissions to any remaining
warranty coverage, to the powertrain and driveline components whenever the presence of a
non-GM (aftermarket) calibration is confirmed - even if the non-GM control module calibration is
subsequently removed.
Warranty coverage is based on the equipment and calibrations that were released on the vehicle at
time of sale, or subsequently updated by GM. That's because GM testing and validation matches
the calibration to a host of criteria that is essential to assure reliability, durability and emissions
performance over the life of the warranty coverage and beyond. Stresses resulting from
calibrations different from those tested and released by GM can damage or weaken components,
leading to poor performance and or shortened life.
Additionally, non-GM (aftermarket) issued engine control modifications often do not meet the same
emissions performance standards as GM issued calibrations. Depending on state statutes,
individuals who install engine control module calibrations that put the vehicle outside the
parameters of emissions certification standards may be subject to fines and/or penalties.
This bulletin outlines a procedure to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM
recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine or
transmission components, or before an engine assembly or transmission assembly is being
replaced under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure
be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that catalytic converter replacement is indicated.
The PQC has a process to confirm the ECM/PCM calibration is GM issued. The PQC will require a
picture of the engine calibration verification screen, as outlined in this bulletin, before authorizing
any V8 gas powered engine replacement.
If a non-GM calibration is found and verification has taken place through GM, the remaining
powertrain and driveline warranty will be blocked and notated in GMVIS and the dealership will be
notified. This block prevents any UNAUTHORIZED warranty claim submission.
1. Connect the Tech 2(R) to the vehicle. 2. Go to: Diagnostics and build the vehicle. 3. Select:
Powertrain. 4. Select: Engine. 5. *Select: Engine Control Module or PCM. 6. *Select: Module ID
Information or I/M Information System if the Module ID Information selection is not available. 7. *If

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

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

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

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

Auxiliary Power Outlet: Description and Operation
Power Outlets Description and Operation
12 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Description and Operation
The 12 V accessory power receptacles are supplied B+ all the time.
110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle System Description
The alternating current (AC) accessory power outlet system consists of the accessory DC/AC
power inverter module and the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC. The accessory DC/AC
power inverter module converts 12 V direct current (DC) battery power to 110 V at 60 Hertz (Hz)
AC power to operate AC powered devices. The accessory DC/AC power inverter module provides
up to 150 watts of power. The accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC provides the usual
connection for AC powered devices.
110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle System Operation
The accessory DC/AC power inverter module receives fuse protected battery voltage and is
connected to the 12 V electrical system ground. The accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC has
an internal switch, that detects when an AC powered device is plugged into the outlet. When the
ignition is ON, and an AC powered device is plugged into the accessory power receptacle - 110 V
AC, the normally open switch in the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC, closes. When the
accessory DC/AC power inverter module detects the voltage from the accessory power receptacle
- 110 V AC switch, the inverter module begins to supply 110 V AC to the accessory power
receptacle - 110 V AC after a 1.5 second delay. The accessory AC power system is protected
against circuit overload and circuit shorts to ground.
110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Isolation Fault Protection
The accessory DC/AC power inverter module contains a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
GFCI monitors the 110 V circuit for a short to vehicle chassis ground. If a 110 V AC short to ground
is detected, the accessory DC/AC power inverter module will turn OFF. The module remains OFF,
until the AC powered device is unplugged from the outlet, and then plugged into the outlet after a 3
second delay.
110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Overload Shutdown
The accessory DC/AC power inverter module will turn OFF if the current in the 110 V circuit is
greater than 3.8 A for 1 second, or 2.5 A for 10 seconds. The module will turn ON again, when the
AC powered device is unplugged from the outlet, and then plugged into the outlet after a 3 second
delay.
110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Internal Shutdown
The accessory DC/AC power inverter module will turn OFF if the B+ supply voltage is greater than
16.5 V or less than 11 V. The module will also turn OFF if the device temperature is greater than
85°C (185°F). The module will turn ON again, after the shutdown condition is corrected, and the
AC powered device is unplugged from the outlet, and then plugged into the outlet.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

Thermostat Diagnosis
In order to inspect if the thermostat valve is opening properly, perform the following test:
1. Completely submerge the thermostat in a glycol solution. The solution should be 11°C (22°F)
above the temperature indicated on the thermostat
valve.
2. Thoroughly agitate the solution. Under these conditions, the thermostat valve should open.
In order to inspect if the thermostat valve is closing properly, perform the following test:
1. Completely submerge the thermostat in a glycol solution. The solution should be 6°C (10°F)
below the temperature indicated on the thermostat
valve.
2. Thoroughly agitate the solution. Under these conditions, the thermostat valve should close
completely.

^ When adding proper tire air pressure, it is important to remember fluctuations in outside air
temperatures and tire temperatures effect tire air pressures.
^ After you have added the proper tire pressure, if the vehicle has a DIC (after the system has
updated), check to see if DIC displays are the same
readings as the tire pressure gauge used (adjust as necessary).
^ Only perform a TPM sensor re-learn after a tire rotation or system part replacements and use the
Tech 2(R) to initiate the relearn whenever possible to
avoid invalid sensor I.D. learns.
Important:
Always take outside temperature and tire temperature into consideration to properly set tire
pressures. Foe example, on colder days (20°F/-7°C), if setting tire pressure when the vehicle has
been indoors (60°F/16°C) or the tires are warm from being driven, it will be necessary to
compensate for the low outside temperature by adding 21-27 kPa (3-4 psi) more then the
placecard pressure. At some later time, when the vehicle has been parked outside for a while, the
tires will cool off and the pressures will drop back into the placecard range.
Important:
Recently, nitrogen gas (for use in inflating tires) has become available to the general customer
through some retailers. The use of nitrogen gas to inflate tires is a technology used in automobile
racing. Tires inflated with nitrogen gas may exhibit less of a pressure change in response to
outside temperature changes. Nitrogen gas inflation is compatible with GM TPM sensors. For
additional information, refer to Corporate Service Bulletin 05-03-10-020C.
Important:
All Models (Except the Pontiac Vibe): Do not perform a TPM relearn at PDI, the system has already
been set at the Assembly Plant. Do not perform a TPM relearn after adding air to the tires. The low
tire light is similar to the low fuel indicator and adding something (fuel, air) to the vehicle makes that
light turn back off again. Note that because of system behavior, some vehicles must be driven a
short distance before the sensors recognize the increase in pressure and turns the light off again.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Do not use the TPMS reset button to turn off the light. The system will update
and light will turn off when all tire pressures have been adjusted followed by short distance drive.
Important:
All models (except the Pontiac Vibe): Each tire monitor sensor is learned to a specific vehicle
corner. When performing a TPM relearn (only after a tire rotation or replacement of a TPM sensor
or Module), always use the Tech2(R) to initiate the J 46079 relearned process. Tech 2(R) - initiated
relearns lock out other vehicle TPM signals that may be broadcasting in the area. Only signals
initiated by the J 46079 tool will be accepted. This method avoids storing false TPM I.D.s and will
prevent customers from returning with dashes (--) displayed in tire pressure readouts and/or a
flashing tire pressure monitor (TPM) light. Checking the four TPM I.D.s with the Tech 2(R) prior to
and following relearn to verify they are the same can prevent invalid I.D. learns.
Pontiac Vibe Only: Tire Monitor Sensors are not learned to a specific vehicle corner. Do not
perform a TPM Reset after tire rotation. The TPMS Reset button must only be used during
pre-delivery inspection by the dealer to initialize the system (after all tire pressures have been
adjusted properly) or when a Tire Pressure Monitor System component is replaced. The J 46079
tool does not work on Vibe TPM sensors. A TPMS relearn on Vibe must be preformed with a Tech

Labor Operation and Repair Order/Warranty System Claim Required Documentation
Important:
The ONLY time labor operation E0726 or E0722 should be used is to diagnose for a system issue.
That should ONLY occur if, at key ON, without starting the engine, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
blinks for one minute and then stays on solid with a Service Tire Monitor System message (on
vehicles equipped with a DIC) If that occurs, a TPM system problem exists and the system will
have set a DTC. If one of these operastions is used, the following Repair Order and Warranty
System documentation are required:
^ Document the customer complaint on the Repair Order.
^ Document the TPMS DTC that has set on the Repair Order.
^ Enter the TPMS DTC in the Warranty System (WINS) in the Failure Code/DTC field on the claim
submission (refer to the Claims Processing Manual,
Section IV, Warranty claim Data, Page 6, Item G).
If the above information is not documented on the Repair Order and Warranty System, the claim
may be rejected. If the Warranty Parts Center (WPC) generates a request, this repair order
documentation must be sent back.

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

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

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.

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.

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

OUTLOOK
Supercede: The Service Procedure in this bulletin has been revised. All vehicles will not require the
replacement of the front seat-mounted side impact airbag connectors.Please discard all copies of
bulletin 10085C, issued November 2010.
Condition
Certain 2008 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK vehicles, and 2010
model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles may experience wear which could lead to
corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the body main wiring harness
and the front driver and passenger side impact air bag. Over time, the wear may result in a
resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG System warning message in the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully functional. Over time, and if
the SERVICE AIR BAG System DIC warning message is ignored, the resistance could increase to
a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when commanded in a side impact
crash.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the front seat-mounted side impact airbag connectors.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2008 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK
vehicles, and 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles built within these VIN
breakpoints:
Important Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Required
Field Actions section in the Global Warranty system. Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints
may be involved.
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle
identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be
provided to US and Canadian dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports, or sent
directly to export dealers. Dealers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles
currently assigned.
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.

Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
Repairing Damaged Wire Insulation
If the wire insulation has been chafed, or broken, enough to show the conductive portion of the
wire, and the wire is not damaged, determine the length of insulation that needs to be repaired. If
the repair is less than 280 mm (11 in), cut the wire within the damaged area. Then slide the
appropriate heat shrink tubing (listed below) over the wire, and repair the wire by splicing the wires
together. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves). Once the wire is spliced
together slide heat shrink tubing over the damaged area and apply heat to seal the repaired wire.
If the wire is damaged, or the damaged area is larger than 280 mm (11 in), then replace the
damaged wire by splicing in a new section of wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice
Sleeves (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General
Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).

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

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

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

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

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

Testing for a Short to Voltage
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Set the Digital Multimeter (DMM) to the V (DC) position. 4. Connect the positive lead of the
DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 7. If the voltage measured is greater
than 1 V, there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Special Tools
J 25070 Heat Gun
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure). Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Electrical Intermittents).
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.

tool are engaged.
11. Install the EN-48749 - retention tool (1) to the exhaust side of the timing chain.
12. Remove and discard the exhaust camshaft actuator bolt (2). 13. Remove the exhaust camshaft
actuator (3) from the camshaft while also removing the actuator from the timing chain.
Installation Procedure
Page 1986
7. Inspect to ensure all dirt and debris is removed from the timing chain tensioner threaded hole in
the cylinder head.
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Fastener
Caution).
Note: Ensure the timing chain tensioner seal is centered throughout the torque procedure to
eliminate the possibility of an oil leak.
8. Install the timing chain tensioner assembly. Tighten the timing chain tensioner to 75 Nm (55 lb
ft). 9. The timing chain tensioner is released by compressing the tensioner 2 mm (0.079 in) 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.
10. Install the camshaft cover. Refer to Camshaft Cover Replacement (See: Cylinder Head
Assembly/Valve Cover/Service and Repair). 11. Connect the negative battery cable. Refer to
Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection (See: Starting and Charging/Battery/Battery

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.

* 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.

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.

Dear General Motors Customer:
This notice is sent to inform you that General Motors is conducting a Customer Satisfaction
Program that affects your 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu or Pontiac G6.
We have learned that your 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu or Pontiac G6 may have a condition
in which wear could lead to corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the
body main wiring harness and the front driver and passenger side impact airbag. Over time, the
wear may result in a resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG system warning message in
the Driver Information Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully
functional. Over time, and if the SERVICE AIR BAG system DIC warning message is ignored, the
resistance could increase to a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when
commanded in a side impact crash.
Your Malibu or G6 may have been serviced previously to reroute and secure both front
seat-mounted side impact airbag wire harnesses. However, there have been reports of the
SERVICE AIR BAG message illuminating in the Driver Information Center (DIC) on vehicles that
had the wire harnesses rerouted and secured, but did not have new connectors installed. Our
records indicate that your vehicle may not have had the new connectors installed.
What We Will Do: Since your vehicle may not have had new connectors installed, your GM dealer
will inspect your vehicle to determine if new connectors have been installed, and will install two new
connectors, if required. This service will be performed for you at no charge.
What You Should Do: To limit any possible inconvenience, we recommend that you contact your
dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment for this repair.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, just contact your dealer or the appropriate
Customer Assistance Center at the number listed below.
Courtesy Transportation
If your vehicle is within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, your dealer may provide you with shuttle
service or some other form of courtesy transportation while your vehicle is at the dealership for this
repair. Please refer to your Owner Manual and your dealer for details on Courtesy Transportation.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience or concern that this situation may cause you. We want you
to know that we will do our best, throughout your ownership experience, to ensure that your GM
vehicle provides you many miles of enjoyable driving.

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

Condition 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.

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Tools and Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Set the Digital Multimeter (DMM) to the V (DC) position. 4. Connect the positive lead of the
DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 7. If the voltage measured is greater
than 1 V, there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Special Tools
J 25070 Heat Gun
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure). Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Electrical Intermittents).
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.

Caution: Replacement components must be the correct part number for the application.
Components requiring the use of the thread locking compound, lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, or
sealants are identified in the service procedure. Some replacement components may come with
these coatings already applied. Do not use these coatings on components unless specified. These
coatings can affect the final torque, which may affect the operation of the component. Use the
correct torque specification when installing components in order to avoid damage.
Caution: Use care when handling the coolant sensor. Damage to the coolant sensor will affect the
operation of the fuel control system.
1. If reinstalling the original sensor, or if installing a NEW sensor without a sealer, coat the threads
with sealant. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids,
Lubricants, and Sealers (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Specifications/Adhesives,
Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers).
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Fastener
Caution).
2. Install the ECT sensor (1) to the thermostat housing and tighten the sensor to 20 Nm (15 lb ft).
3. Connect the engine wiring harness electrical connector (1) to the ECT sensor (2). 4. Fill the

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

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

Dear General Motors Customer:
This notice is sent to inform you that General Motors is conducting a Customer Satisfaction
Program that affects your 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu or Pontiac G6.
We have learned that your 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu or Pontiac G6 may have a condition
in which wear could lead to corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the
body main wiring harness and the front driver and passenger side impact airbag. Over time, the
wear may result in a resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG system warning message in
the Driver Information Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully
functional. Over time, and if the SERVICE AIR BAG system DIC warning message is ignored, the
resistance could increase to a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when
commanded in a side impact crash.
Your Malibu or G6 may have been serviced previously to reroute and secure both front
seat-mounted side impact airbag wire harnesses. However, there have been reports of the
SERVICE AIR BAG message illuminating in the Driver Information Center (DIC) on vehicles that
had the wire harnesses rerouted and secured, but did not have new connectors installed. Our
records indicate that your vehicle may not have had the new connectors installed.
What We Will Do: Since your vehicle may not have had new connectors installed, your GM dealer
will inspect your vehicle to determine if new connectors have been installed, and will install two new
connectors, if required. This service will be performed for you at no charge.
What You Should Do: To limit any possible inconvenience, we recommend that you contact your
dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment for this repair.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, just contact your dealer or the appropriate
Customer Assistance Center at the number listed below.
Courtesy Transportation
If your vehicle is within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, your dealer may provide you with shuttle
service or some other form of courtesy transportation while your vehicle is at the dealership for this
repair. Please refer to your Owner Manual and your dealer for details on Courtesy Transportation.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience or concern that this situation may cause you. We want you
to know that we will do our best, throughout your ownership experience, to ensure that your GM
vehicle provides you many miles of enjoyable driving.

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

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to 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.

Antilock Brake System Automated Bleed
Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Antilock Brake System Automated Bleed
Antilock Brake System Automated Bleed Warning: Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant Warning (See:
Service Precautions/Technician Safety Information/Brake Fluid Irritant Warning).
Caution: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Caution (See: Service
Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components
Caution).
Note:
* Before performing the ABS Automated Bleed Procedure, first perform a manual or pressure bleed
of the base hydraulic brake system. Refer to Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (See: Hydraulic
Brake System Bleeding).
* The automated bleed procedure must be performed when a new brake pressure modulator valve
(BPMV) is installed, because the secondary circuits of the new BPMV are not prefilled with brake
fluid.
* The automated bleed procedure is recommended when one of the following conditions exist:
* Base brake system bleeding does not achieve the desired pedal height or feel
* Extreme loss of brake fluid has occurred
* Air ingestion is suspected in the secondary circuits of the brake modulator assembly
The ABS Automated Bleed Procedure uses a scan tool to cycle the system solenoid valves and run
the pump in order to purge any air from the secondary circuits. These circuits are normally closed
off, and are only opened during system initialization at vehicle start up and during ABS operation.
The automated bleed procedure opens these secondary circuits and allows any air trapped in
these circuits to flow out away from the brake modulator assembly, which is then forced out at the
brake corners by the pressure bleeder.
Automated Bleed Procedure
Caution: The Auto Bleed Procedure may be terminated at any time during the process by pressing
the EXIT button. No further Scan Tool prompts pertaining to the Auto Bleed procedure will be
given. After exiting the bleed procedure, relieve bleed pressure and disconnect bleed equipment
per manufacturers instructions. Failure to properly relieve pressure may result in spilled brake fluid
causing damage to components and painted surfaces.

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

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedure tests for a short to voltage in a circuit.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Set the Digital Multimeter (DMM) to the V (DC) position. 4. Connect the positive lead of the
DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good
ground. 6. Turn ON the ignition and operate all accessories. 7. If the voltage measured is greater
than 1 V, there is a short to voltage in the circuit.
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
Special Tools
J 25070 Heat Gun
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is
caused by vibration, engine torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the
customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction
appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions,
including:
* Wiggling the harness
* Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
* Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
* Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
* Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool
connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot
option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure). Another option is, with the component
commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, move related connectors and wiring and observe the
component operation. With the engine running, move related connectors and wiring while
monitoring engine operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed,
component/system operation, or engine operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as
necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of
weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to
duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding
harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A
DMM set to Peak Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield
desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Electrical Intermittents).
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide
good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the
fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other
conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions,
along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the
circuit to these kinds of conditions.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the J 25070.
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.

Tire Rotation
Tire Rotation
Rotate the tire and wheel assemblies at frequent intervals to equalize wear. Refer to Maintenance
Schedule (See: ). 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.

6T30/6T40/6T45 - Automatic Transmission
Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection 6T30/6T40/6T45 - Automatic Transmission
Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check
This procedure checks both the transmission fluid level, as well as the condition of the fluid itself.
Caution: Use Dexron VI transmission fluid only. Failure to use the proper fluid may result in
transmission internal damage.
Note: Ensure the transmission has enough fluid in it to safely start the vehicle without damaging the
transmission. With the vehicle off and the transmission fluid temperature at approximately 20-25°C
(68-77°F) there must be at least enough fluid to drain out of the fluid level hole. This will ensure that
there is enough fluid in the sump to fill the components once the vehicle is started.
Non Dipstick Level Checking Procedure
1. Start the engine. 2. Depress the brake pedal and move the shift lever through each gear range,
pausing for about 3 seconds in each range. Then move the shift lever
back to PARK (P).
3. Allow the engine to idle 500-800 rpm for at least 3 minutes to allow any fluid foaming to dissipate
and the fluid level to stabilize. Release the
brake pedal.
Note: If the TFT reading is not at the required temperature, allow the vehicle to cool, or operate the
vehicle until the appropriate TFT is reached. If the fluid temperature is below the specified range,
perform the following procedure to raise the fluid temperature to the specification.
Drive the vehicle in second gear until the fluid temperature is at the specified temperature.
4. Keep the engine running and observe the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) using the Driver
Information Center or a scan tool.
Caution: The transmission fluid level must be checked when the transmission fluid temperature
(TFT) is at 85-95°C (185-203°F). If the TFT is not at this temperature, operate the vehicle or allow
the fluid to cool as required. Setting the fluid level with a TFT outside this temperature will result in
either an under or over-filled transmission. TFT 95°C under-filled, TFT 85°C over-filled. An
under-filled transmission will cause premature component wear or damage. An over-filled
transmission will cause fluid to discharge out the vent tube, fluid foaming, or pump cavitation.
5. Raise the vehicle on a hoist. The vehicle must be level, with the engine running and the shift
lever in the PARK range.
6. While the vehicle is idling, remove the oil level set plug. Allow any fluid to drain.
Oil Level Plug (1)
* If the fluid is flowing as a steady stream, wait until the fluid begins to drip.
* If no fluid comes out, add fluid until fluid drips out.

Fuel Pressure: Testing and Inspection Fuel System Diagnosis
Fuel System Diagnosis
Diagnostic Instructions
* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection
and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic
procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned
ON. The ECM will disable the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds unless the ECM detects ignition
reference pulses. The ECM continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as ignition reference
pulses are detected. The ECM 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
pump module, eliminating the need for a return pipe from the engine. A returnless fuel system
reduces the internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the engine to the
fuel tank. Reducing the internal temperature of the fuel tank results in lower evaporative emissions.
The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel pump
module inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel feed pipe to
the fuel injection system. The fuel pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow than is needed by the
fuel injection system. The fuel pump also supplies fuel to a venturi pump located on the bottom of
the fuel pump module. The function of the venturi pump is to fill the fuel pump module reservoir.
The fuel pressure regulator, a part of the fuel pump module, maintains the correct fuel pressure to
the fuel injection system. The fuel pump module contains a reverse flow check valve. The check
valve and the fuel pressure regulator maintain fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail in
order to prevent long cranking times.

The following procedures test for a short to ground in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (DMM)
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the Ohms position. 4. Connect one lead of the DMM to
one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground. 6. If the
DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
With a Test Lamp
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 4. Connect the other lead of
the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 5. If the test lamp illuminates, there is a short to
ground in the circuit.
Fuse Powering Several Loads
1. Review the system schematic and locate the fuse that is open. 2. Open the first connector or
switch leading from the fuse to each load. 3. Connect a DMM across the fuse terminals (be sure
that the fuse is powered).
* When the DMM displays voltage the short is in the wiring leading to the first connector or switch.
* If the DMM does not display voltage refer to the next step.
4. Close each connector or switch until the DMM displays voltage in order to find which circuit is
shorted.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Deterrent Alarm, Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Stays On, Discharged Battery
(Diagnose/Repair Door Lock Assembly/Circuit)
Models:
2006-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2006-2009 Pontiac G6 2006-2009 Saturn AURA
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-64-022 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
- The door ajar message stays on or comes on intermittently.
- The interior lights stay on or turn on intermittently.
- The content theft deterrent alarm goes off intermittently.
- RAP does not cancel when the door is opened allowing the radio, power windows, sunroof and
the compass to remain powered up.
- The battery is discharged.
Cause
These conditions may be caused by water intrusion into the door ajar switch (part of the door lock
assembly) which causes an incorrect switch status input to the BCM. This condition can be
intermittent and wet weather may aggravate this condition.
Correction
Use the following steps to aid in diagnosis of the concern.
Important DO NOT replace the body control module (BCM) for this concern.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) and monitor the door ajar switch inputs to the BCM. The Tech 2(R) lists the
left front door separately, then all passenger doors
together.
2. Check if a door ajar message is active with the doors closed. If this condition is not present,
washing the vehicle may induce the concern. Note that
the vehicle may have to sit for up to two hours.
3. If the concern is the RAP does not cancel when the left front door is opened, suspect the left
door lock assembly. If the door ajar message is active
on the passenger door, it could be any of the other doors.
4. Try opening and closing each passenger door one at a time while monitoring the door ajar status
to see if one of the doors will cause the message
to change to door closed. If it does, suspect that door lock.
5. If the message does not change, you can isolate which door is indicating ajar by disconnecting
the individual door electrical connector at the
pass-through on the pillar side. Always start with the right front door first. If the message changes
to door closed when the door is disconnected, suspect that door lock.
Once you have identified the suspect door, refer to SI for complete circuit testing. Refer to
Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle Access in SI.
Warranty Information
Important Use the appropriate labor operation for the repair performed.

Air Bag Connector Inspection
1. Move the driver's seat to the maximum forward position and raise the seat to its maximum
height. 2. Using a flash light, locate the air bag and body wire harnesses.
Note Vehicles that have new air bag connectors will have a tie strap securing the two (2) wires
exiting the air bag connector to the main body wiring harness. In addition, the new air bag
connectors will have an orange connector position assurance (CPA) clip that is tethered to the
connector. Ensure both the orange CPA clip and tie strap are located. Air bag and body wire
harnesses without the tie strap and/or CPA clip must have the air bag connectors replaced.
3. Determine if the new air bag connectors have been installed.
- If the vehicle is equipped with the new air bag connectors, no further action is required. Refer to
Warranty Transaction Information in this bulletin.
- If the vehicle is NOT equipped with the new air bag connectors, replace the air bag connectors.

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

Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to 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.

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

visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
* Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent
open or short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
* Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
* Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the
customer concern.
* Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Testing for Electrical
Intermittents) for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and
short to voltage conditions.
* Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Scan Tool Snapshot
Procedure) for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion is
a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is a small motion between
electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that
the electrical resistance across the connection increases. Movement between the contacting
surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of
paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and hard to see. Vibration and thermal
expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since vehicles vibrate and
can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin, copper,
nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult
to see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add Nyogel lubricant 760G
(dielectric grease) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe
away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the
terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing
a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor
connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of
contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or
damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and
dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody
connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper
adapter. Always use the J 35616 when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation
are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector
halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact
causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses
and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use J-35616-35 to test for proper terminal contact.
Failure to use J-35616-35 can result in improper diagnosis of the BEC.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves. 2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination.
Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or
between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An
underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its
entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125, test that the retention force is significantly
different between a good terminal and a suspect
terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire (Dock and Lock) Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire (dock and lock) connectors on the harness side or the
component side.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question. 2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of
contamination. Avoid touching either side of the connector as oil from your skin may be a
source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal
contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are
uniform and free of damage or deformation.

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

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

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Bulletin No.: 11034
Date: March 14, 2011
Subject: 11034 - Service Air Bag Message - Replace Connectors
Models:
2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2010 Pontiac G6
Some, but not all, of the vehicles involved in this Program were also involved in Customer
Satisfaction Program (CSP) 10085. These vehicles are to be inspected to determine if the repair for
CSP 10085 included the replacement of the two connectors. If the connectors were replaced, no
further action is required on these vehicles. If they were not replaced, dealers are to install the new
connectors.
Condition
Certain 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles may have a condition in which
wear could lead to corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the body
main wiring harness and the front driver and passenger side impact airbag. Over time, the wear
may result in a resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG system warning message in the
Driver Information Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully functional.
Over time, and if the SERVICE AIR BAG system DIC warning message is ignored, the resistance
could increase to a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when commanded in
a side impact crash.
Some of these vehicles were previously repaired under Customer Satisfaction Program 10085.
These vehicles had the wire harness secured, and in some cases, rerouted. They did not require
the installation of the two connectors. However, there have been reports of the SERVICE AIR BAG
message illuminating in the Driver Information Center after the repair, due to movement of the
connector between the body main wiring harness and the front driver and passenger side impact
air bag. With this Customer Satisfaction Program, dealers will install the two new connectors.
Correction
Dealers are to inspect and, if necessary, replace the front seat-mounted side impact air bag
connectors.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles.
Important Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Required
Field Actions section in the Global Warranty Management system. Not all vehicles may be
involved.
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle
identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be
provided to US and Canadian dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports, or sent
directly to export dealers. Dealers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles
currently assigned.
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.
Parts Information
Parts required to complete this program are to be obtained from General Motors Customer Care
and Aftersales (GMCC&A;). Please refer to your "involved vehicles listing" before ordering parts.
Normal orders should be placed on a DRO = Daily Replenishment Order. In an emergency
situation, parts should be ordered on a CSO = Customer Special Order.

Important
If runout is still present, contact the brake lathe supplier.
ON-CAR TYPE LATHE
Use the following procedure to calibrate an On-Car brake lathe:
1. Connect the lathe to a vehicle using the appropriate adapter.
2. Attach a vise-grip dial indicator to a fixed point in the wheel well and bring the dial indicator to a
flat surface on the cutting head.
3. Turn on the lathe and press the "start" button so the lathe begins to compensate.
4. Once compensation is complete, note the runout as measured by the dial indicator. Measured
runout at this point is overstated given that it is
outside the rotor diameter.
5. If runout is in excess of 0.1016 mm (0.004 in) (0.050 mm (0.002 in) as measured within the rotor
diameter), calibration must be tightened. Follow
manufacturer's instructions for tightening the calibration of the lathe. This information is found in the
manual supplied with the lathe.
Important If the machine is taking a long time to compensate during normal use, prior to checking
the lathe calibration, it is recommended that the machine be disconnected from the adapter and the
adapter (still connected to the vehicle) is rotated 180 degrees and the machine reattached. This will
accomplish two things: - It will re-verify the machine is properly attached to the adapter. - It will
change the location of the runout (phase) relative to the machine and thus possibly allow for quick
compensation as a result of the position change.
The following information has been added as a reference to ensure your Pro-Cut PFM lathe
provides a consistent smooth surface finish over long term usage.
Cutting Tips / Depth of Cut / Tip Life
The cutting tips must be right side up. Reference marks always face up. The cutting tips may not
have chips or dings in the surface of the points. Cuts of 0.1016-0.381 mm (0.004-0.015 in) will
provide the best surface finish and the optimal tip life. When cleaning or rotating the cutting bits,
make sure that the seat area for the tip on the tool is free and clear of debris.
Cutting Head
On each brake job, the technician must center the cutting head for that particular vehicle using one
of the mounting bolt holes on the slide plate. Once the head is centered, it is vital that the
technician use one hand to push the head firmly and squarely back into the dovetail on the slide
plate while using the other hand to tighten the Allen-Hex bolt that secures the head. Failure to do
this could result in chatter occurring during the cut.
Tool Holder Plate (Cutting Head)
The tool holder plate is the plate that the cutting arms are attached to. It can bend or break if a
technician accidently runs the cutting arms into the hub of the rotor while the rotor is turning. (Cuts
of more than 0.508 mm (0.020 in) can also bend this plate). Once bent, the lathe will most likely not
cut properly until the tool holder plate is replaced. In order to verify the condition of the tool holder
plate on a machine that will not cut right, remove the mounting bolt and remove the cutting head
from the slide plate. With the cutting head titled at an angle, lay the long edge of the tool holder
plate down on the flat part of the slide plate. If any gap can be seen between the edge and the slide
plate, the tool holder plate is bent and the source of vibration. Also check to ensure that the cutting
arms are lying flat on the upper side of the tool holder plate. If the mounting arm post is bent, it will
show itself by having the back of the cutting arm lifting off the surface of the tool holder.
Gib Adjustment / Loose Gib
As wear occurs between the slide plate and the box it rides on, you must take up the slack. You do
this by way of a moveable wedge, which we call the gib. Your lathe manual details adjustment
process, which you should perform when required after monthly checks or whenever surface finish
is inconsistent.
Brake Pulsation
BRAKE PULSATION
Brake pulsation is caused by brake rotor thickness variation. Brake rotor thickness variation causes
the piston in the brake caliper, when applied, to "pump" in and out of the caliper housing. The
"pumping" effect is transmitted hydraulically to the brake pedal. Brake pulsation concerns may
result from two basic conditions:

2. Install the transmission side cover.
Important: It is recommended that transmission adaptive pressure (TAP) information be reset.
Resetting the TAP values using a scan tool will erase all learned values in all cells. As a result, The
ECM, PCM or TCM will need to relearn TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as
new TAP values are learned.
3. Reset the TAP values. Refer to Transmission Adaptive Functions See: Description and
Operation.

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.

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

Subject: Intermittent No Crank/No Start, No Module Communication, MIL, Warning Lights, Vehicle
Messages or DTCs Set by Various Control Modules - Diagnosing and Repairing Fretting Corrosion
(Disconnect Affected Connector and Apply Dielectric Lubricant)
Models:
2011 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
Attention:
This repair can be applied to ANY electrical connection including, but not limited to: lighting, body
electrical, in-line connections, powertrain control sensors, etc. DO NOT over apply lubricant to the
point where it prevents the full engagement of sealed connectors. A light coating on the terminal
surfaces is sufficient to correct the condition.
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the Attention statement and add the 2011
model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 09-06-03-004C (Section 06 Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment on any of the following conditions:
- An intermittent no crank/no start
- Intermittent malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illumination
- Intermittent service lamp illumination
- Intermittent service message(s) being displayed
The technician may determine that he is unable to duplicate the intermittent condition.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a buildup of nonconductive insulating oxidized debris known as
fretting corrosion, occurring between two electrical contact surfaces of the connection or connector.
This may be caused by any of the following conditions:
- Vibration
- Thermal cycling
- Poor connection/terminal retention
- Micro motion
- A connector, component or wiring harness not properly secured resulting in movement
On low current signal circuits this condition may cause high resistance, resulting in intermittent
connections.
On high current power circuits this condition may cause permanent increases in the resistance and
may cause a device to become inoperative.

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

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

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

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

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

Seat Heater: Description and Operation
Heated Seats Description and Operation
Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the heated seat module from the HTD SEAT fuse
located in the rear fuse block. Ignition voltage is supplied to the heated seat switch and the heated
seat module from the ROOF/HEAT SEAT fuse located in the BCM. When commanded ON, the
heated seat module uses this voltage to heat the seat heating elements. The heated seat module
and the seat heating elements are grounded through the module ground circuit to G303.
Each time the heated seat switch is pressed, B+ is supplied to the heated seat module through the
heated seat signal circuit. The module counts these inputs to determine what level of heat the
vehicle operator is commanding. In response to these switch signals, the heated seat module
closes it's contacts and applies battery positive voltage through the heated seat element supply
voltage circuit to the seat heating elements. When the thermistor inside the seat cushion reaches a
certain resistance, the control module open and close the supply voltage in order to maintain that
heat level.

Aluminum Wheel Bead Seat Corrosion (Clean and Resurface Wheel Bead Seat)
Models:
2000-2011 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (including Saturn) 2003-2009 HUMMER H2

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

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is
an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are a one time protection device and must be replaced each time
the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine if
the element in the fuse is broken (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a Digital
Multimeter (DMM) or a continuity tester. If the element is broken or continuity is suspect, replace
the fuse with one of equal current rating.

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

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

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

Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is
often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or
a Digital Multimeter (DMM) at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine
if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gauge size.
Repairing a Fusible Link
Note: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload

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 Crimping Tool
* J 38125-5 Ultra Torch Special Tool
The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J-38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
GMLAN Repairs
Note: When making a repair to any GMLAN network, the original wire length after the repair must
be the same length as before the repair. If the network is a twisted pair, the twist must be
maintained after the repair is completed.
GMLAN has 2 types of networks, low speed and high speed. Low speed GMLAN has a single wire
and works at slow speeds. High speed GMLAN has 2 wires in a twisted pair and works at higher
speeds. For more information on GMLAN, refer to Data Link Communications Description and
Operation ( See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information
Bus/Description and Operation).
GMLAN Connector Terminal Repair
Note: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed
and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high
speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the
repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125. If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical
Diagnostic Procedures/Connector Repairs/Connector Repairs) for the appropriate connector repair
procedure.

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

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

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 2435
Caution: Replacement components must be the correct part number for the application.
Components requiring the use of the thread locking compound, lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, or
sealants are identified in the service procedure. Some replacement components may come with
these coatings already applied. Do not use these coatings on components unless specified. These
coatings can affect the final torque, which may affect the operation of the component. Use the
correct torque specification when installing components in order to avoid damage.
Caution: Use care when handling the coolant sensor. Damage to the coolant sensor will affect the
operation of the fuel control system.
1. If reinstalling the original sensor, or if installing a NEW sensor without a sealer, coat the threads
with sealant. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids,
Lubricants, and Sealers (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Specifications/Adhesives,
Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers).
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Fastener
Caution).
2. Install the ECT sensor (1) to the thermostat housing and tighten the sensor to 20 Nm (15 lb ft).
3. Connect the engine wiring harness electrical connector (1) to the ECT sensor (2). 4. Fill the

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.

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

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

Pigtail repair packs are available for SIR/SRS connectors with eight or less terminals. Only the
connector body is available for connectors with more than eight terminals. The terminated leads in
the J-38125 SIR/SRS Terminal Repair Kit can be used to replace damaged terminals when
replacing the connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Wiring Repairs)
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gauge size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice
crimping tool from the J-38125 Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the
integrity of the DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- 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.

Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The accessory DC/AC power inverter module converts 12 V direct current (DC) battery voltage to
110 V at 60 Hertz (Hz) alternating current (AC) in order to operate AC powered devices. The
accessory DC/AC power inverter module provides up to 150 watts of power. The accessory DC/AC
power inverter module is connected to a chassis ground circuit and receives fuse protected battery
voltage.
The accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC has an internal switch, that detects when an AC
powered device is plugged into the receptacle. When the ignition is ON and an AC powered device
is plugged into the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC, the normally open switch in the
accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC, closes. When the accessory DC/AC power inverter
module detects the voltage from the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC switch, the inverter
module begins to supply 110 V AC to the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC after a 1.5
second delay.

Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection 6T30/6T40/6T45 - Automatic Transmission
Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check
This procedure checks both the transmission fluid level, as well as the condition of the fluid itself.
Caution: Use Dexron VI transmission fluid only. Failure to use the proper fluid may result in
transmission internal damage.
Note: Ensure the transmission has enough fluid in it to safely start the vehicle without damaging the
transmission. With the vehicle off and the transmission fluid temperature at approximately 20-25°C
(68-77°F) there must be at least enough fluid to drain out of the fluid level hole. This will ensure that
there is enough fluid in the sump to fill the components once the vehicle is started.
Non Dipstick Level Checking Procedure
1. Start the engine. 2. Depress the brake pedal and move the shift lever through each gear range,
pausing for about 3 seconds in each range. Then move the shift lever
back to PARK (P).
3. Allow the engine to idle 500-800 rpm for at least 3 minutes to allow any fluid foaming to dissipate
and the fluid level to stabilize. Release the
brake pedal.
Note: If the TFT reading is not at the required temperature, allow the vehicle to cool, or operate the
vehicle until the appropriate TFT is reached. If the fluid temperature is below the specified range,
perform the following procedure to raise the fluid temperature to the specification.
Drive the vehicle in second gear until the fluid temperature is at the specified temperature.
4. Keep the engine running and observe the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) using the Driver
Information Center or a scan tool.
Caution: The transmission fluid level must be checked when the transmission fluid temperature
(TFT) is at 85-95°C (185-203°F). If the TFT is not at this temperature, operate the vehicle or allow
the fluid to cool as required. Setting the fluid level with a TFT outside this temperature will result in
either an under or over-filled transmission. TFT 95°C under-filled, TFT 85°C over-filled. An
under-filled transmission will cause premature component wear or damage. An over-filled
transmission will cause fluid to discharge out the vent tube, fluid foaming, or pump cavitation.
5. Raise the vehicle on a hoist. The vehicle must be level, with the engine running and the shift
lever in the PARK range.
6. While the vehicle is idling, remove the oil level set plug. Allow any fluid to drain.
Oil Level Plug (1)
* If the fluid is flowing as a steady stream, wait until the fluid begins to drip.
* If no fluid comes out, add fluid until fluid drips out.

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

Chevrolet and GMC Medium Duty Trucks 2006-2010 HUMMER H3 with Manual Transmission
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year and to add Cold Operation
information. 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).

wheel must be secured in position before disconnecting the following components:
* The steering column
* The intermediate shaft(s)
* The steering gear
After disconnecting these components, do not rotate the steering wheel or move the front tires and
wheels. Failure to follow this procedure may cause the SIR coil assembly to become UN-centered
and cause possible damage to the SIR coil. If you think the SIR coil has became UN-centered,
refer to your specific SIR coil's centering procedure to re-center SIR Coil.
1. Turn the front wheels to the straight ahead position and secure the steering wheel from moving.
2. Place drain pans under the vehicle. 3. Remove as much power steering fluid from the power

* Evaporative emission (EVAP) system losses
Should this vehicles on-board diagnostic system (ECM) detect a condition that could result in
excessive emissions, the ECM turns ON the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and stores a DTC
that is associated with the condition.
Aftermarket (Add-On) Electrical And Vacuum Equipment
Caution: Do not attach add-on vacuum operated equipment to this vehicle. The use of add-on
vacuum equipment may result in damage to vehicle components or systems.
Caution: Connect any add-on electrically operated equipment to the vehicle's electrical system at
the battery (power and ground) in order to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Aftermarket, add-on, electrical and vacuum equipment is defined as any equipment installed on a
vehicle after leaving the factory that connects to the vehicles electrical or vacuum systems. No
allowances have been made in the vehicle design for this type of equipment.
Add-on electrical equipment, even when installed to these strict guidelines, may still cause the
powertrain system to malfunction. This may also include equipment not connected to the vehicle
electrical system, such as portable telephones and radios. Therefore, the first step in diagnosing
any powertrain condition is to eliminate all of the aftermarket electrical equipment from the vehicle.
After this is done, if the problem still exists, the problem may be diagnosed in the normal manner.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Damage
Note: In order to prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage to the engine control module
(ECM), DO NOT touch the connector pins on the ECM.
The electronic components that are used in the control systems are often designed to carry very
low voltage. The electronic components are susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic
discharge. Less than 100 V of static electricity can cause damage to some electronic components.
There are several ways for a person to become statically charged. The most common methods of
charging are by friction and by induction. An example of charging by friction is a person sliding
across a car seat.
Charging by induction occurs when a person with well insulated shoes stands near a highly
charged object and momentarily touches ground. Charges of the same polarity are drained off
leaving the person highly charged with the opposite polarity. Static charges can cause damage,
therefore, it is important to use care when handling and testing electronic components.
Emissions Control Information Label
The underhood Vehicle Emissions Control Information Label contains important emission
specifications and setting procedures. In the upper right corner is the exhaust emission information.
This identifies the year, the manufacturing division of the engine, the displacement of the engine in
liters, the class of the vehicle, and type of fuel metering system. There is also an illustrated
emission components and vacuum hose schematic.
This label is located in the engine compartment of every General Motors vehicle. If the label has
been removed, it can be ordered from GM service parts operations (GMSPO).
Underhood Inspection
Note: This inspection is very important and must be done carefully and thoroughly.
Perform a careful underhood inspection when performing any diagnostic procedure or diagnosing
the cause of an emission test failure. This can often lead to repairing a condition without further
steps. Use the following guidelines when performing an inspection:
* Inspect all of the vacuum hoses for correct routing, pinches, cuts, or disconnects.
* Inspect any hoses that are difficult to see.
* Inspect all of the wires in the engine compartment for the following conditions:
- Burned or chafed spots
- Pinched wires
- Contact with sharp edges
- Contact with hot exhaust manifolds
Page 6078
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

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

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. Lifting Points

* 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.

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.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor Learn
Special Tools
J-46079 Tire Pressure Monitor Diagnostic Tool
Learn Mode Description
The tire pressure monitor (TPM) system uses the instrument panel cluster (IPC), body control
module (BCM), remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR), keyless entry transmitter, 4 radio
frequency transmitting pressure sensors, and the serial data circuit to perform the TPM learn mode
functions. The sensor learn procedure must be performed after every tire rotation, RCDLR
replacement, or sensor replacement. Once the learn mode has been enabled, each of the sensors
unique identification codes can be learned into the RCDLR memory. When a sensor ID has been
learned, the RCDLR sends a serial data message to the BCM to sound a horn chirp. This verifies
the sensor has transmitted its ID and the RCDLR has received and learned it. The RCDLR must
learn the sensor IDs in the proper sequence to determine correct sensor location. The first learned
ID is assigned to the left front location, the second to right front, the third to right rear and the fourth
to left rear. The turn signals will individually illuminate indicating which location is to be learned in
the proper sequence.
Sensor Functions Using J-46079
Each sensor has an internal low frequency coil. When the J-46079 is used in activate mode, it
produces a low frequency transmission that activates the sensor. The sensor responds to a low
frequency activation by transmitting in learn mode. When the RCDLR receives a learn mode
transmission while in TPM learn mode, it will assign that sensors ID to the location on the vehicle
relative to the order in which it was learned.
Sensor Functions Using Pressure Increase/Decrease Method
Each sensor takes a pressure measurement sample once every 30 seconds while in stationary
mode. If the tire pressure increases, or decreases by more than 8.3 kPa (1.2 psi) from the last
pressure measurement, another measurement will occur immediately to verify the change in
pressure. If a pressure change has indeed occurred, the sensor transmits in Learn mode. When
the RCDLR receives a Learn mode transmission while in TPM learn mode, it will assign that
sensor's ID to the location on the vehicle relative to the order in which it was learned.
Learn Mode Cancellation
The learn mode will cancel if the ignition is cycled to OFF or if more than 2 minutes has elapsed for
any sensor that has not been learned. If the learn mode is cancelled before the first sensor is
learned, the original sensor IDs will be maintained. If the learn mode is canceled after the first
sensor is learned, the following will occur:
* All stored sensor IDs will be invalidated in the RCDLR memory.
* If equipped, the DIC will display dashes instead of tire pressures.
* DTC C0775 will be set.
These conditions will now require the learn procedure to be repeated for the system to function
properly.
TPM Learn Procedure
Note: If using the scan tool to enable the learn mode, the J-46079 must be used to activate the
sensors. When this preferred method is used, any stray sensor signals will not affect the learn
procedure. In the event a particular sensor's information is displayed on the special tool upon
activation but the horn does not chirp, it may be necessary to rotate the wheel valve stem to a
different position due to the sensor signal is being blocked by another component.
If using the keyless entry transmitter or DIC buttons to enable the learn mode, the J-46079 or
Pressure Increase/Decrease Method may be used. Before proceeding with this method, ensure
that no other learn procedure is being performed simultaneously or that tire pressures are not being
adjusted on another TPM equipped vehicle within close proximity. Stray signals from other TPM
equipped vehicles just driving by can be inadvertently learned. If any random horn chirps are heard
from the vehicle while performing the learn procedure, most likely a stray sensor has been learned
and the procedure will need to be cancelled and repeated. Under these circumstances, performing
the TPM Learn Procedure away from other vehicles would be highly recommended. In the event a
particular sensor activation does not cause the horn to chirp, it may be necessary to rotate the
wheel valve stem to a different position due to the sensor signal is being blocked by another
component.
Preferred Scan Tool Learn Enable Method
1. Using a scan tool, initiate the TPM Learn Mode. A double horn chirp will sound indicating the
Learn Mode has been enabled. The left front turn
signal will also be illuminated.
2. Starting with the left front tire, active the sensor by holding the antenna of the J-46079 aimed
upward against the tire sidewall close to the wheel
rim at the valve stem location. Press and release the Activate button and wait for a horn chirp.
Once the horn chirp has sounded, the sensor information is learned and the turn signal in the next
location to be learned will illuminate.

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 Continuity

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

An Overview of Proper Vehicle Service
General Motors is aware that some companies are marketing tools and equipment to support a
subsystem flushing procedures. These dedicated machines are in addition to many engine oil,
cooling system, fuel system, A/C, transmission flush and steering system additives available to the
consumer. GM Vehicles under normal usage do not require any additional procedures or additives
beyond what is advised under the former Vehicle Maintenance Schedules or the current Simplified
Maintenance Schedules. Do not confuse machines available from Kent-Moore/SPX that are
designed to aid and accelerate the process of fluid changing with these flushing machines.
Engine Crankcase Flushing

GM Authorized Service Information: Detailed, Descriptive, and Complete
If a specific model vehicle or powertrain need is identified, GM will issue an Authorized Service
Document containing a procedure and, if required, provide, make available, or require the specific
use of a machine, tool or chemical to accomplish proper vehicle servicing. An example of this is
fuel injector cleaning. Due to variation in fuel quality in different areas of the country, GM has
recognized the need for fuel injector cleaning methods on some engines, though under normal
circumstances, this service is not part of the maintenance requirements.
GM has published several gasoline fuel injector cleaning bulletins that fully outline the methods to
be used in conjunction with GM Part Numbered solutions to accomplish proper and safe cleaning
of the fuel injectors with preventative maintenance suggestions to maintain optimum performance.
You may refer to Corporate Bulletin Numbers 03-06-04-030 and 04-06-04-051 for additional
information on this subject.
Subsystem Flushing
Flushing of A/C lines, radiators, transmission coolers, and power steering systems are recognized
practices to be performed after catastrophic failures or extreme corrosion when encountered in
radiators. For acceptable A/C flushing concerns, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 01-01-38-006.
This practice is NOT required or recommended for normal service operations.
The use of external transmission fluid exchange or flush machines is NOT recommended for the
automatic or manual transmission. Use of external machines to replace the fluid may affect the
operation or durability of the transmission. Transmission fluid should only be replaced by draining
and refilling following directions in SI. Refer to Automatic/Manual Transmission Fluid and Filter
Replacement.
Approved Transmission Flushing Tool (Transmission Cooler Only)
The Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Flush and Flow Test Tool is recommended for GM
vehicles. Refer to Transmission Fluid Cooler Flushing and Flow Test in SI using the J 45096.

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

non-directional finish:
1. Follow the brake lathe manufacturer's recommended speed setting for applying a non-directional
finish. 2. Using moderate pressure, apply the non-directional finish:
* If the lathe is equipped with a non-directional finishing tool, apply the finish with 120-grit aluminum
oxide sandpaper.
* If the lathe is not equipped with a non-directional finishing tool, apply the finish with a sanding
block and 150-grit aluminum oxide sandpaper.
3. After applying a non-directional finish, clean each friction surface of the brake rotor with
denatured alcohol, or an equivalent approved brake
cleaner.
9. Remove the lathe from the vehicle.
10. Measure the assembled LRO of the brake rotor. Refer to Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral
Runout Measurement (See: Brake Rotor Assembled
Lateral Runout Measurement).

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

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

Caution
When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must
be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR
components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in
unnecessary SIR system repairs.
1. Perform the Diagnostic System Check-Vehicle. 2. Identify the DTC that is set AND review the
DTC Descriptor in the corresponding diagnostic procedure. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC)
List-Vehicle in SI.
3. Using the information from the DTC Descriptor, determine the location of the affected electrical
connector. Refer to SIR Identification Views and
the Master Electrical Component List in SI.
4. Turn OFF the ignition and disable the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system. Refer to
SIR Disabling and Enabling in SI. 5. BEFORE removing, INSPECT the CPA retainer at the

6. Remove the CPA retainer and disconnect the electrical connector. Inspect the terminals for the
following conditions:
- Corrosion
- Contamination
- Terminal tension
- Damage
Important The terminals in the SIR/SRS system are made with a special plating. This plating
provides the necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. Use the J-38125
SIR/SRS Terminal Repair Kit for repairing SIR/SRS terminals and connectors. DO NOT substitute
any other terminals for those in the repair kit.
‹› If the terminals are damaged, corrosion is observed, or have poor tension, repair or replace as
necessary. Apply dielectric grease, GM P/N
12345579 (in Canada, use P/N 10953481) on the connector pins and terminals when
reassembling. Refer to SIR/SRS Wiring Repairs in SI.
Note The connector and connector position assurance (CPA) may seat independent of each other.
Both the connector and CPA should seat with an audible and/or tactile click. The CPA isolates the
shorting-bars within the connector allowing the deployment circuit to operate properly.
7. Connect the electrical connector, and install the CPA retainer. 8. Enable the supplemental
inflatable restraint (SIR) system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling in SI. 9. Clear the DTC with a

* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the Splice Crimp Tool from the J-38125 to crimp DuraSeal splice sleeve. In order to position
the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the Splice Crimp Tool. The crimp tool has three nests, (1) is for the salmon and green splice
sleeve, (2) is for the blue splice sleeve, and (3) is for the yellow splice sleeve.
6. Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the
end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop
(3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand
crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. 8. Tightly close the
handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal
splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
Page 6019
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the
circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
* Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying
voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply
circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors,
fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component.
A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit
to carry sufficient current. Ensure that the circuit can carry the current necessary to operate the
component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Power
Distribution Schematics (See: Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Power Distribution Schematics).
* Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple
ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need
to be tested. Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Ensure that the circuit can
carry the current necessary to operate the component. Refer to Circuit Testing (See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Circuit Testing/Circuit Testing) and Ground Distribution Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Ground Distribution Schematics).
Temperature Sensitivity
* An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating
temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when
the component/connection is hot.
* Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type
of intermittent condition, where applicable.
* If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
- High ambient temperatures
- Underhood/engine generated heat
- Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
- Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
* If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
- Low ambient temperatures-In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
- The condition only occurs on a cold start.
- The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
* Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is
temperature related.
* If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the
condition. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions (See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Circuit Testing/Inducing
Intermittent Fault Conditions) in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other
types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
* A misrouted harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary
ignition components, motors, generator etc-These components may induce electrical noise on a
circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
* Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven
solenoid or switch-These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will
occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
* Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way
radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc-These
accessories may lead to interference while in use, but do not fail when the accessories are not in
use. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Checking Aftermarket
Accessories).
* Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays
may contain a clamping diode.
* The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
* There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
- A new service control module is installed.
- A control module from another vehicle is installed.
- Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.

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

Coolant: Fluid Type Specifications
ENGINE COOLANT The cooling system in the vehicle is filled with DEX-COOL engine coolant.
This coolant is designed to remain in the vehicle for five years or 240 000 km (150,000 miles),
whichever occurs first.
The following explains the cooling system and how to check and add coolant when it is low.
CAUTION: Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be dangerous. Plain water, or some
other liquid such as alcohol, can boil before the proper coolant mixture will. Your vehicle's coolant
warning system is set for the proper coolant mixture. With plain water or the wrong mixture, your
engine could get too hot but you would not get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire
and you or others could be burned. Use a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL
coolant.
Use a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL coolant. If using this mixture,
nothing else needs to be added. This mixture: Gives freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C).
Gives boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C). Protects against rust and corrosion. Will not damage
aluminum parts. Helps keep the proper engine temperature.
NOTICE: If you use an improper coolant mixture, your engine could overheat and be badly
damaged. The repair cost would not be covered by your warranty. Too much water in the mixture
can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
NOTICE: If extra inhibitors and/or additives are used in the vehicle's cooling system, the vehicle
could be damaged. Use only the proper mixture of the engine coolant listed for the cooling system.

Terminal Replacement Procedure
After the terminal is crimped to the wire, perform the following procedure in order to replace the
terminal.
1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal
into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other
terminals. Ensure that the terminal is
locked in place by gently pulling on the wire.
3. To assemble the connector, reverse the connector disassembly procedure.
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 TPA
is removed, be sure to reinstall it before reconnecting the connector.
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
Circuit Protection - Circuit Breakers
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in
excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the
circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types
of circuit breakers are used. Circuit Breaker
- This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again
after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The
circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is
removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
- This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The
excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually
the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the
PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once
the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close

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

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

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

Tires: Removal and Replacement
Tire Dismounting and Mounting
Caution: Use a tire changing machine in order to dismount tires. Do not use hand tools or tire irons
alone in order to remove the tire from the wheel. Damage to the tire beads or the wheel rim could
result.
Caution: Do not scratch or damage the clear coating on aluminum wheels with the tire changing
equipment. Scratching the clear coating could cause the aluminum wheel to corrode and the clear
coating to peel from the wheel.
Caution: Damage to either the tire bead or the wheel mounting holes can result from the use of
improper wheel attachment or tire mounting procedures. It takes up to 70 seconds for all of the air
to completely exhaust from a large tire. Failure to follow the proper procedures could cause the tire
changer to put enough force on the tire to bend the wheel at the mounting surface. Such damage
may result in vibration and/or shimmy, and under severe usage lead to wheel cracking.
1. Remove the valve core from the valve stem. 2. Deflate the tire completely.
Note: Rim-clamp European-type tire changers are recommended.
3. Use the tire changer in order to remove the tire from the wheel. Follow steps 4-7 to remove the
tire from the wheel.
4. When separating the tire bead from the wheel, position the bead breaking fixture 90, 180 and
270 degrees from the valve stem.
Caution: Failure to position valve stem in proper position while dismounting and mounting the tire
may result in the TPM sensor to become damaged.
5. Position the wheel and tire so the valve stem is at the 7 o'clock position relative to the head. The
tire iron or pry bar can be inserted when prying
the outer tire bead up and over the mounting/dismounting head.

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

* Yellow vinyl electrical tape
Pigtail repair packs are available for SIR/SRS connectors with eight or less terminals. Only the
connector body is available for connectors with more than eight terminals. The terminated leads in
the J-38125 SIR/SRS Terminal Repair Kit can be used to replace damaged terminals when
replacing the connector body.
SIR/SRS Component Wire Pigtail Repair
Note: Do not make wire, connector, or terminal repairs on components with wire pigtails.
A wire pigtail is a wire or wires attached directly to the device, not by a connector. If a wiring pigtail
is damaged, you must replace the entire component, with pigtail. The inflatable restraint steering
wheel module coil is an example of a pigtail component.
SIR/SRS Wire Repair
Note: Refer to Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic Procedures/Wiring Repairs/Wiring Repairs)
If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the
same gauge size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves and splice
crimping tool from the J-38125 Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the
integrity of the DuraSeal splice sleeves.
Note: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the procedure if any
wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip with all of the wire strands intact.
1. Open the harness by removing any tape:
* Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness
in order to avoid wire insulation damage.
* Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
* Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to
change the location of a splice.
Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices,
harness branches, or connectors.
3. Strip the insulation:
* When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
* Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
- Find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size.
- Use an AWG wire gauge.
- If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work
down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at
the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
Page 7919
6. On the body harness, position two FEMALE terminals onto the wires. Caution must be used not
to position the wire too far forward as it may
interfere with the mating portion of the terminal. Crimp the terminals on to the bare wire using the J38125-7 crimp tool, jaw E (1). Repeat the procedure using two MALE terminals on the seat airbag
harness.
7. Position the wire seal to the terminal and crimp the seal and insulation using the J-38125-6 crimp
tool, jaw 1 (1).
The completed terminal and seal should appear as shown above (body harness connector shown).
Note Avoid getting solder on the terminal end or overheating the terminal.
Warning
DO NOT use soldering equipment that is battery or electric powered. These types of soldering
irons can induce voltage into the circuit, which may cause inflator module deployment and/or
damage to electrical components. Use only the EL-28125-5 Ultra Torch or another butane fueled
soldering iron when working on SIR circuits.
8. Solder all four terminals at the wire crimp.
9. Slide the two body harness terminals through the opening of the orange connector position
assurance (CPA) (1).

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

Subject: 10085D - Airbag Readiness Light/Service Airbag Message - Replace Connectors
Models:
2008 Buick Enclave 2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2008 GMC Acadia 2010 Pontiac G6 2008 Saturn
OUTLOOK
Supercede: The Service Procedure in this bulletin has been revised. All vehicles will not require the
replacement of the front seat-mounted side impact airbag connectors.Please discard all copies of
bulletin 10085C, issued November 2010.
Condition
Certain 2008 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK vehicles, and 2010
model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles may experience wear which could lead to
corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the body main wiring harness
and the front driver and passenger side impact air bag. Over time, the wear may result in a
resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG System warning message in the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully functional. Over time, and if
the SERVICE AIR BAG System DIC warning message is ignored, the resistance could increase to
a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when commanded in a side impact
crash.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the front seat-mounted side impact airbag connectors.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2008 model year Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK
vehicles, and 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles built within these VIN
breakpoints:
Important Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Required
Field Actions section in the Global Warranty system. Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints
may be involved.
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle
identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be
provided to US and Canadian dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports, or sent
directly to export dealers. Dealers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles
currently assigned.
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.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor Learn
Special Tools
J-46079 Tire Pressure Monitor Diagnostic Tool
Learn Mode Description
The tire pressure monitor (TPM) system uses the instrument panel cluster (IPC), body control
module (BCM), remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR), keyless entry transmitter, 4 radio
frequency transmitting pressure sensors, and the serial data circuit to perform the TPM learn mode
functions. The sensor learn procedure must be performed after every tire rotation, RCDLR
replacement, or sensor replacement. Once the learn mode has been enabled, each of the sensors
unique identification codes can be learned into the RCDLR memory. When a sensor ID has been
learned, the RCDLR sends a serial data message to the BCM to sound a horn chirp. This verifies
the sensor has transmitted its ID and the RCDLR has received and learned it. The RCDLR must
learn the sensor IDs in the proper sequence to determine correct sensor location. The first learned
ID is assigned to the left front location, the second to right front, the third to right rear and the fourth
to left rear. The turn signals will individually illuminate indicating which location is to be learned in
the proper sequence.
Sensor Functions Using J-46079
Each sensor has an internal low frequency coil. When the J-46079 is used in activate mode, it
produces a low frequency transmission that activates the sensor. The sensor responds to a low
frequency activation by transmitting in learn mode. When the RCDLR receives a learn mode
transmission while in TPM learn mode, it will assign that sensors ID to the location on the vehicle
relative to the order in which it was learned.
Sensor Functions Using Pressure Increase/Decrease Method
Each sensor takes a pressure measurement sample once every 30 seconds while in stationary
mode. If the tire pressure increases, or decreases by more than 8.3 kPa (1.2 psi) from the last
pressure measurement, another measurement will occur immediately to verify the change in
pressure. If a pressure change has indeed occurred, the sensor transmits in Learn mode. When
the RCDLR receives a Learn mode transmission while in TPM learn mode, it will assign that
sensor's ID to the location on the vehicle relative to the order in which it was learned.
Learn Mode Cancellation
The learn mode will cancel if the ignition is cycled to OFF or if more than 2 minutes has elapsed for
any sensor that has not been learned. If the learn mode is cancelled before the first sensor is
learned, the original sensor IDs will be maintained. If the learn mode is canceled after the first
sensor is learned, the following will occur:
* All stored sensor IDs will be invalidated in the RCDLR memory.
* If equipped, the DIC will display dashes instead of tire pressures.
* DTC C0775 will be set.
These conditions will now require the learn procedure to be repeated for the system to function
properly.
TPM Learn Procedure
Note: If using the scan tool to enable the learn mode, the J-46079 must be used to activate the
sensors. When this preferred method is used, any stray sensor signals will not affect the learn
procedure. In the event a particular sensor's information is displayed on the special tool upon
activation but the horn does not chirp, it may be necessary to rotate the wheel valve stem to a
different position due to the sensor signal is being blocked by another component.
If using the keyless entry transmitter or DIC buttons to enable the learn mode, the J-46079 or
Pressure Increase/Decrease Method may be used. Before proceeding with this method, ensure
that no other learn procedure is being performed simultaneously or that tire pressures are not being
adjusted on another TPM equipped vehicle within close proximity. Stray signals from other TPM
equipped vehicles just driving by can be inadvertently learned. If any random horn chirps are heard
from the vehicle while performing the learn procedure, most likely a stray sensor has been learned
and the procedure will need to be cancelled and repeated. Under these circumstances, performing
the TPM Learn Procedure away from other vehicles would be highly recommended. In the event a
particular sensor activation does not cause the horn to chirp, it may be necessary to rotate the
wheel valve stem to a different position due to the sensor signal is being blocked by another
component.
Preferred Scan Tool Learn Enable Method
1. Using a scan tool, initiate the TPM Learn Mode. A double horn chirp will sound indicating the
Learn Mode has been enabled. The left front turn
signal will also be illuminated.
2. Starting with the left front tire, active the sensor by holding the antenna of the J-46079 aimed
upward against the tire sidewall close to the wheel
rim at the valve stem location. Press and release the Activate button and wait for a horn chirp.
Once the horn chirp has sounded, the sensor information is learned and the turn signal in the next
location to be learned will illuminate.

(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 Continuity
Testing for Continuity
Special Tools
EL 39200 - Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools (See: Power and Ground Distribution/Tools and
Equipment).
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Test
Probe Caution).
The following procedures verify good continuity in a circuit.
With a Digital Multimeter (DMM)
1. Set the DMM to the Ohms position. 2. Disconnect the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from
the suspect circuit. 3. Disconnect the load. 4. Select the MIN MAX function on the DMM. 5.
Connect one lead of the DMM to one end of the circuit to be tested. 6. Connect the other lead of
the DMM to the other end of the circuit. 7. If the DMM displays low or no resistance, the circuit has
good continuity.
With a Test Lamp
Note: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit. 2. Disconnect the
load. 3. Connect one lead of the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested. 4. Connect the
other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage. 5. Connect the other end of the circuit to
ground. 6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.

8. Use a small flat-blade tool to pry the other side of the piece to the pre-stage position. If the nose
piece is higher than the first step in the nose piece,
gently push down on the nose piece until it meets with resistance from the connector body, you
should feel the nose piece click into position.
9. Insert the J 38125-213 into the small terminal release hole on the nose piece and gently pull on
the back of the wire.
10. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit
to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
Terminal Repair Procedure
Refer to the terminal crimping procedure in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 Terminal Repair
Kit.
Terminal Replacement Procedure
After the terminal is crimped to the wire, perform the following procedure in order to replace the
terminal.
1. Slide the new terminal into the correct cavity at the back of the connector. 2. Push the terminal
into the connector until it locks into place. The new terminal should be even with the other
terminals. Ensure that the terminal is
locked in place by gently pulling on the wire.

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

OF SUCH IMPROPER DESIGN ALTERATIONS, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY REPAIRS
INCURRED.
You may have a customer with a concern that the head restraint is uncomfortable or sits too far
forward. The front driver and passenger seats are equipped with head restraints that have been
designed to help minimize injuries while still providing comfort to the occupants. Each GM vehicle
has its own specifically designed head restraint.
The head restraints should only be used in the vehicle for which they were designed. The head
restraint will not operate to its design intent if the original foam is replaced (1) by non-GM foam or
head restraint, (2) by GM foam or head restraint designed for a different vehicle, (3) by GM foam or
head restraint that has been altered by a trim shop or (4) if any object, such as an aftermarket
comfort enhancing pad or device, is installed.
Never modify the design of the head restraint or remove the head restraint from the vehicle as this
may interfere with the operation of the seating and restraint systems and may prevent proper
positioning of the passenger within the vehicle.

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

Information/Brake Dust Warning).
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. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle (See:

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.

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

Alignment: Testing and Inspection
Trim Height Inspection
Trim Height Measurement
Trim height is a predetermined measurement relating to vehicle ride height. Incorrect trim heights
can cause the vehicle to bottom out over bumps, damage to the suspension components and
symptoms similar to wheel alignment problems. Check the trim heights when diagnosing
suspension concerns and before checking the wheel alignment.
Perform the following before measuring the trim heights:
* Set the tire pressure to the specifications shown on the certification label. Refer to Vehicle
Certification, Tire Placard, Anti-Theft, and Service Parts ID Label (See: Application and ID/Vehicle
Certification, Tire Placard, Anti-Theft and Service Parts ID Label).
* 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.
Measuring the P and R Dimension
Important: All dimensions are measured vertical to the ground. Trim height should be within ±10
mm (±0.39 in) to be considered correct.
Use the following procedure to check the P and R dimensions:
1. Lift the front bumper of the vehicle up about 38 mm (1.5 in). 2. Gently remove your hands and let
the vehicle settle. 3. Repeat this operation 2 more times for a total of 3. 4. P height is measured
vertically from the ground to the bottom lip of the wheel opening through the centerline of the front
wheel. 5. Push the front bumper of the vehicle down about 38 mm (1.5 in). 6. Gently remove your
hands and let the vehicle settle down. 7. Repeat this operation 2 more times for a total of 3. 8.
Measure the P height as in step 4. 9. The true P height measurement is the average of the
measurements taken in step 4 and 8.
10. Repeat the above steps on the rear of the vehicle for the R heights

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

Bulletin No.: 09-08-64-022A
Date: March 24, 2010
Subject: Various Intermittent Electrical Concerns - Door Ajar Message, Interior Lights On, Theft
Deterrent Alarm, Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Stays On, Discharged Battery
(Diagnose/Repair Door Lock Assembly/Circuit)
Models:
2006-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 2006-2009 Pontiac G6 2006-2009 Saturn AURA
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2010 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-64-022 (Section 08 - Body and Accessories).
Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following concerns:
- The door ajar message stays on or comes on intermittently.
- The interior lights stay on or turn on intermittently.
- The content theft deterrent alarm goes off intermittently.
- RAP does not cancel when the door is opened allowing the radio, power windows, sunroof and
the compass to remain powered up.
- The battery is discharged.
Cause
These conditions may be caused by water intrusion into the door ajar switch (part of the door lock
assembly) which causes an incorrect switch status input to the BCM. This condition can be
intermittent and wet weather may aggravate this condition.
Correction
Use the following steps to aid in diagnosis of the concern.
Important DO NOT replace the body control module (BCM) for this concern.
1. Use the Tech 2(R) and monitor the door ajar switch inputs to the BCM. The Tech 2(R) lists the
left front door separately, then all passenger doors
together.
2. Check if a door ajar message is active with the doors closed. If this condition is not present,
washing the vehicle may induce the concern. Note that
the vehicle may have to sit for up to two hours.
3. If the concern is the RAP does not cancel when the left front door is opened, suspect the left
door lock assembly. If the door ajar message is active
on the passenger door, it could be any of the other doors.
4. Try opening and closing each passenger door one at a time while monitoring the door ajar status
to see if one of the doors will cause the message
to change to door closed. If it does, suspect that door lock.
5. If the message does not change, you can isolate which door is indicating ajar by disconnecting
the individual door electrical connector at the
pass-through on the pillar side. Always start with the right front door first. If the message changes
to door closed when the door is disconnected, suspect that door lock.
Once you have identified the suspect door, refer to SI for complete circuit testing. Refer to
Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle Access in SI.

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.

H2, H3 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X
Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to add the 2011 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 05-09-40-002D (Section 09 - Restraints).
The purpose of this bulletin is to explain when the safety belts are supposed to lock. There are
several different locking situations for both front and rear safety belts.
Overspool Lock
There is an unintentional locking condition that ALL safety belts from ALL manufacturers may
experience called "overspool lock". If the webbing snaps back to the stowed position rapidly
enough, the retractor will lock with the belt fully stowed. This is more likely to occur when
customers "help" the belt to retract. Without the weight of the latch plate and friction to slow the
retractive speed of the webbing, the higher than normal webbing retraction speed that occurs
engages the locking mechanism when a sudden stop occurs at the end of web travel. Since the
webbing is now fully loaded on the spool, the retractor cannot rewind itself further to release the
locking mechanism. When this happens, the occupant cannot extract the belt to wear it. DO NOT
replace the retractor for this condition until first attempting to disengage the locking mechanism by
following the recommendation listed below.
Recommendation
Pull hard on the locked webbing and then release. The hard pull extracts a small amount of
webbing from the retractor which, in turn, permits a small amount of retraction to occur when
released. This is all that is needed to disengage the locking mechanism. The safety belt will now
function properly.
Vehicle Sensing
This type of locking occurs in response to the vehicle under the following conditions:
- The vehicle changes speed or direction abruptly (the vehicle goes into rapid acceleration OR
rapid deceleration or there is aggressive cornering).
- It can also occur in a static condition when a vehicle is parked on a large slant (fore-aft or
side-to-side), such as streets in San Francisco, California.
- It may also occur over rough road conditions where the retractor mechanism is bounced into a
locked condition.
In all of these conditions, as long as tension is maintained on the webbing, the belt will stay locked.
When the tension is released, the belt retracts slightly, the lock bar disengages and the safety belt
should return to normal function. Please inform customers that may comment that "the belt locks
intermittently" that this is the design intent and the belt is functioning properly.
Web Sensing
This type of locking occurs in response to the extraction of webbing. When the webbing reels out at
an accelerated rate, it goes into lock mode and stays there until tension is again released. To
observe this condition, extract the webbing quickly. Customers may refer to this condition as
"intermittent lock-up" and encounter it when trying to put the belt on too quickly.
Automatic Locking (ALR)
When the webbing is pulled all the way out, it automatically converts the retractor into a cinch-down
mode (i.e. ALR). This is typically used to tightly secure a child seat to the vehicle. Some customers
may experience inadvertent activation of ALR mode if they happen to pull the belt all the way out to
the end of travel while they are putting the belt on. The ALR mode of operation is automatically
cancelled when the belt is unfastened and stowed (the belt returns to normal sensitive function).
Corvette only - This locking mechanism is also provided at the driver's position of the Corvette only,
as a unique feature. Corvette customers may find this feature appealing when they plan to operate
the vehicle in a "spirited" manner (such as driving in mountainous terrain). With the ALR active, the
operator is snugly cinched into the seat and kept firmly in place during high G-force driving
maneuvers.

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

Special Tools
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 Crimping Tool
* J 38125-5 Ultra Torch Special Tool
The DuraSeal splice sleeves have the following 2 critical features:
* A special heat shrink sleeve environmentally seals the splice. The heat shrink sleeve contains a
sealing adhesive inside.
* A cross hatched (knurled) core crimp provides necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low
energy circuits.
The J-38125 also serves as a generic terminal repair kit. The kit contains the following items:
* A large sampling of common electrical terminals
* The correct tools in order to attach the terminals to the wires
* The correct tools in order to remove the terminals from the connectors
GMLAN Repairs
Note: When making a repair to any GMLAN network, the original wire length after the repair must
be the same length as before the repair. If the network is a twisted pair, the twist must be
maintained after the repair is completed.
GMLAN has 2 types of networks, low speed and high speed. Low speed GMLAN has a single wire
and works at slow speeds. High speed GMLAN has 2 wires in a twisted pair and works at higher
speeds. For more information on GMLAN, refer to Data Link Communications Description and
Operation ( See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information
Bus/Description and Operation).
GMLAN Connector Terminal Repair
Note: A service terminal can be used to replace damaged connector terminals for both high speed
and low speed GMLAN systems. When making a connector terminal repair on a GMLAN high
speed system with twisted pair wires, do not untwist the wires more than necessary to make the
repair.
The terminals in the GMLAN system are made of a special metal. This metal provides the
necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. These terminals are available in
the J-38125. If the individual terminals are damaged on any GMLAN connection, use the
appropriate connector repair procedure in order to repair the terminal. Refer to Connector Repairs
(See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical
Diagnostic Procedures/Connector Repairs/Connector Repairs) for the appropriate connector repair
procedure.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
* The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
* A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from
voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
* If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
* To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply
stores) in order to cut open the harness.
* If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape. 3. Check and record the current flow
direction and orientation of diode. 4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable
soldering tool.
Note: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector
to prevent damage from the soldering tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not
remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
6. Check current flow direction of the new diode, being sure to install the diode with correct bias.

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

symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of
causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the
following items:
* Wiring broken inside the insulation
* Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
* Poor terminal to wire connection-Some conditions which fall under this description are poor
crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion
in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.

conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little

Dear General Motors Customer:
This notice is sent to inform you that General Motors is conducting a Customer Satisfaction
Program that affects your 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu or Pontiac G6.
We have learned that your 2010 model year Chevrolet Malibu or Pontiac G6 may have a condition
in which wear could lead to corrosion in the connector terminal pins at the connection between the
body main wiring harness and the front driver and passenger side impact airbag. Over time, the
wear may result in a resistance value that sets a SERVICE AIR BAG system warning message in
the Driver Information Center (DIC). The seat side impact air bag would continue to be fully
functional. Over time, and if the SERVICE AIR BAG system DIC warning message is ignored, the
resistance could increase to a level in which the seat side impact air bag may not deploy when
commanded in a side impact crash.
Your Malibu or G6 may have been serviced previously to reroute and secure both front
seat-mounted side impact airbag wire harnesses. However, there have been reports of the
SERVICE AIR BAG message illuminating in the Driver Information Center (DIC) on vehicles that
had the wire harnesses rerouted and secured, but did not have new connectors installed. Our
records indicate that your vehicle may not have had the new connectors installed.
What We Will Do: Since your vehicle may not have had new connectors installed, your GM dealer
will inspect your vehicle to determine if new connectors have been installed, and will install two new
connectors, if required. This service will be performed for you at no charge.
What You Should Do: To limit any possible inconvenience, we recommend that you contact your
dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment for this repair.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, just contact your dealer or the appropriate
Customer Assistance Center at the number listed below.
Courtesy Transportation
If your vehicle is within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, your dealer may provide you with shuttle
service or some other form of courtesy transportation while your vehicle is at the dealership for this
repair. Please refer to your Owner Manual and your dealer for details on Courtesy Transportation.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience or concern that this situation may cause you. We want you
to know that we will do our best, throughout your ownership experience, to ensure that your GM
vehicle provides you many miles of enjoyable driving.
